Tank was outstanding. The tour was informative and our guide was very knowledgeable. The museum was packed but incredible. Well worth having the guided tour as it provides a more in depth look at the artistic works

Adam was the most extraordinarily brilliant and kind tour guide. I want to go with him again while I'm here in Paris! We could have gotten in and walked around ourselves, but you cant possibly know the pieces he points out, the history and backstory of each one. It is well worth a bit of a splurge to spend 2.5 hours walking with Adam. He is a wealth of knowledge and a tremendous historian. If there were a quadruple 5-star rating, I would rate him that. I will recommend his tours to anyone I know that is coming to Paris! Dont miss this.

It was very expensive. Antoine did a truly superb job as our guide. He is extremely knowledgeable, his English was excellent, very personable and enjoyable! It is evident that he enjoys being a guide and sharing his knowledge with travelers.

Ari was very knowledgeable and added great value to our trip. We hit the highlights of the Louvre and navigated the complexity of the museum with ease. It is the only way to see the Louvre. We saw others trying to navigate via the map, but seemed frustrated and made us realize the value we received on our tour. Would recommend and do it again. Merci!

FAQs

I use a wheelchair. Can I take this tour?
Unfortunately, this tour route is not fully wheelchair accessible. However, an alternate route can be arranged to accommodate visitors in wheelchairs. Please contact our Guest Experience Team at least one week before the tour to discuss arranging a private tour that meets your accessibility needs.
What can I bring inside the Louvre Museums?
Please note that the Louvre will not allow large items inside the museum, so you should bring only a small daypack or handbag. More specifically, only bags smaller than 21.5 in x 13.5 in x 7.5 in (55 cm x 35 cm x 20) cm are permitted. Suitcases and large bags must be left outside. Closed, clear bottles of water are allowed inside the Louvre however food is forbidden inside the site. Please be advised that the use of selfie sticks and flash photography is not allowed inside the Louvre. Additional security checks may cause longer waits at unavoidable security lines at times.
Do I need to bring an ID with me on this tour?
Yes! Please ensure that all members of your party, including children, have a valid ID on them on the day of the visit.
Can you guarantee that I will see every room in the Louvre listed here?
We can't guarantee it, but it's very likely. As with all museums, particular galleries of the Louvre may be closed without prior notice, or pieces may be removed for restoration or loan. In this case, your guide will make an appropriate substitution. However, as the pieces and the rooms we visit on our tour are the most important in the museum, these are the ones least likely to close or leave on loan.
