The tour was very professional. Bernadette was a knowledgeable tour guide whose extensive experience was obvious. She had a wealth of knowledge and answered every question with genuine interest and joy. She also expressed her fun, delight, and amazement at the artists' work. She enthusiastically showed us the highlights and gave us tips for the rest of our time in the Louvre. All in all, a super tour!!!

We were only 4 people. The guide was great. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to take everything in. We didn't miss out on the highlights of the Louvre (actually, all the art is a highlight in itself). It is definitely worth a visit! If you are German and don't understand or speak English or French, you should definitely book the tour in German. N. Dambor

Excellent small group guided tour of Louvre. Our guide was very informative and he shared the stories and possible meanings behind the works of art, and their place in history. He got us to the sculptures and paintings we wanted to see, and to many excellent pieces that we weren't familiar with. All while ensuring there was time to pause and reflect. Highly recommended.

So grateful I booked this tour. Guide was professional and her knowledge of the Louvre was evident. Is a great tour if you have a short amount of time or use it to get your bearings while seeing the highlights then move on and explore at your own pace after the tour. Highly recommend

The guided tour and the guide's commentary—on my own, I wouldn't have known where to go. The guide was pleasant and gave us plenty of details about the history of the artworks. Vladimir is very professional, and his commentary is insightful and informative.

Thank you so much to Benedicte and for the great tour. Everything was very professional, yet considerate and absolutely attentive to the participants. We were a group of 4 and she informed us perfectly and picked us up right on time. My highest compliments 🥰

Enter the Louvre at your booked time and explore its galleries with a guide, so you can focus on the art instead of navigating the museum yourself.

Spend around 1.5 to 3 hours exploring the collections, from major highlights to lesser-known works, while your guide adjusts what you see as you explore.

Follow your guide through selected galleries and hear the stories behind the artworks, with headsets provided when needed so you can clearly follow the commentary.

Choose from a small-group tour for up to 20 guests, a semi-private tour for 6 to 10 guests, or a private tour for up to 6 guests.

Choose your preferred tour language from English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, or German for a more comfortable guided experience.
