Very knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. Loved how easy the process was and skipped the (very long) queue.

A great experience - fantastic way to learn about some of the key treasures of the Louvre. Anna was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Using earphones for the tour is a good idea, but unfortunately the quality of the ones given out was awful and they only went in one ear. If I had known, I would have brought my own audio jack headphones. It was fine in the end, but it did take a lot of concentration to hear.

Great guide , very knowledgeable., really helped us understand the art work. Anais covered all of the highlights and included information you would not have gotten otherwise.

It was worth every penny!! Anna was amazing!! Doing the tour was the best way to see all the highlights of the Louvre. She gave so much important information.

The Louvre is gigantic and there is so much to explore. This tour made all the difference in our experience. Our guide, Anais, was very knowledgeable and did a wonderful job keeping 20+ people organized. Wear comfortable shoes and eat something before you go. The tour lasted three hours. It is worth it!

Maximus was our leader and very informative. Without his as our guide, we would have not gotten as much knowledge and history during our visit. Well worth the price

The tour is very dependent on your tour guide and their preferences for the art displayed. Our guide spent 30 minutes describing the Arc de Carousel . Then another 30 minutes to go through security and bathrooms. We saw very little art and listened to very long stories at the few pieces of art we saw. Bit worth the money.

Excellent tour. Highly recommend it. Our tour guide Florence was very knowledgeable. Skip the line access was great and much needed.

The museum was packed and our guide, Addie, did her best to herd us around all the highlights of the Louvre. But 26 is a lot of cats to herd and people had a tendency to wander off and they had to be reigned in which resulted in some dead time waiting for them to be found. I would recommend a smaller group if you are going to the Louvre.

Departure point
The meeting point is not at the entrance of the Louvre. Meet our team at the Arc de Triomphe 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
