Hugo was an excellent guide! It was pretty crowded at the Louvre, but Hugo made the experience very seamless. I really enjoyed how he presented the various pieces of artwork. He demonstrated much knowledge and engaged with our small group of 5. It was also great that he gave us useful photo tips. He gave us ample time to enjoy the displays.

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.

Excellent Tour with Christophe

Tiffany_H, Jul 2026
I booked this tour with my daughter and we loved it! Our guide, Christophe, was knowledgeable, friendly and easy to understand. It was busy at the Louvre and he was able to direct us to areas to view the piece and be out of the way. His knowledge of the history and the art was impressive! He kept our group engaged the entire time which is saying something as the age ranges were 10 years old to about 65.

It was a wonderful...

David_S, Jul 2026
It was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Alban R was delightful. He was so knowledgeable of the artwork and the building. It was like a Master Class.

I don’t recommend

mohammad_H, Jul 2026
I had a very disappointing experience with this tour company. I arrived at the meeting point just three minutes late, but the tour had already left without me. I understand that schedules are important, but I expected at least a brief attempt to contact me or offer a reasonable solution. I paid €420 for this tour and received nothing in return. There was no flexibility, refund, or alternative arrangement, which was extremely frustrating and disappointing. For the price I paid, I expected much better customer service and a more reasonable approach. Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling like my money was wasted. I would not recommend this company based on how this situation was handled.

Paloma P was terrific

Pat_W, Jul 2026
Wonderful experience. Paloma was a knowledgeable and engaging guide. Top notch experience for us with a thoughtful guide.

Check out what Mona Lisa is looking at

Paul_D, Jul 2026
Educational, appropriate pace, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend having a guide for the tour as that way you see the things you want. Fabian was a fantastic guide.

Learned some art history at the Louvre

Brenda_P, Jul 2026
We were happier about the first tour we booked - 10:30 AM and presumably therefore less hot, and 100 euros less than the 2:30 PM replacement tour we had to book at the last minute. However, none of that was Isadora’s fault, and she was 100% fabulous. Very engaging and enthusiastic, obviously loves being a tour guide, shared lots of art history and political context which added interest and meaning to our tour, shared many interesting pictures, facts and sidebars via her tablet, and handled relevant questions and less relevant side conversations with an easy grace. We truly enjoyed our time with her. We also really enjoyed the small group format (6 members of the group, plus Isadora). It was easier to hear, it was easier to move around in the rather crowded Louvre Museum, and we all developed a quick and easy comradarie. All in all a good time, we would do it again (but maybe in the spring or fall!).

Wonderful Louvre Tour

Katherine_H, Jul 2026
Juan R. was so wonderful for our tour of the Louvre! I knew the museum could be overwhelming and booked a tour of the masterpieces. Juan, with his excellent Art History background, answered all of our questions about the artwork, the history of the Louvre, even it's not so great history of acquisitions. We walked 3 miles; Juan was very aware of how fatiguing the tour could be and checked in often, even with a middle schooler joining us. I'll be back and September and will be sure to book for another tour.

Perfect small group tour.

Wendy_D, Jul 2026
Anais was a fantastic tour guide. And the six person max made the very crowded Louvre very manageable. It was our daughter's first visit and this was the perfect way for them to see the highlights. Good communication before and the meet up was easy. Highly recommend.

Joanne_H, Jul 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I liked that it was a small group. She didn't overwhelm us with too much information, but informed us with important and interesting things only.

It was a great experience...

Davood_M, Jul 2026
It was a great experience with Manuel as our tour guide! Professional with reliable knowledge about all the sections!

Louvre Highlights

Jennifer_W, Jul 2026
The Louvre is a must-see in Paris, but can understandably seem overwhelming. When our guide, Daniel, told us that only 8% of the Louvre's collection is available for the public to see, we were blown away. And happier than ever that we had chosen a small, guided tour to maximize our time there. Daniel's expertise provided relevant facts and focused our attention in areas we might have missed. Highly recommend a tour unless your goal is to just wander for hours.

Great guide! Kids loved it!

Nick_W, Jul 2026
Great tour with an excellent guide. Pascale showed us everything we could fit into a 2.5 hour window and was great with the kids!

Marcel was very friendly...

Get More Out of Your Visit to the Louvre with a Guide

Clifton_C, Jul 2026
The Louver has an enormous amount of artifacts. It’s best to let a guide show you around. Your guide will have your tickets so skip the long lines.

A+ for Alban's tour of the Louvre

Jean_S, Jul 2026
The Louvre is a staple of Paris and for our family, it was a must-see. Having Alban as our guide was not only amazing in terms of seeing all of the most popular exhibits; it was also efficient considering the scale and size of the museum. You can tell that Alban cares about what he does through his friendly and happy-go-lucky personality and his extreme attention to detail. He is not boring at all, giving just the right amount of details and takes time to answer any questions. He also doesn't rush and knows how to read his audience, giving us options on what to see next. If you happen to book a tour with him, ENJOY!

Fantastic Louvre experience

Penny_R, Jul 2026
We had a fantastic guide. Veronica was delightful and engaging and graciously shared her knowledge about the Louvre with our semi-private group. I would highly recommend this tour and Veronica as your guide..

Great tour

JIm_W, Jul 2026
Great choice for an overview of the Louvre's masterpieces. Manu was a perfect guide! Small group, great guide, would strongly recommend it.

The Best Tour

william_b, Jul 2026
We got extremely lucky as we were the only people on the tour. It was a private tour with so much detail and we absolutely enjoyed it! Our guide is a school teacher and for four hours we were lucky enough to be his pupils. Just an outstanding tour!

highly recommend

Lauren_S, Jul 2026
Veronica, the tour guide, was phenomenal. She was so patient with our children and all their questions. Would highly recommend this guide to see all the highlights.

Great tour. Quick and easy. Great for the kids and very knowledgeable guide. He loves art which makes it more interesting

Agustina and Viator score big with us!

Todd_J, Jul 2026
We had a guide named Agustina that was just amazing. She clearly had studied art history but also had a passion for the works. It was such a great experience and we were happy we paid for the tour. Truly exceptional

Fantastic Experience

Stephanie_H, Jul 2026
Our guide Lou was spectacular! She was so knowledgeable and helped connect us to the history of not only the art but the Louvre itself. Her passion about the Louvre shines through and you will walk away with such an enriching experience. Highly recommend!

NYC meets the Louvre

Johanna_J, Jul 2026
The tour was fantastic! Emily was fabulous, very knowledgeable and wonderful with our girls. We navigated the museum with ease despite large crowds.

Louvre Semi Private Guided Tour

Jeff_M, Jul 2026
The Louvre is massive, we did a semi Private tour and our tour guide Daniel was awesome, very knowledgeable and informative. If planning on seeing the Louvre, I would highly recommend a guided tour, and allowing the full day to see it.

Exceptional Tour!

Annette_R, Jul 2026
Our tour guide Florian was amazing! He explained so much history in an engaging way! We loved the way he was able to navigate the Louvre so quickly yet thoroughly through a very busy time at the museum….5 stars!!

Fantastic tour and guide, would definitely book again!

Melanie_T, Jul 2026
My family and I loved this tour! Fabian was an excellent guide and made this tour interesting and fun for my teenage daughters. He was very knowledgeable!
