Our guide, Amber, was fantastic. We loved the small group and she was great with myself and my husband who walk slowly. She was excellent at explaining the history of the Louvre. And gave great insight on so much of the art work.

Our Louvre tour with Omar was excellent. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared fascinating insights that made the museum much more enjoyable. The tour was well organized and a great way to experience the Louvre. Highly recommended!

We loved our tour of the museum. Thyago was our guide and he was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and brought us to all of the “must sees” while providing valuable information. I highly recommend booking this tour.

Joe was a great guide to look through the Louvre It was very interesting and he was very informative and helpful. Spoke very good English
Brian_M, Jun 2026
Lili is a great guide! She knows the Louvre well and can explain the art and its history thoroughly and understandably. The tour got us to several highlights in a couple of hours, so we could continue exploring - the Louvre or Paris - on our own.

Our tour of the Louve was extremely enlightening. We booked the small group premium guided tour through Viator. Our tour guide Monu was prompt and exhibited great knowledge of the museum and the art that it contained. He was a master at working through the crowds and made certain that we saw the highlights of the museum. He was also happy to answer questions and was very helpful and patient with us older clients. I know for certain that I would not have received near the knowledge had we taken a large group tour or went on our own.

Marcel was full of history and they ‘why’ of certain pieces in the museum. This helped appreciate those historical pieces so much more. It was an educational amazing experience.
Richard_G, Jun 2026
Amazing and knowledgeable guide as we navigating the massive museum and all of it's treasures. We started right outside and we were in the Louvre in no time. We did get our steps in because of our guides ability to let us see as much as we can. Thank you for allowing us to accompany you.
Dale_W, Jun 2026
Incredible experience. The guided tour is the only way to go. It helps narrow the focus on such a massive exhibit and provide the details, story line and history of the art. Tour guide Alban R is very knowledgeable and add a little humor along the way.
Rob_W, Jun 2026
Our tour guide, Ty, was absolutely great!! He gave us many insights that really made it a fabulous experience!!! He was very knowledgeable and educated us along the way. He also maneuvered us thru the crowd and put us into ideal locations for great photos! I would highly recommend this tour!!! 5 Stars!!
Maureen_C, Jun 2026
Christophe made the visit easy! Knowledgeable of the art and history, he was the perfect guide. Very accommodating of his guests. Great way to see the most famous items in the Louve and learn about the building itself.

This wax a great tour. If you plan to visit the Louvre, this is the tour you need. Veronica was a great guide very knowledgeable and passionate.
Anastasia_I, May 2026
Guide had deep knowledge, and we covered a lot during our tour. Amazing experience, highly recommend
Georgia_H, May 2026
It is a fabulous way to see the Louvre for the first time! Malaika presented her tour in a chronological manner that made things easier to understand. We were able to see the “three ladies” and much more! Great tour, thank you!
Carole_S, May 2026
Lucineia (Lou) was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable about the artwork. Tour started a little late due to her having train issues but still got the full 2.5 hour tour. We were also allowed to stay in Louvre after the tour. Would recommend the semi-private tour as with only 6 people it much easier to get around to see artwork and talk with guide.
Olivia_C, May 2026
Small group is the way to go. We only had six of us in this groul. We were able to follow our guide very close and not worry about losing people. Louvre was super packed with tourists. Our guide was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed this tour very much. And, learnd a lot about this very impressive art museum.
Roger_S, May 2026
We were trying to fit as much of Paris as we could in 3 days so we couldn't dedicate as much time as the Louvre deserved. We decided that we needed a small group tour with a guide. This tour covered some of the most seen art pieces in the Louvre as well as centuries of history and art history in a few hours. We were so lucky to have Malaïka as our guide! I could go on for hours about how great she is and how knowledgeable she is, but you're just going to have to find out for yourself!
Janice_S, May 2026
We had a great tour with Sergio. He was very knowledgable and knew his way around the museum even through the large crowds. We learned a lot.
Karen_A, May 2026
Christophe was a fabulous guide. He was knowledgeable, patient, and told engaging stories with details about the history of the Louvre, the artwork & the artists. The time flew by quickly. Would highly recommend this tour and guide!
Dia_M, May 2026
Our guide Eduardo was exceptional. So insightful and interesting. Eduardo had deep knowledge and clearly loved to convey it. Despite the museum delayed opening we were able to cover the entire tour. Definitely recommended!
Marla_H, May 2026
Great way to maximize your time at the Louvre. Knowledgeable guide, showed us many parts of the museum.
Sandraa_W, May 2026
Fairly fast pace but we saw what we wanted since we only had a limited amount of time. Julian was so knowledgeable about the exhibits and art work. Plus we had access to his personal locker space for our coats and purses.
Amy_N, May 2026
Our semi-private tour of the Louvre was absolutely incredible and worth every penny! We explored so many amazing highlights, including Napoleon’s Apartments, masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci, and stunning ancient statues dating back hundreds of years BC. The museum can feel overwhelming, but our guide Florence made the entire experience seamless and enjoyable. She was extremely knowledgeable, engaging, and guided us through the Louvre with ease while sharing fascinating history and insights along the way. This was truly an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!
Masume_A, May 2026
My daughter had recommended a private tour and she was right. Having a private tour with few individuals was great. Lines were horrendous for non-tour visitors. We saw the masterpieces with history and connections to today. Marcel was very knowledgeable. I also liked that we had ear phones to hear him amid the other noise so we didn’t miss any explanation even if we lagged behind.
JeanneMarie_B, May 2026
Andreina was an excellent tour guide. The tour was very informative. We would recommend the Louvre tour.
Robert_L, May 2026
Joe is a remarkable guide! We really enjoyed the insights he gave us on the artists and the history behind the art. We didn’t feel rushed and appreciated having the small group. We also learned so much about the history of the museum! Thanks Joe!!
Cindy_E, May 2026
The Louvre is massive so having Daniel break it down and show us the highlights was great. We only had 6 in our group which also was a plus. Daniel is a wealth of knowledge and very personable and friendly. Would highly recommend him and this tour!
Catherine_V, May 2026
Too much time in the basement. Your guide did not read the room. Everyone wanted to see more art and less history of the museum building itself.
William_K, May 2026
Our guide stayed in touch prior to the meet up and got us through the security process quickly. She was very knowledgeable about all the exhibits and history.
Jeff_Y, May 2026
Wear comfortable walking shoes on this tour! There are numerous flights of steps.
We enjoyed our tour guide, Lilia G.; she was very knowledgeable.
