The perfect introduction to world's most famous gallery. In a group of just 6 people is perfect and worth the extra spend as you can ask questions and feel personally connected to the experience. Our guide was knowledgable and fun to explore with. As a group tour, you have a separate entrance and while the queue for main security was over 2 hours long, we spent no time queing anywhere. Will absolutely reccomend to friends and family.

Bypass queues at the Louvre and witness its grandest pieces of art on this tour, curated for a small group of 6 to 10 people.

The guide was thoughtful, knowledgeable and inclusive of everyone. Our guide, a gentleman from Argentina, but I forget his name. He was stellar. Definitely one of the best tour guides I've had anywhere in the world.
