REVIEW · PARIS
Paris Pass with over 90 Top Attractions including Notre Dame Tour
Book on Viator →Operated by Go City | Paris · Bookable on Viator
Ninety-plus sights in one pass sounds wild. This one is interesting because it’s built around 90+ attractions with a Go City app, plus a mobile ticket that helps you string together museums, landmark views, and neighborhood walks without planning every ticket from scratch. It also bundles major names like the Louvre and Notre-Dame-related access so your days can feel packed with big-hitter stops.
I like that it doesn’t only sell monuments—it also routes you toward real Paris experiences, like a Seine cruise that includes iconic river sights and several food-focused stops in classic areas. The main drawback to weigh is that many top attractions need advance reservations, and popular time slots can be tight, so you’ll want to book what matters most early and keep a couple backup options in your pocket.

Key takeaways before you buy

- 90+ attractions across 2 to 6 days: enough flexibility to match your pace.
- Notre-Dame Parvis Crypt tour is guided first: you get a 1-hour expert tour, then a self-guided crypt visit.
- Big-ticket museums still require reservations: the pass helps with admission, but timing can be the bottleneck.
- You can mix classic landmarks with food breaks: breakfast, cheese, wine, macarons, crepes, champagne pairings.
- One clear day trip option: Parc Astérix takes you outside the city boundaries.
How this Paris Pass works in real life

Think of this pass as two things at once: a digital pass plus a Paris Museum Pass component. That matters because it can reduce the number of separate tickets you’d otherwise juggle, especially if you plan to hit multiple museums and major sights in a short window.
You choose a pass length from 2 to 6 days, and you’ll use the Go City app to organize your days. The app is there to help you map out what you want to do, but it won’t magically solve the real Paris issue: timed-entry demand. Some attractions are straightforward entry with your pass. Others need advanced booking even though admission is included.
Also note the pass is mobile ticket–based and offered in English, which is helpful when you’re trying to move quickly and keep your day’s plan in one place.

Price and logistics: where the value comes from

At $215.54 per person, this pass isn’t cheap, so you only come out ahead if you use it like a strategist. The math usually works when you do enough included attractions to replace a stack of separate museum tickets, plus a couple paid tours.
Here’s the key: not all included items behave the same way. Some are “go whenever” style entries, while others are “schedule a slot early” style. If you only manage to snag one or two major reservations, you can end up paying for a pass that doesn’t offset what you still have to buy.
The other practical detail: you’ll likely be moving between neighborhoods and landmarks by public transit. That’s doable—Paris is built for it—but if you’re the type who wants long unhurried afternoons with no transit hassle, you may find yourself doing more logistics than sightseeing.
Louvre, Versailles, Orsay, and the timed-entry reality
The Louvre is included with the Paris Museum Pass portion, but it’s also one of the places where advanced booking is essential. The good news is that planning pays off fast: once you have the entry slot, you can spend your time inside rather than hunting for options.
The Louvre experience is about scale and variety. Plan for a realistic visit length—this pass lists about 3 hours for the included admission slot—so you don’t burn the day trying to see everything. I’d focus on a shortlist. The Louvre can swallow full days if you don’t decide what you actually want to stand in front of.
Versailles is also included via the Paris Museum Pass, and advanced booking is again required. It’s not “just a side trip.” Versailles eats time, and you’ll want to pair it with a lighter day afterward so you don’t feel like you’re living on transit and ticket lines.
Musée d’Orsay (included) is a great match for a museum day because it’s famous for its art and is easier to shape into a focused route than bigger sprawling museum complexes. This pass gives about 2 hours, which is plenty if you pick a couple galleries you really want.
If timed-entry reservations don’t go your way, the pass becomes harder to value. Some people run into problems when they can’t secure preferred reservation times after purchase. Your best protection is simple: treat the highest-demand sites as your first tasks in the app, not your last.
Notre-Dame Parvis Crypt: the most thoughtful stop on the list

