Cursory tour which...

Grace_B, Dec 2025
Cursory tour which included Louvre highlights but not in depth information. Although pleasant, not worth the cost.

Highly recommend Ivan

PAULA_P, Oct 2025
Our tour with Ivan was amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the Louvre. Highly recommend. And I will request him for our next tour.

Service not provided

Kristen_L, Oct 2025
I never got a response from this vendor and didn’t get the tour. They texted me to change time from 10 am to 2 pm. I told them that new time would not work and I didn’t get rescheduled or responded to

Worth it

Excellent tour guide with...

Amber_F, Jun 2025
Excellent tour guide with Ivan. He was so knowledgeable and took us to key exhibits. After the tour, there was plenty of opportunity to explore on our own and he pointed us the direction of what we wanted to see.

Must be in the front row!

VIVIAN_M, Apr 2025
I love a skip the line pass! Lines for the Louvre are long and life is short. I admit that once we got inside we went on our own way as we knew what we wanted to see in the exhibit. We got the audio guide which allowed us to go at our own pace. The guide was very chill about it!

Our tour guide was...

Alison_R, Mar 2025
Our tour guide was outstanding. He made the Louvre manageable and magical! I would definitely recommend this experience.

History and knowledge with enthusiasm

Lisa_R, Nov 2024
Our tour guide was amazing. His enthusiasm and knowledge about the history and art made this trip so much more exciting than we anticipated. 5* from start to finish.

The Louvre

Aileen_V, Nov 2024
Our tour guide did not explain important pieces well. He led us to different areas and gave us time in each section, but was not able to explain the history well. He also had bad body odor and his jeans looked very wrinkled. Only benefit of this tour was the skip the line part.

Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and supportive to everyone in our group

Jill_R, Sep 2024
Our guide was very knowledgeable and adapted to conditions which were out of her control. Our group was of 3 separate couple one of which included a person in a wheelchair. Unfortunately all the lifts in the first section of our tour were not working. Our guide did her best to find a way to support everyone and ended up extending the time of our tour due to delays in organising a route for the person in the wheelchair. Our guide ended up missing out on her lunch break before taking the next group to look after us.

Art made fun.

Alan_S, Sep 2024
Ivan was delightful. Very engaging and knowledgeable. Good tour and only “lines” were short ones for security. We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Louvre! AAA+++ rating.

Fantastic experience with oir guide, Ivan

TrishMark_B, Sep 2024
Our guide, Ivan, was fantastic. He educated us not only on the art, but the history behind the art. He is extremely knowledgeable and knows the Louvre very well. I would request only him if we went again. My fiance told Ivan at the end of the tour that because of Ivan, he had a whole new understanding and appreciation of art. I have traveled the world and have never met someone as passionate about his work as Ivan. Please acknowledge his passion and skills for us!

Fantastic

Harriet_N, Aug 2024
Seeing the Mona Lisa and all of the greek sculptures. Our guide was excellent. She provided much detail of the paintings and sculptures.

Not a tour aimed at kids or families.

Dan_G, Aug 2024
I was very disappointed in the tour we were provided. While our guide was interesting and knowledgeable, the tour was supposed to be family-friendly and allow our child to "take part in games and learning exercises". Nothing like that happened. Our guide made no attempt to engage our son any more than she did any of the adults on the tour. We chose this tour because of the promise of it being family focused and this was not the case. My husband and I were interested in our guide's descriptions, but our son was bored through most of the tour. It was up to us to keep him engaged. If you have kids, you'd be better served using another company.

THANK YOU HABEEB!!!

Bethany_P, Aug 2024
I am simply hoping this review reaches our host, Habeeb! We had a wonderful tour with him. The meeting place was easy, they provided the headphones necessary to hear him throughout, and he was very knowledgeable with the main areas of the Louvre we had hoped to see. Unexpectedly, my 7 year old niece actually had a medical issue towards the end of the tour which required us waiting in the museum for EMS. Habeeb went above and beyond. He closed out the tour with the rest of the group and then insisted on staying with us until the hospital. He bought my niece juice and was unbelievably supportive to our family. He refused any money from my sister so I just hope that this review reaches him and his company so that he can be thanked in any way possible. THANK YOU!!!

