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.

The tour was very good and the fact that you could see the exhibits with a moderate number of people around was even better. Our guide, Natalia, was skillfull and knowledgeable but the only downward was the bad “signal” of the audio that we were given, so we couldn’t hear very clear the guide; especially if you were a few feet away from the group

Adi is hands down the best tour guide I’ve ever had. Mind blown with her knowledge, delivery, and friendliness. There was an extremely rude Louvre employee who interfered with our tour by yelling at us and Adi handled it extremely gracefully and kept her composure. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Absolute best!

The best way to see the most noted pieces. The Louvre is huge and easy to get lost in. It is best to have a guide to get you to the top must-see works. After the guided tour you can stay as long as you’d like to continue exploring on your own. Don’t waste time standing in line to buy tickets or trying to find your own way.

Our guide was very knowledgeable but spent way too much time focusing on each art treasure. It was much more like an Art Appreciation class than a tour. This was amplified by the fact that there were shoulder-to-shoulder crowds. Because of this, many of the group strayed away to see more artifacts on their own.

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.

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.
