We had the best your guideAdam. The experience was amazing. Adam was exceptionally knowledgeable, entertaining, and kept the entire group engaged throughout the tour. We learned so many fascinating things about the history of the Louvre, its art/artists, and historical figures. I recommend taking this guided tour to immerse yourself in the history and really appreciate all the Louvre has to offer.

Be prepared for huge crowds everywhere you go in the Louvre. It took us 45 minutes to get in to the museum and through security. I cannot image what it would be like to visit in July. 9 million visitors a year

FAQs

I use a wheelchair. Can I take this tour?
Unfortunately, this tour is not wheelchair accessible. The tour route may include a lot of walking, stairs, and uneven surfaces. A good level of mobility is required and wearing comfortable shoes is recommended. However, we are committed to providing an enjoyable experience for all guests. Please contact our Guest Experience Team to discuss arranging a private tour that meets your accessibility needs.
Do I need to bring an ID with me on this tour?
Yes! Please ensure that all members of your party, including children, have a valid ID on them on the day of the visit.
Can you guarantee that I will see every room in the Louvre listed here?
We can't guarantee it, but it's very likely. As with all museums, particular galleries of the Louvre may be closed without prior notice, or pieces may be removed for restoration or loan. In this case, your guide will make an appropriate substitution. However, as the pieces and the rooms we visit on our tour are the most important in the museum, these are the ones least likely to close or leave on loan.
What can I bring inside the Louvre Museums?
Please note that the Louvre will not allow large items inside the museum, so you should bring only a small daypack or handbag. More specifically, only bags smaller than 21.5 in x 13.5 in x 7.5 in (55 cm x 35 cm x 20) cm are permitted. Suitcases and large bags must be left outside. Closed, clear bottles of water are allowed inside the Louvre however food is forbidden inside the site. Please be advised that the use of selfie sticks and flash photography is not allowed inside the Louvre. Additional security checks may cause longer waits at unavoidable security lines at times.