Book a different tour

Kristine_A, Jul 2024
The only benefit of this tour was that we had someone who knew where to go which was helpful with all the increased security measures in preparation for the Olympics. Otherwise this was incredibly disappointing. We paid extra to skip the line, which I can’t think of a single line we actually skipped and it was supposed to be a 2 hour tour, but we spent over an hour just standing outside the Louvre waiting for other tour guests who were late. The Louvre itself was incredible, but the guide was hard to hear and the tour was only one hour once we finally got inside. There were other tour groups with ear pieces to hear the guide, which would have been much better. It was upsetting to pay extra to save time and to waste over half of the time just standing outside for no reason. I’d recommend a tour, just not this one. Not a good experience.

Great Guide _ But a long wait.

Lawrence_M, Jul 2024
First I want say our Guide was fantastic. She salvage a bad experience. We waited over an hour in line to enter the museum. That was not expected with anticipated fast pass. Not a good situation

Great way to see highlights.

Lisa_C, Jul 2024
Great directions to meeting point and guide was there early. Very useful way to see the highlights and then go back and meander at our leisure.

Nice Tour. My children...

Vita_M, Jul 2024
Nice Tour. My children were older and the tour guide adapted the presentation for the age group of the tour. Which were mostly adults.

Great guide at the Louvre

Alexis_I, Jul 2024
I asked for a Spanish speaking guide because of my 83 year old mother. Our guide's name was Jorge Camacho. He was VERY GOOD. Gave us great explanations about the works of art at the museum. He was quite knowledgeable and kept things alive for my mom. He knew all the shortcuts for persons who need assistance in getting around. An excellent experience.

IVAN, the tour guide was...

Zeus_K, Jul 2024
IVAN, the tour guide was excellent, he made the experience much better the only issue was we needed to contact the tour company and they did not respond by phone call or WhatsApp. In fact, they still have no responded

Perfect

Sophia_N, Jun 2024
Skip the line and beautiful tour information. Perfect. Love the storytelling and you save min 2 hours with skip the line

Amazing

Paryss_T, May 2024
Amazing tour, gave great insight into louvre history and answered all questions as best could. Excellent effort to ensure we were happy

Horrible experience

855g99q6g5, May 2024
The tour guide never showed. We called, we texted, we emailed - when we finally were able to get a representative on the phone, Viator had to call the local tour guide that NEVER followed up. I still do not have an answer nor a refund nor a call back from Viator. $250 and disappointed kids. We had to wait on a new line to buy tickets and pay all over again

Great guide, no waiting

Kirsten_L, May 2024
Frederic was a Great Guide! He totally adapted the topics to the kids, made it interesting for them. The skip the line was top, no waiting time at all!

Don't miss the Louvre!!

Lorraine_V, May 2024
This museum has been on my bucket list for a very long time. I loved the experience. It did not disappoint in anyway. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. I totally enjoyed!

Too big and too many people to make the visit memorable for the art

James_B, May 2024
It is wonderful to see these great works of art in person. But candidly, the number of fellow travelers makes the experience overwhelming. You battle people every step of the way and there are thousands of steps as there are 18 km of galleries. The best way to see the Louvre is using an on-line tour where you can get commentary and up close views of all the museum has to offer.

The tour guide Ivan was...

Wayne_A, Apr 2024
The tour guide Ivan was very professional and knowledgeable about the arts. Also, it was wonderful experience to be close up to the famous Mona Lisa

Buy your ticket online, you don’t need a tour guide

Omprasad_N, Apr 2024
We paid $389 for two adults and two kids, it was not worth it. The guides gave us headphones that were nit working, so couldn’t hear much.
