Louvre: Highlights and hidden pearls in MINI groups/SKIP the line

Great short and efficient tour of the Louvre. With over 37,000 items on display, our guide (Dehli) did a very good job to focus on the key items to view, along with providing a history of the Louvre. We had plenty of time to roam on our own following the tour. We all agreed the time was well spent.

Paris: Louvre Museum Timed-Entrance Ticket with Audio Guide

It’s a little weird because they send the real ticket like one hour before your entry time. Maybe this is to prevent scalping? Anyway, I got it so I was happy. The audio part is just an mp3 file meant to walk you through it. I tried it but it’s too limited. The Louvre is changing all the time so you’re probably better off buying the audio at the Louvre but we could not because they were sold out. Still if you need last minute tickets, these guys came through for me.

Louvre Museum Guided Tour

The guide was very knowledgeable and and explained in interesting details many of the Louvre highlights. The crowds were huge and annoying- but this was beyond his control.

Mona Lisa First Viewing Louvre Small-Group Guided Tour

We LOVED this small-group guided tour with Clair! She was such a joy! It was definitely the right tour for our family. BOOK IT if you like to avoid the lines and crowd at the Louvre! Money well spent.

Learning and fun at Le Louvre

Highlights of the Louvre Private Tour

Even though we only spent 3 hours in Le Louvre, our guide Zacharie was so knowledgeable and fun that we felt we had a good understanding of the museum. I would highly recommend this tour.

Bucket list come true

Louvre Museum Entry & Cruise or Skip the Line to Mona Lisa Option

This was on my 86 year old mother's bucket list I helped fulfill for her. The Louvre staff at the Mona Lisa exhibit let her go to the front of the line for a once in a lifetime moment and have her picture taken 3 feet from the amazing painting. It made my family and I very emotional for her.

Fabulous tour. We wouldn't visit the Louvre without a guide.

Paris Louvre Museum Must See Skip the Line Private and non Private

Visiting the Louvre with a Viator guide was so wonderful. Our guide, David, vastly enhanced the experience with stories a much interesting information on the masterpieces that we visited. He also expedited our trip and our kids loved that! Highly recommend this tour...and be sure to secure your own Louvre entry tickets when booking this tour

Great tour! Good timing with kids!

Paris Louvre Museum Must See Skip the Line Private and non Private

This was great! Met our guide on time and he took us straight into the Louvre. He was knowledgeable and took us on a tour for 1 1/2 hours. We saw everything we wanted to see and the timing was great… not too long with kids. I would definitely recommend this!!!

Great family tour

Underrated Artworks at the Louvre

Most visitors flock to the Mona Lisa, but the Louvre is so much more than da Vinci's moody muse. Make time for Ingres' Grande Odalisque, an 18th-century nude; the cheeky 16th-century Gabrielle d’Estrées and One of Her Sisters; and a Goya classic—The Countess del Carpio. You can even explore the ruins of the fortress upon which the Louvre is built.