The Archeological Crypt of the Parvis of Notre-Dame is one of the strongest inclusions because it’s not only sightseeing—it’s guided storytelling. You get a 1-hour expert-guided tour outside Notre-Dame, then you continue with a self-guided exploration in the crypt.
This setup is smart. The guided part helps you understand what you’re seeing before you wander on your own. And the crypt visit connects directly to the building’s history, including the 2019 blaze aftermath described in the experience content.
Also, a quick reality check: Notre-Dame Cathedral’s interior is free and open to all, but services offered are independent of interior access. So even if your pass covers this crypt experience, you may still need to treat cathedral interior access as its own plan.
One small practical note: this kind of visit works best when you keep your schedule flexible around it. If you’re running late from another reservation, this stop can punish you. Build in a buffer.
Arc de Triomphe and Tour Montparnasse: your best view strategy

When you want Paris in one glance, these are the plays.
The Arc de Triomphe included option is built for big city views, and the experience time listed is about 1 hour. It’s a classic choice if you want perspective—Paris looks different once you’re above the street grid.
Then there’s Tour Montparnasse with panoramic views from the 56th floor. This one can be a lifesaver on days when you want a viewpoint without building an entire day around it. The included time is about 1 hour, and it’s a solid way to round out a museum-heavy day.
If you’re budget-conscious with your time, I’d pick one main viewpoint and do the other as a bonus only if your day is running smoothly. Doing both can be great, but don’t schedule them so tightly that one late entry ruins the rest.
Seine cruise, Big Bus hops, and how to move without wasting daylight

The Bateaux Parisiens Seine River Cruise is about 60 minutes and it’s a “you’ll remember this later” kind of activity. The route includes major sights along the water, including Musée d’Orsay, the Eiffel Tower, and Notre-Dame, starting at the Eiffel Tower and drifting downriver toward Notre-Dame.
Cruises are valuable with a pass because they create low-stress sightseeing. You’re not navigating a route while also standing in line, and the views help you orient your next stops.
For a flexible land option, the pass includes a Big Bus Paris hop-on hop-off day. This is useful when you’re trying to reduce walking fatigue or when you want to drop off near landmarks and return later.
What I like about combining these two styles is that you can build your day around energy. Cruise for the smooth scenery. Bus for your own pacing.
Museum variety beyond the usual icons

Paris isn’t only Louvre-and-Versailles, and this pass quietly supports that.
Centre Pompidou is included, with the note that admission is covered by the Paris Museum Pass and you’ll need to download your pass instructions in the app. The building itself is a draw, and the included visit time is about 2 hours.
Pantheon is another smart include if you like French intellectual history and impressive architecture. The listed time is about 1 hour.
Musée Picasso-Paris is included and clocks in at about 1.5 hours, which is ideal if you want something art-focused without turning it into an all-day museum marathon.
Sainte-Chapelle is included but requires advanced booking. The pass gives about 1.5 hours, and this is one of the best reasons to plan ahead, because the demand for this place tends to be high and time slots can get tight.
Paradox Museum Paris (included) is a different kind of museum: interactive and sensory, about 1.5 hours. When your brain is tired from galleries, these hands-on exhibits are a good reset.
FlyView is a virtual reality 360-degree experience lasting about 20 minutes. It’s short, which makes it easy to fit into the edges of your day.
Montmartre and Saint-Germain: walks plus real food stops

