We booked the guided tour with of the Louvre museum through Headout. We missed the opportunity to book the tickets through the official museum website so we had to resort to Headout. At first we were a bit cautious about the site but we took the chance anyway. We got the instructions to meet at the meeting point, which we did. However, the person listed in the email was absent. We found a bunch of other tour members also very confused. But the people in charge of the tour came, very late. But after that everything went so smoothly. Out guide was Diana who was super nice and very knowledgeable about the museum and also very caring towards everyone. This guided tour helped us skip the long queues and security checks and helped us see the most excited exhibitions. Although the price is definitely several times more expensive than the official Louvre museum website, we thought it was totally worth it.

The visit to the Louvre was an exceptional experience, and booking a tour for a small group of up to 20 people turned out to be the ideal choice—even though it’s a bit more expensive, it’s well worth the money. The guided tour lasted 2 hours; we had the option to stay with the guide or explore on our own (a huge plus for those who want to “skip the line,” since the line was insanely long!!!). The intimate atmosphere allowed for much better interaction with the guide, who stood out for his impeccable historical knowledge, a clear and engaging presentation of the information, and excellent command of the English language. Plus, the way he wove humor into his explanations made the tour not only educational but also extremely enjoyable and relaxing. I highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover the Louvre in a professional yet fun way!!!

Our tour guide Diana was just brilliant; knowledgeable and friendly she brought all the art work to life. Despite it being so busy and hot, Diana managed to guide us to lots of incredible art and the two hours raced by. I'm so glad I booked a tour, I would have been hopelessly lost if I'd tried to navigate the museum by myself and would have missed everything! Thank you!

The biggest advantage was availability. During my visit (July), the Louvre required advance online reservations, and official tickets for the same day were no longer available. Headout was the only service where I was still able to get a same-day entry ticket. Without that, I would have missed the opportunity to visit the museum. The booking process was simple, and the ticket worked without any problems. I joined a small group of only four people. It was more expensive than a standard group tour, but it was absolutely worth it. Our guide, Enki, was very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. Because the group was so small, it almost felt like having a private guide, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and enjoy a more personal experience.

Headout's Louvre ticket saved me from missing the museum entirely since the Louvre announced early 4pm closures the day before I was to enter with my evening ticket due to excessive heat. The bonus was that our guide was delightful, and we learnd a lot and saw the key pieces while still being able to stay aftewards to wander around on our own without the group. An entirely satisfying afternoon!

Everything went perfectly. A huge thank you to our guide, Elena—she explained everything, showed us around, and guided us through the tour. My only suggestion is that you should offer a tour in Russian, since there are many people like us, but not everyone knows English. Thank you, everyone.

Explore Petit Palais at your own pace, then uncover Louvre masterpieces on a 2 to 3-hour small-group guided tour with timed entry.

Home to the City of Paris Museum of Fine Arts, Petit Palais occupies a Beaux-Arts pavilion created for the 1900 exposition and brings together artworks and decorative pieces across several periods.
