Return Details

Louvres, France

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.

Team Adam ROCKS

This was, hands down, the BEST tour we had during our trip to Paris. Adam was the most fantastic tour guide we had all week. He knew SO much. Had a terrific way of communicating and teaching. I wish I could have taken him with me all week long! I learned so much and he really took us places I'm not sure I would have gone without him.

Our Tour Guide Nancy was warm, welcoming, and lots of fun. She also gave us history on the Louvre as an introduction, which was perfect, guided us through highlights that brought us through the evolution of art and made the Lourve masterpieces accessible and enjoyable with her vast knowledge of art history. A fabulous experience.

Violet was our tour guide and we are so grateful she was. We learned more in our three hour tour about art than we have in our entire lifetime. Her information was interesting and she presented it in a way that kept our attention. Violet was friendly and funny. I highly recommend this tour and would take it all over again.

Left stranded and disappointed

Would love to have taken the tour, but we could not find them. Our ticket only stated that they would they would be there with a clearly identifiable sign. We arrived 15 minutes early and never found them, despite circling the entry plaza twice. It is a huge area. We looked inside as well, but the guide was not there. We had the information desk call them and were told to "run" outside and catch them under an arch. We ran outside, looked under every arch and still did not find them. We went back to the inside lobby and tried calling them one more, hoping we could meet up with them inside, but no one answered. We ended up having to purchase tickets and go without the tour. There was an information number provided, but we did not have cell service and could not call them ourselves. An email, with specific meeting instructions would have solved the problem.

Claire was the most amazing tour guide! Knowledgeable (history of the museum and so many of the highlights inside). Flexible (she gave us the time hang out longer at the places we loved). And extremely friendly. We had lots of good laughs. Which helped because there we so many stairs! 😄
