Excellent
A very worthwhile couple of hours at the Louvre. Our guide, Laurence, was exceptionally knowledgeable and provided intricate details about the paintings and sculptures she shared with us. Laurence truly loves art and this made the tour so enjoyable. Highly recommend.

If you want to experience the most popular pieces in the museum without standing on line for hours to enter with a general admission ticket this is the way to go. Our guide Avi was entertaining and provided interesting information about the history of the museum. His knowledge of BART history and ability to describe the paintings and sculptures were second to none. Visiting the museum has been a lifelong dream for me. This was certainly worth every cent of the price of admission.

Avie was a phenomenal tour guide. So informative, entertaining, interesting. Hope he is a teacher - he should be. Loved this tour.

Felicia was an excellent guide. She educated us on the history of the art as well as playfully amused us with interesting side notes. She is top notch.

What can I bring inside the Louvre Museums?

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.
