Highlights
  • Louvre Museum - A trip to Paris isn’t complete without a stop at the Louvre, but the sheer size of the place and the extensive collection can be overwhelming. Join our tour to see the most significant pieces straight away!

The original design of the Louvre as a royal residence wasn’t meant for a museum; it spans almost 10 miles of corridors! Your guide will navigate you through the most celebrated works, while also highlighting a variety of hidden gems along the way.

The Louvre served as a royal palace for four centuries; touring it is like traversing through time. You’ll encounter the remnants of the medieval fortress that once stood here and be dazzled by the opulent Apollo Gallery of Louis XIV.

Naturally, your visit includes an encounter with the world’s most renowned painting, the Mona Lisa. With insights from our guide about this mysterious masterpiece, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of her iconic status.

When our tour wraps up, you’re free to stay in the museum… right up until it closes, if that’s what you choose!

Making Art Come Alive - Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped us navigate crowds efficiently. Her passion for art and art history was certainly obvious and provided us with those little tidbits that made the art come alive. She was the ultimate professional from start to finish. Job very well done.

Fantastuc experience - Our guide Carolina was superb…from her knowledge of the history of the Louvre to the paintings and sculpture….she guided us superbly through the crowds ensuring we had front row access to the main attractions. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour and trust me, small group skip the line is the only way to go!!! Thank you for an unforgettable experience!!!

Excellent - We went to a Guides tour of thé Louvre with Sarah. She was very friendly and professional. Her explanation was clear, and her excitement/enthousiasme about all the art and history was contagious. We saw so much more than the master pieces. Also at the end of the tour she gave us tips on what Parts of the Louvre to visit. She is an excellent guide.

Good Tour - The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The tour length was perfect. My only recommendation is to have better directions for the meeting place. It directed us to an Arch that was under construction, so it was not easy to find and the guide had a very small sign. We found her though and the tour was great.

Excellent tour highly recommend - The Tour Guy had to cancel our original booking for semiprivate tour but placed us in a smaller group at a later time. Romona was our tour guide. It ended up being a private tour and it was fantastic. The louvre is very crowded and can be overwhelming I am so glad we booked a tour to help us make the most of our time and learn interesting details along the way!

Not worth the money - The guide was new. Hardly showed and explained 5-6 display items and took 1 hr for it. After that left us on our own. The ticket says skip the line but the guide made us feel privileged when he made us skip the queue after a long chat with the guards. They dont use the short wave earphones like some other tour operators so the guide is hardly audible in noisy louvre.
