So worth booking a tour. You can either wander around aimlessly or learn so much from your guide. Julia took us around for 2.5 hrs and we saw all the key, memorable pieces and absorbed years of history about the building. She has amazing knowledge clearly based on a love of art and art history. What a star!

The meeting point was clear and easy to identify. We were given receivers to wear around our necks and the guide wore a microphone so we were able to hear everything. We didnt have to stand in the line! The guide was clear, soft spoken and brilliant. She made everything intetesting and had a great sense of humor wound into her stories! Well done!

Lively Tour of the Louvre
Linda_P, Nov 2025
Maria was our guide and she was fabulous! She took us through the Louvre to visit a variety of important works and explained the history surrounding the piece, its significance and all about the artist of each with great enthusiasm and animation! She was very engaged with our group and keep our interest the entire tour of 2.5 hours. We were very happy with this tour.
The guide did her best...
Nadia_C, Nov 2025
The guide did her best but it was difficult to follow her due to her hasty speach and obmit of important information
So glad we had a knowledgeable guide
john_g, Nov 2025
We are so glad we had such a knowledgeable guide to take us into the Louvre. She made the difference. Unfortunately I don't remember her name.
Not good
STEVEN_H, Nov 2025
We did see a lot and the guide was knowledgeable. However the guide spoke way too fast and soft with a heavy French accent. The headsets provided to hear the guide were of very poor quality making it impossible to hear and understand the guide. I took off the headset and just looked around on my own. Not worth the money
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re glad you enjoyed the sights and found the guide knowledgeable, but we’re so sorry to hear that it was difficult to follow along due to the sound quality and accent. We completely understand how disappointing that must have been - you deserve to enjoy the full tour experience. We’ll be checking our headset equipment and following up with the team to make sure communication is clearer for future guests. We really appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider joining us again so we can provide the experience you expected.
The way to go!
Mary_H, Nov 2025
Our guide was not only knowledgeable but funny! It's a great way to see the classics and hear some wonderful fun facts as well.
Excellent tour with a exceptional tour guide
Mark_D, Nov 2025

Michael_M, Nov 2025
Joanna our guide was fantastic, she brought us to places in the Louvre few get to go. She was knowledgeable,thoughtful, and entertaining. I highly recommend the small group tour.
Amazing time
Nodia_R, Nov 2025
Nadia was amazing! She was sooo knowledgeable and gave us some freedom to take pictures as she taught. The background stories behind paintings and sculptures were eye opening! I love the focus on the three ladies of the Louvre and celebrating the beauty and strength of women! It was amazing and she was lovely!!’
Only Way to See the Louvre In an Afternoon
Janet_I, Nov 2025
This was a great experience and Sid was outstanding - very knowledgeable, easy to understand and quite a character making the experience completely enjoyable. We also had voice boxes in spite of being a small group which was helpful beause of the crowds. A small group is a must. Sid was at the meet site early and was easy to find. We walked right in to the museum and had access to a dedicated locker and also bathroom. This was a nice start. Then the tour started and Sid gave a history of the Louvre and was able to pick out the most interesting things to see. He was able to navigate us very smoothly throughout the museum and all the people. You could spend days at this museum so it is definitely worth having someone guide you to some of the high points and give you all their history in a logical fashion. We ended with the Mona Lisa of course. I would highly recommend this tour and especially with Sid.
Excellent
Dave_H, Nov 2025
Very knowledgeable guide. Took us to the main displays and explained the history of each. Very interesting to learn everything especially when without the guide I would have no idea what I was looking at.
Carolina was the best!!...
Alyssa_B, Nov 2025
Carolina was the best!! We had her for two tours while on our honeymoon to Paris, and she was very knowledgeable and so great!
Meeting place is perfect...
Josephine_Z, Oct 2025
Meeting place is perfect and easy to find! Dimitri, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the Louvre and shared interesting insights apart from taking us around the museum. Super lucky to be in a small group of 5!! This made it more personal, interactive and enjoyable. If you don’t want to waste time getting lost and just concentrate on the masterpieces, you won’t go wrong booking this tour! Then after the 2.5-3hours, go on your own to explore further.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Hi Josephine, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful experience! We are delighted to hear that you found the meeting place easy to locate and that Dimitri provided you with a knowledgeable, insightful, and enjoyable tour of the Louvre. It sounds like the small group size truly enhanced your visit, making it personal and interactive. It is fantastic to know that the tour helped you focus on the masterpieces without getting lost. We love that you felt prepared to explore the museum further on your own afterwards! We truly appreciate your recommendation.

Our tour with John was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and friendly and guided us through museum with ease. Highly recommend this small group tour. It would be much more difficult to do with a large group.

Susan_V, Oct 2025
If it’s your first time at the Louvre, SPRING FOR A GUIDED TOUR!! You will NOT regret it! Too big, etc etc. Unless you’re very knowledgeable about art and have specific goals in mind, let someone else do the heavy lifting.
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you, Susan! We couldn’t agree more - a guided tour truly brings the Louvre to life. We’re delighted you had such a positive experience with Avi, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. We hope you’ll join us again for more art and history in Paris!
