Additional Information

There are many ways to experience the famous Louvre. Choose your favorite!

You can explore at your own pace with a timed-entry ticket after taking a guided walking tour around the Louvre. On this tour, you’ll learn what the Louvre was before it was the world’s largest art museum, and you’ll see sights like the Tuileries Gardens, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, the Cour Carrée, and more. It’s a great intro to your self-guided visit inside the museum.

If you prefer to go with a guide, opt for our guided tour inside the Louvre. We also offer a semi-private tour option with no more than six guests, so you get even more dedicated time with your guide, who can customize the tour to your interests. Your expert guide will make sure you not only see the best works — the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, the Crown Jewels, and more — they’ll share the history and stories behind the artwork to enrich your experience and make your visit truly memorable.

  • Elevators and escalators are periodically being repaired and may be closed for service and therefore can be unpredictable.

A fabulous start to our day at The Louvre - We had the wonderful Denise guiding us today - and she was so lovely with my two girls (10 and 7). Although I’m sure these tours are more adult orientated she answered all there questions about all things Louvre and Paris and also gave us adults a wonderful run through of the history of the Louvre and some great tips before entering the museum! Would highly recommend x

Canceled without notice - Tour canceled on day off. I contacted them and they said they notified me beforehand which was a lie. We met other couples st the meet site and the same happened to them. No notification. Very disappointed and probably won’t use Trip Advisor again
