The guide was very nice and knowledgeable. She was patient with our questions and understood many languages. She was precises in explaining to me the different wings of the museum and how to access them. The only thing I did not like was that we were supposed to download our actual tickets on the day of the tour. No one in the group had done this and we spent at least 15 minutes with her helping individuals access the email and download the tickets. It would have been better to issue the tickets at the same time you buy them.

Interesting history about the Louvre itself that i didn't know. Queue jump was so easy and my mum walks with a walking stick and the guide Sofia was so caring. When you get inside Sofia was so helpful before we went on our own way the perfect mix of help and not too curated - would definitely do again! Note the meeting place is outside a souvenir shop across the road from the Louvre

We were given a great tour of the Louvre, complete with some fascinating facts about the museum. The guide was very friendly, and his English was easy to understand. That’s why I’m giving it a good rating.

Your dedicated host purchases your Louvre tickets in advance and escorts you directly to the priority access point, so you can skip the ticket queues and avoid the confusion at the entrance.

Upon arrival, your host assists with entry formalities and gives you a brief introductory orientation inside the museum to help you get your bearings,

Then, follow your host for a short highlights tour, where they guide you to key works, especially the Mona Lisa, and share essential context before you continue on your own, with smart tips to help you find the masterpieces faster.

Enhance your visit with a relaxing 1–1.5 hour Seine River cruise and admire Paris’s most iconic landmarks from the water, including the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame, and Musée d'Orsay.

Hosted introduction to the museum and its highlights
