Traveler Tips

Going in the evening meant that parts of the Louvre were less crowded and more quiet, which was good for one our of family members with sensory issues.

I highly recommend taking this tour, especially if you have never been to this most delicious museum!

Highly recommended especially if you're not sure if you really like museums.

Glad to have had a tour

Helen_H, Mar 2023

There weren't enough people booked for my first tour so they cancelled, luckily I was available to join the tour the next day. The tour itself was good, but only about 90 minutes inside the Louvre. Guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, also open to suggestion and considerate of group interests. Be prepared to ask any questions you have about the main works and plan to see any collections outside of the most famous pieces on your own after (you're free to stay as long as you like) because the museum is HUGE and no tour can show it all.

Perfect Family Tour

Guide’s English was excellent, hit the high points of the museum, perfect tour for our family of 5, felt we had a thorough visit of the Louvre.

Fantastic Louvre tour

Mark_M, Jan 2023

The tour was more than seeing the big draws, learnt about the Louvre and saw some really interesting exhibits on our 2 hrs tour

Perfect guided short tour

Jonathan_B, Jan 2023

We booked the tour the night before, only having a small window of time between other stuff we had booked, which this tour fit into. So happy it was a small group tour, only us and another couple. Our guide was fantastic and took notice when we were checking something out that he hadn't talked about and took time to give us more details. He even gave us suggestions on where to go next in the Louvre at the end of the tour based on what he saw us taking the most interest in. This was a great intro to the Louvre and we got to see the popular spots efficiently, no need to wander around to try and find the Mona Lisa or other famous pieces.

Wonderful!!

Guide was knowledgeable and engaging- highly recommend!!! He had lots of stories and was able to answer all our questions.

Wonderful Guide

Monica_C, Dec 2022

Anna Marie went above and beyond to get us all into the museum and was incredibly knowledgeable!!!!!

Perfect way to visit the Louvre.

Simon_H, Dec 2022

Florian was a fantastic tour guide. He was very entertaining friendly and informative. We covered the most important art works without rushing.

Krista_C, Dec 2022

I'd hired a private tour guide for the Louvre two years ago and our semi-private group tour (which turned out to be just our family of five) through Viator was better! I was very pleasantly suprised and would recomment.

The small tour was a...

LesLee_S, Dec 2022

The small tour was a great way to get introduced to the grand Louvre. Florian was very knowledgeable about the pieces we visited as well as the history of the museum itself. Only complaint is I wish it were longer!

Weekend in Paris

Omotayo_A, Nov 2022

After quite a stressful week, Taiwo and I spent the day at the Louvre. We got to take in and appreciate some rich french history, architecture and art. It was an immensely pleasurable experience.

amazing

Santa_R, Nov 2022

our guide was excellent ,we saw the most relevant pieces of art ,we have a great experience ,no lines ,thanks

Best tour ever!

Jennifer_A, Nov 2022

Our guide was amazing! She taught us so much about the history of the building and the history of the antiquities collections of Greek and Roman sculptures and Renaissance painters. She was extremely knowledgeable and just adorable. The Lourve is overwhelming and being in such a small group with such an engaging guide who was a natural storyteller made all the difference.

Very disappointed.

Salvatore_F, Nov 2022

You moved the tour reservation from 11:30 s as m until 4:30 pm and then canceled all together. Very disappointed.

Great Tour Guide

kristen_N, Nov 2022

Loic our tour guide was absolutely wonderful and so knowledgeable!!! We learned so much more than we would if we had gone on our own.

An utterly disappointing experience!!

DIANA_Q, Nov 2022

Our tour got cancelled as guide was sick and they couldn’t find a replacement. Our tour was supposedly at 4pm and after communicating with the rep, we could only opt for refund and buy new tickets to go into Lourve on our own. Our tickets was 4.30pm and Lourve closes at 5.45pm, we had very limited time and could only cover a small part of the museum, made worse because we had no guide to help us “zoom in”.

Small group tour of the Louvre

JOHN_D, Nov 2022

easy entry; personal insights of guide; small group made it easier to stay close to and hear the guide

Our guide, Loic Lafon,...

Regina_C, Nov 2022

Our guide, Loic Lafon, made Le Louvre museum experience a memorable and understandable visit. He carefully curated each stop so that we had a sense of history and art. So helpful!

Terrible tour

LindaK, Nov 2022

No memorable moments. Terrible tour. Guide’s accent was so strong I could barely understand what he was saying

1st Louvre visit

Zenobia_O, Oct 2022

The Louvre Museum is awesome! Our guide was very helpful in navigating and insights to various art. We could not have enjoyed this experience without him.

Fantastic guide!

Nicole_R, Oct 2022

Highly recommend this tour which allowed us to see the museum highlights with a very knowledgeable and charming guide, Ann Marie. She led us on a wonderful tour with historic facts and fun anecdotes. She was patient and even made it possible for my mother, who walks with a cane, to see the Mona Lisa up close! It was such a memorable experience!
