I tried to make a reservation through the official website but it was difficult, so I used this site. I was able to pay easily in Japanese and enter without any problems! I highly recommend it. It was crowded by mid-afternoon!
I had trouble making a reservation through the official website, so I used this service at the last minute, but it turned out to be a very good experience. 1) There is a group line for admission, so you don't have to wait in a long line. 2) The guide said that he wouldn't give any explanations and would just take you to the Mona Lisa, but in fact he walked slowly to the main works. 3) It was possible to join him after viewing the Mona Lisa. This time, we were guided by a man named ROSA, who was very kind and able to understand my poor English. I was really grateful. Although it was all in English, he spoke clearly, so I think people who understand a certain level of English won't have any problems.
