Small group of 20. Guide was good to keep us together in large crowd of people in the museum. Hard to hear the operator due to noise. Full head sets are needed.

I made a mistake regarding the tour time. The tour company and guides were so helpful and kind to work with us and accommodated us. So very grateful!

Our guide, Gregory was very knowledgeable and lively. He made the tour very interesting. The Napoleonic compartments were very worthwhile.

very professional and very detailed explanation. It has covered a good range of exhibitions, and the structure of the tour is very good too. The guide is very responsible too!

Do the smaller group tour. It is so much easier to stay together and it is more intimate. Always do tours that include your tickets. We were there today and the lines for tickets was crazy.. over 3 hour wait! We walked right in with the tour. Our tour guide, Omar, was just the best! You can tell how much he loves his job. Very informative!!

Florence was incredibly knowledgeable and cherry picked key items, with good historical and cultural context provided, techniques involved - she also picked routes that helped us to avoid the bulk of crowds at that hour. Highly recommend the tour, especially if you have her as your guide. Additionally, she is very open to answering specific questions.

Very good tour for an overview of some key pieces including the Mona Lisa (as many other have said - the Mona Lisa is overrated!). Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and he did a good job highlighted some pieces. There is so much to see the Louvre-this tour was perfect- it was just enough. If you want a more in-depth tour you would need an entire day, this was perfect t for my husband and I and our 24-year-old daughter.

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
