Reviews of evenings and visits around Jacquemart-André
First, a clarification: the Jacquemart-André Museum admission ticket cannot be reserved on this site. It is purchased at the museum ticket office or at the counter at 158, and online reservation is not mandatory. What I review here are the six GetYourGuide reservations surrounding the visit: two opera evenings in the salons of the Hôtel André, a private stroll through the neighborhood, and three add-ons for the same day—the Palais Garnier, the Musée d’Orsay, and a nighttime cruise. I’ve read their reviews, compared what they include, and noted what visitors regret.
The six reservations reviewed
La Traviata in the salons of the Jacquemart-André Museum
Verdi performed in the grand salon after closing, with champagne and private access to the collections. The only way to see the salons without the crowds.
2 hrs, including 1 hr 30 of operaRead the full review ›
Rigoletto at the Jacquemart-André Museum, opera in the salons
The other Verdi of the season, performed from salon to salon with piano, violin, and cello. Only two reviews—read them as they are.
2 hrs, 80 seatsRead the full review ›
Private 2 hr walk through Haussmann’s Paris
From the Opéra to Parc Monceau, passing by 158: the 1870s neighborhood explained by a guide just for you. The museum is not included.
2 hr walk, private groupRead the full review ›
Self-guided tour of the Palais Garnier, timed-entry ticket
The grand staircase and grand foyer, a fifteen-minute walk from Jacquemart-André. By far the most booked item on this list.
1 hr 30, at your own paceRead the full review ›
Guided tour of the Musée d’Orsay’s masterpieces
The Impressionists the Hôtel André doesn’t have, with an art historian. Reviews mention their guides by name—a good sign.
2 hrs, 6 or 25 peopleRead the full review ›
Nighttime Seine cruise, Paris illuminated
The highest number of reviews and the most modest rating. A lovely hour on the water, but port logistics to prepare.

I read the reviews posted on GetYourGuide for each of the six products, in the languages I understand, and I note what comes up repeatedly: the quality of the voices or the guide, the warmth in the salons, the boarding at the port, the tablet that won’t start. When a product has only two reviews, I say so instead of pretending there are a hundred. The first names mentioned are those that appear on GetYourGuide, without last names; several reviews are signed with just an initial, and I then refer to them as “a French visitor” or “a Swiss visitor.”
No operator pays me, and none proofread these pages. The site earns a commission when you book through a GetYourGuide link, which doesn’t affect the ratings—those are from visitors—or what I write. I also don’t have any “opinions on the museum” to sell: the daytime visit is paid for at the museum, and what I think about it is in the guide, not here.
The ratings and number of reviews are from my last reading; the booking modules display the current figures. To choose without reading six pages, the booking comparison fits into one table. To find out what time to visit during the day, read the best time and the opening hours.
Frequently asked questions
Can I buy the museum ticket on this site ?
No. The daytime admission ticket is purchased at the museum ticket office or counter, and online booking is not required. The six products compared here are evenings and visits around the house. Details of the two museum tickets are on how much the museum costs and whether you need to book.
Are these reviews independent ?
Yes. I am neither the museum nor an operator, and no one reviews these pages before publication. The site earns a commission on bookings made through its links, as explained in the affiliate policy. The ratings shown are those from GetYourGuide visitors, not mine.
Which review should I start with ?
Start with the one on La Traviata, which is the reason this site exists: it’s the only product that lets you into the salons at 158. If you’d rather fill your day, the review of the Palais Garnier covers the most booked product, a fifteen-minute walk away.
