Great
Our tickets through Viator said 10:30am, but no one was there to meet us & when I called the tour company on the ticket, I was told the start time had moved to 12:00. Very stressful when we thought we couldnt find our guide, but once we came back at the new time, all was okay. Our guide, Daniel was very funny and showed us the highlights of the museum very well, although the joke about St. Francis & Jesus was NOT appropriate- maybe he didnt know that would be offensive to Christians, but Id leave that one out next time.

Disappointed that it was advertised we would see the Crown Jewels that was part of the advertisement for the tour but it wasnt included as told the Crown Jewels had been stolen prior to us booking the tour. This is false advertising. Also took an hour of the 2 hour tour just to get into the museum. It felt very rushed. Should have let people know that they would need more time to see the rest of the museum. The tour was only of 3 highlights - 2 statues and 1 painting. What we saw was very good and the guide was very knowledgeable.

What can I bring inside the Louvre Museums?

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.

Yes! Please ensure that all members of your party, including children, have a valid ID on them on the day of the visit.