Two walking tours are included: Montmartre & Sacré Coeur and Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Both are listed as needing reservations, and each is around 1.5 hours.
Montmartre is full of artist energy, and the tour description points to the neighborhood’s Belle Époque creative legacy, mentioning famous names like Modigliani, Monet, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, and Van Gogh. If you want Paris flavor without turning it into a checklist, this is the part that often feels most “you’re really here.”
Saint-Germain-des-Prés leans into “real Paris life,” with oldest streets and cobblestone passageways. This kind of slower walking works well right after a busy museum morning, because it’s easy to pace yourself.
Now for the fun part: the pass includes several food moments that feel like mini experiences, not just hunger fixes.
- Café Louise for a traditional breakfast in Saint-Germain-des-Prés (croissant, juice, baguette, coffee, fruit).
- Au Cadet de Gascogne for a Champagne Gourmand in Montmartre, pairing champagne with sweet pastries.
- Au Vieux Châtelet for a Seine-area brasserie afternoon with croque monsieur and a champagne cocktail.
- Le Bistro Marbeuf for French sweet crepes.
- La Mère Catherine for macarons in Montmartre until midday.
- Ô Chateau for a cheese tasting where you learn about cheese-making and characteristics.
- Les Caves du Louvre for a wine tasting experience with three wines, with an English guided option noted as popular.
This is one place where the pass can feel like more than tickets. If you schedule one food stop per day, you’ll keep your day from feeling like a march.
Cheese, wine, and sweet breaks: how to pace your day
Food inclusions are where you can win with this pass—if you use them to manage energy.
Breakfast at Café Louise can anchor your morning, especially if you start early because the rest of Paris gets busier as you go. Then you can stack a museum or landmark by late morning and shift into a tasting or snack mid-afternoon.
For the tastings—cheese, wine, pastries—plan them as “half activities.” They’re often about 1 hour per stop, so they help you break the day into manageable blocks without draining a full sightseeing session.
If you’re trying to do too much, these food stops won’t rescue you. They work best when you combine one paid-timed site with a relaxed, scheduled break.
Food for thought: the entertainment side of the pass
Not every included item is a “standing in front of art” kind of day.
The pass includes:
- Choco-Story Paris (musée du chocolat), about 1 hour
- Grevin Museum (wax museum), about 1.5 hours
- Aquarium de Paris – CineAqua, about 1.5 hours
- France Miniature, about 4 hours outside Paris
- How to become Parisian in one hour, a one-man comedy show in English, about 1 hour
- Parc Astérix, about 3 hours in the Paris region
These are useful when you want variety or you’re visiting with people who don’t all want the same museum vibe.
France Miniature can be a great option if you want a long-ish “see a lot quickly” afternoon without building a complicated route around it. Parc Astérix is the out-of-city adrenaline slot when you want something different from the Paris core.
Parc Astérix outside Paris: when to choose the day trip
Parc Astérix is included and listed at about 3 hours. Because it’s outside city boundaries, it changes the rhythm of your trip.
I’d treat Parc Astérix like a standalone day: go, enjoy, then return without stacking multiple heavy reservations afterward. Theme parks usually run on their own schedule, and your pass time is only helpful if you give yourself room to move.
If you’re traveling with kids or you want a clear break from museums, this is the most obvious “day trip option” in the set of inclusions.
Value checklist: when this pass really pays off
Here’s the honest way to judge if the pass is worth it for you.
This pass tends to be a win if:
- You’re doing multiple top museums in the same trip window (Louvre, Orsay, Pompidou, Picasso, Pantheon, Sainte-Chapelle).
- You’re adding at least one landmark-view day (Arc de Triomphe or Tour Montparnasse).
- You’re using included tours like the Seine cruise and Big Bus to reduce transit stress.
- You’ll actually use the food experiences rather than skipping them.
This pass can disappoint if:
- You buy it expecting you’ll walk into everything. Many entries need advanced booking or timed slots.
- You only end up securing a small slice of the attractions you wanted.
- Your travel style is slow and you hate being pulled between distant spots.
There’s also a hard fact from people’s experiences: when reservations aren’t available for the dates you picked, it can lead to feeling like the pass didn’t cover what you planned, and refunds can be hard to come by. So you don’t want to wait until the last minute to see what slots are actually open.
Who should book this pass, and who should skip it
This pass fits best if you:
- Like seeing a mix of big-ticket icons and neighborhood experiences.
- Are comfortable using a planning app and managing timed entries.
- Want to pack a lot into 2 to 6 days without buying every ticket separately.
You might skip it if you:
- Prefer a slow pace with minimal scheduling.
- Don’t want to manage reservations for major sites.
- Are hoping the pass removes the need to plan top attractions in advance.
Should you book this Paris Pass?
If your trip includes several of these: Louvre, Orsay, Sainte-Chapelle, Versailles (if you’re doing it), a viewpoint, a Seine cruise, and at least a couple food experiences, this pass can be good value for your time and your money.
But if your priority list is mostly the highest-demand timed-entry sights—and you know you’ll book late or your dates are fixed tight—pause and plan your reservations early in the app. The pass helps with admission, but it doesn’t erase how popular Paris is.
If you’re unsure, I’d make your decision like this: choose the 4–6 experiences you’d feel sad to miss, then check whether you can realistically secure the slots you need. If you can, the pass can turn your Paris days into a well-paced sampler. If you can’t, you may end up spending extra anyway.
