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.

Our guide Claudia was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and great personality. She whisked us around crowds like a pro…the professional they she is. I would highly recommend this tour as we hit the highlights as requested. We will spend more time in the Louvre on our next visit to Paris!

We realized our mistake by not booking in advance. We were very lucky and pleased to find availability for a tour the same night. Our guide, Felix, was phenomenal. He captured our attention by totally immersing his self into the history of the Louvre! Boy, did we luck out! A+!!!

This tour was fascinating. Our guide Violette was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, and made the tour very entertaining. Without her we would not know what to look for, she pointed out the highlights and provided excellent explanations. Definitely recommend!

Our guided tour of the Louvre was an excellent way to experience this vast museum without feeling overwhelmed. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about art, weaving fascinating stories behind masterpieces like the *Mona Lisa*, *Venus de Milo*, and *Winged Victory of Samothrace*. We appreciated how she balanced art history with fun facts, making it enjoyable for both art lovers and casual visitors. The timing was well-planned, lasting just under three hours—enough to see key highlights without exhaustion. The group size was comfortable, allowing for easy interaction and photo stops. While the museum can get crowded, having skip-the-line access and an expert guide made all the difference. A highly recommended introduction to the Louvre’s timeless treasures.

FAQs

I use a wheelchair. Can I take this tour?

Unfortunately, this tour is not wheelchair accessible. The tour route may include a lot of walking, stairs, and uneven surfaces. A good level of mobility is required and wearing comfortable shoes is recommended. However, we are committed to providing an enjoyable experience for all guests. Please contact our Guest Experience Team 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.
