Perfect introduction to a completely overwhelming museum. The Friday late afternoon/evening timing seems to be perfect - some crowds, but nothing that was too much, even in the Mona Lisa room. And our guide Nancy B. was absolute delight. She even inspired my 15-yo daughter to want to stick around after the ~2.5 hr guided tour ended until the Louvre closed, to explore more.

Outstanding. Great communication prior to the tour and she got us into the Louvre quickly. Our guide asked us what we were most interested in seeing versus just doing the standard stuff. She was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Although it was one of the hottest days in recent Parisian history, she ensured we were ok throughout the tour. We had a very nice time.

Perfect Louvre tour with our guide Z!

Melissa_L, Aug 2026
Thank goodness we booked this tour! The evening time slot (5PM), semi-private group, and 2.5 hours spent in the Louvre was perfect. Our guide (goes by Z) was extremely knowledgeable, entertaining, friendly and efficient. My husband and 13yo son loved it, too. We learned so much and all agreed we may not have enjoyed the museum if we’d gone on our own because it’s so busy and overwhelming. 5 stars for this tour and our guide!

Good overview and highlights

Good overview and highlights. Our was guide extremely friendly. I wish there was more history and more in-depth explanations of the artwork. That said I understand that the guide has to balance the needs and wants of the entire group.

Very busy but not to be missed.

Augustine was a great guide, she had enthusiasm and a great range of knowledge. She engaged all ages of people. Her knowledge and happy attitude made the tour much more manageable for the children, she shared great insights and history with us. We saw a good amount of art in the two and a half hour tour.

Louvre Highlights

Pamela_T, Aug 2026
Our guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about all things Louvre! He lead us to most main attractions and explained other attractions along the way! There was a lot packed in with the small amount of time—the Louvre is huge! We were able to stay afterwards to visit areas we didn’t have time to explore during the tour. Fantastic tour.

Great Tour

Barry_R, Aug 2026
Great tour, Knowledgeable guide, very informative, so much to see, very good explanation of the sculptures and the paintings

Phenomenal

Josef made this tour unforgettable. He was extremely knowledgeable and brought the art to life! He was so friendly and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend this tour.

Terrific tour of the highlights

Sameer_R, Aug 2026
Terrific way to see the highlights at the Louvre without being overwhelmed. Our tour guide Monika was super knowledgeable and very efficient. Highly recommend.

10/10 would recommend

Courtney_O, Aug 2026
Pierre was fantastic. He offered helpful insight throughout the entire tour. Also made sure we knew where stops and rest stops were.

Exceptional

Seema_R, Aug 2026
Our guide at the Louvre was excellent. I’m sorry I’ve forgotten her name, but she was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything clearly and patiently throughout the visit. This was a small group tour of just six people, which made the whole experience feel highly personalized — she had time to really engage with each of us and answer every question in depth. She went into wonderful detail about every painting we saw, sharing context and stories that brought each piece to life rather than just rushing past. We honestly didn’t expect visiting the Louvre to be as enjoyable and engaging as it was, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. Highly recommend requesting her if possible, especially for a small-group tour like this one.

FL family at the Louvre

Frieda_T, Aug 2026
Wonderful experience. Our guide Fabien LB was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. He made the Louvre come alive with history, facts and unique conversations.

Wonderful

Jamie_W, Aug 2026
Fabian was an amazing guide. He showed us the highlights and included interesting history. Also gave great directions on how to navigate the rest of the museum. Would book again!

Do this !!

griselda_R, Aug 2026
Great way to see the masterpieces. Marcel was excellent! So smart and helped us really see and understand the art in a beautiful way. If we had more time had suggestions on what to see next. After the tour ticket is good if you want to spend more time. What a treat.

Mari_D, Aug 2026
anais was excellent!! she really took her time and taught us a lot about the art we were seeing. would recommend!

Knowledgeable and accommodating

Joanna_W, Aug 2026
Our guided tour of the Louvre was one of the highlights of our time in Paris! The museum is absolutely incredible and can be overwhelming because there is so much to see, so having a guide made a huge difference. We were able to see the major masterpieces, including the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Winged Victory, and so many beautiful sculptures, paintings, and historic rooms. Our guide helped bring the artwork and history to life and made it much easier to navigate such a massive museum. I especially appreciated learning the stories behind what we were seeing instead of simply walking from room to room.

The best part of our trip to Paris

Jigesh_S, Aug 2026
If I could rate this 10 stars I would. This ended up being the best part of our trip. Our girls who are age 10 are not into art and were not excited about spending a few hours at the Louvre, however, our guide was so superb that they did not want to leave and end the tour. Our guide was Paloma, she made the tour phenomenal. She made it fun and really easy to learn and interesting, even including kids and older adults. Would 100% recommend this if you’re going to the museum with a family

Excellent!!!

Carlos_M, Aug 2026
Excellent service. They were knowledgeable about all the museum's most important artworks; I recommend them 100%.

We had the best tour...

Ana_O, Aug 2026
We had the best tour guide, Sunday, who gave us a lot of great interesting facts and helped us navigate through, despite the large crowds. Getting a small group tour is the way to go!

Amazing Tour and Guide!

Debbie_A, Aug 2026
Josef was an amazing guide! Our semi-private tour consisted of two families and six people in total. Josef’s deep love of art and history was apparent and infectious! He asked us which areas of history we wanted to focus on the most, and began the tour from there. We ended at the Monna Lisa. As we were the final tour of the day, we actually ran over our time and just enjoyed each other’s company while looking at great art. I cannot recommend this tour, and Josef in particular, highly enough!

Gracias!

Jorge_G, Aug 2026
Cristiana was awesome. She booked the tour in Spanish and there were only 2 spots left, so we got lucky. She was very knowledgeable, super nice, great energy and answered all the questions that we had. I liked that she went through the actually history of the louvre and even though I had gone before, I learnt a lot with her. Sure was also very excited about all the little details and she was able to include everyone in our group. Gracias Cristina, la pasamos super bien y espero que tengas unas excelentes vacaciones!

Short walk to bus. ...

Garth_S, Aug 2026
Short walk to bus. Comfortable bus ride to Versailes with guide giving info during the drive. You meet up with a tour guide once you arrive at Versailles. And then you bypass the main line and are able to get right into the palace. Well organized and smooth.
