The tour ends in the lobby of the Louvre, just under the Pyramid

Your journey through some of the world’s great artistic treasures begins at the Arc du Carrousel, next to the Louvre entrance. Choose a morning, afternoon, or evening tour and meet your English-speaking guide. Enjoy fast access to the museum with your skip-the-line pass and begin your tour through the massive venue, home to over 35,000 works of art spanning more than 73,000 square meters of exhibition space. Your entrance pass also provides complimentary audio headsets.  

Wander the diverse exhibitions, starting with the Ancient Greek Parthenon, followed by the iconic 'Venus de Milo.' While in the ancient antiquities gallery, view the celebrated 'Winged Victory of Samothrace.' Then head to the Apollo Gallery to see the opulent royal crowns of Napoleon and King Louis XV. Get a taste of the French Revolution with Delacroix’s painting 'Liberty Leading the People,' and take in the Italian Renaissance as you gaze at the work of Michelangelo and Da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa.' (See full sample list below.)

With your small group (limited to 25 people), engage in lively chats with your guide and hear entertaining anecdotes, trivia, and history. Or if you've chosen the private tour, enjoy unlimited access to your guide's wealth of knowledge. Afterward, spend as much time as you like exploring the museum independently.

Please Note: Evening tours are limited to Wednesdays and Fridays at 6:30pm. For an extra unique experience, book an evening session and wind through the quiet corridors at night, when the crowds are gone and the artwork is basked in soft light. Enjoy the tour without all the bustle, and finish with great views of the Louvre’s glittery outside pyramid lit up after dusk.

This was a great way to experience the Louvre. Nancy was a wonderful guide. She’s very knowledgeable and she made the experience fun with her great sense of humor. There was no waiting and I felt I got out if this what I wanted. The Louvre is a massive museum so I would not have known where to start and would have likely spent an entire day and not gotten nearly the insight, knowledge and enjoyment without Nancy leading the way.

Lucia, our good was fantastic. Her love, passion and knowledge of the pieces was very apparent. She shared so much great information. The guided tour was soooo interesting. Lucia also repeatedly solicited our input as to what we'd like to see, while providing her recommendations, which was great. Ask for Lucia!

Horrible experience with the tour operator

We were late 7 minutes, the guide not only did not wait for us (i’d assume that’s normal, as perhaps others were on time), but they didn’t even try to contact us or to at least leave us the entrance tickets somewhere. We got no reachable phone number and the chat answered us 4 hours later. 1000% would not recommend to anyone.

Wonderful Louvre highlights tour

Anastasia was a wonderful guide and made the Louvre tour a nice experience. Thank you! It was interesting to hear about the history of some of the art pieces and although you could spend days at the Louvre, it was a pleasure to have a tour guide walk us through so we could experience the highlights without too much information and time. Three hours was perfect for one day. There’s so much more to do in Paris!

Poor customer service experience

We explored the museum on our own after the ticket company was less than helpful. We arrived early, entered security, and were in the "group meeting area" prior to our scheduled time of 2:30. We saw no one with signs and the voucher on our mobile device did not show a meeting spot. We asked for assistance and called the number on the ticket at 2:32. The person on the call said our tour had already left. Upon getting home, we read the information on our computer and found the meet up place was outside the Louvre. Therefore, the phone assistant could have had plenty of time to contact them and allow us to meet up since we had already been through security and were waiting inside at 2:32 on a phone call with her. That was after we had waited patiently and been to the Louvre assistance office.
