My husband booked this Louvre highlights tour for us in October, and it turned out to be one of the best parts of our trip! Carolina was our guide, and she was absolutely incredible—so knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating stories that brought each masterpiece to life. The tour flowed effortlessly, and thanks to her skip-the-line access, we spent our time admiring art instead of waiting around. Carolina made even the busiest parts of the museum feel intimate and personal. We left feeling inspired, educated, and grateful for her passion. Highly recommend this tour!

Tinu was very knowledgeable. We saw highlights of the Louvre in 3 hours. Tinu helped us navigate the crowd and facility.

Great way to see the Louvre first time! Mauro was excellent at leading us through the huge collection of the Louvre, including the Medieval Louvre, and some of his favorite pieces. The stories were great and pace through this huge museum/palace was just right. For someone who has never been, the museum would have been overwhelming if not for the tour. Thanks, Mauro!

We really enjoyed Laurent's expertise and passion for the Louvre. He did a great job of sharing interesting facts and moving us along. I always enjoy Viator tours, and this was my favorite.

I took a group of 14 people on the tour. We had a limited amount of free time to visit the museum and the 3 hour tour fit in perfectly. Our guide was great and she was very knowledgeable on the subject matter. Booking the tour with the customer service team was easy.

Guide was very good with history, rebuild and upgrades to Notre Dame. Skip the line good benefit and audio was good to hear in somewhat crowded environments. Tour a good length to see at a relaxed pace.

It was very easy to meet the guide and in a small group there was ease to navigate the museum as well as go at a pace well tuned for the whole.

My tickets were for the day of the robbery. Despite the chaos, I was able to rebook these tickets and went at a later date. A special exhibit was included as a bonus for the time delay. This worked because I had an extended and flexible schedule. The representative worked hard to make the changes happen. The collection is amazing. Massive crowds so get there early.

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
