Florence was a wonder guide that had a lot of knowledge about the history of the museum, the paintings and the Louvre overall. She really helped me connect with the art and the interpretations that could be taken as well as the intentions of the artist. What a great experience! I will say, there is a lot of walking so of course be prepared as with any tour. I say this as there were people that were struggling during the tour I was on and Florence had to stop and remind others (very courteously) that can feel free to leave the tour and the museum or continue at their own. Loved seeing the Louvre!

The tour with Claire was terrific. She was very animated in her descriptions of the pieces we viewed. She allowed ample time to see the works before moving on. We appreciated her positive attitude and her story telling. The location was easy to find. There should be a warning about how many stairs need to be traversed for people with mobility issues to be aware. Overall a great tour and we were happy we took it.

On a busy day at The Louvre, this was a must do. Skip the line entry (only wait was security check approx. 5mins at group entry). There were also dedicated group tour toilets (away from general public). The highlights were mesmerising and Abed’s knowledge exceptional, especially for art and sculpture. Napoleon’s Apartments are a must see for anyone who cannot visit Palace of Versailles. Highly recommended.

I was really looking forward to my first visit to The Louvre, and my guided tour did not disappoint. It exceeded my expectations, thanks to our amazing guide Florence. Her knowledge is amazing and she made the whole tour so very interesting. I also noted that Florence was very kind and considerate to several in our group with mobility issues, especially towards the end of the three hours.

Our guide Annais was great, had a lot of knowledge about the Louvre and the art. The tour was very interesting so that 3 hours passed very quickly. We didn't have to wait to get in, it was all well organized. I just didn't like that we had to come at 9:30 and were then waiting outside in the cold until 10:00 when the guide arrived and the tour started.

Our tour guide made our experience! Claire was attentive to each of us, answered questions, is very knowledgeable about the history of the most popular works she knew we’d want to see. She was efficient in helping us by pass the line and sharing hidden restrooms with us! She is pleasant and absolutely loved her English accent.

Addie was outstanding. If we could give her 10 stars, we would. She was funny, extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. We learned so much from her and felt we came away with so much more from the experience with her than we would have on our own or with anyone else. Give that girl a raise!

Anaïs was an incredibly knowledgeable and interesting guide. La Louvre is La Louvre. It will always be amazing, but having a great guide helped cut through the 38,000 pieces of art to see the highlights in a short time. Would absolutely recommend Anaïs for all first-timers.

Absolutely amazing tour! The experience was well curated from greeting to tour guide. We appreciated having an actual skip the line where we were brought in a separate entrance. Our tour guide, Natalia, was exceptional in her knowledge of mythology and French art history.

Florence was very knowledgeable. Taking her time to explain in detail and answer any questions. The tour started quiet but soon got very overcrowded with other people and groups and sometimes overwhelming making it impossible to view or take pictures.

Details

Visit the Louvre's must-see attractions instead of waiting in the museum's notoriously long lines. Your knowledgeable guide will reveal intricacies about the works of art on display that most visitors are unaware of. Explore the "Winged Victory of Samothrace", the "Mona Lisa," and the "Venus de Milo."

The tour also includes highlights from the French Romantic era, Greek and Roman artifacts like the 4,000-year-old "Great Sphinx of Tanis," works by Da Vinci and Raphael, and more. The experience is enhanced further by works of art like Antonio Canova's "Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss" and Michelangelo's "Dying Slave".

Before Louis XIV moved the court to Versailles, you can see the Louvre's past as the Royal Palace in the Apollo Gallery. The Napoleon Apartments also maintain the Second Empire's equally opulent decor. You are free to continue exploring the Louvre at your own pace after the tour.
