The tour is well organized. The guide was clever, witty and a shining and warm personality with lots of interesting knowledge. I didn't understand all her words, bur it was maybe more because of my poor skills than her prounanciation. The tour is a kind of a good introduction to the museum: after it you can look for the artefacts you are interested in with the map you get and by asking from experenced hall guides. There is no use for the Paris museum pass on the day you take the tour: both are expensive and you cannot get any discount.

Very informative and friendly guide. The group was small (12) and easily guided throughout the Louvre.

Worth the price of admission and our guide, Frédérique was truly passionate about the material. He was a great guide and offered knowledge and a great experience.

The “skip the line” access was in itself worth the price, but the passion that our guide Frédérique brought to the tour was A+ I would recommend this to anyone who is truly interested in art history and the Louve.

Eric was a great tour guide weaving stories of past with art. Three hour tour of louvre with instant access.

This was my first time at The Louvre and this tour was an excellent tour. Be ready for 3 hours on your feet, walking and standing. Our tour guide, Nazli, was outstanding. She was friendly, accommodating and taught me things I never even heard of before.

There are a lot of steps and walking so wear comfortable shoes. There are not many places to sit either. Several our guide did a good job.

We cannot recommend this tour enough! It was the best experience and definitely the easiest way to experience The Louvre! Addie was amazing! If you want to skip the awful lines and get all of the best things in that the Louvre has to offer with so much wonderful history and information than you must take this tour!

Departure point
The meeting point is not at the entrance of the Louvre. Meet our team at the Arc du Carrousel. This huge arch features a horse-drawn chariot on top. With your back to the entrance of the Louvre Pyramid, you will spot it across the road, just before the entrance to the Tuileries Garden.Return details
