Not worth the money
This tour was very disappointing. The guide didn't know much about the Egyptian artifacts and did not have a background in Egyptology. I asked some very basic questions – such as what material an artifact was made out of, or how archaeologists think it was made – and the guide didn't have an answer. When we finished walking through the first floor, the guide asked if we wanted to see Mesopotamia or more Egyptian artifacts on the second floor. We said continue with Egypt (we payed over $400 for an Egyptian tour), and we went upstairs only to find...no Egyptian artifacts. The guide left us at the Mona Lisa with 20 minutes left in the tour. It took us over 30 minutes just to get into the Louvre, so the tour was more like 2 hours instead of 3. Big waste of money.
Response from the operator: Please find below answer from our guide: Sorry to hear that. I studied Egyptology in École du Louvre, that is well known for its quality classes (travaux dirigés) which I mentioned to our customers during the tour. I also have an experience of guiding in Egyptian section of the Louvre and wrote myself a cycle of art history lessons (that includes ancient Egypt) for Levshin art school in Paris and always had excellent feedbacks. I also mentioned to our customers that by the end of the tour they will have an option between visiting the second floor of Egyptian art with more égyptien artifacts (which we did in the end, that’s when they discovered famous Séthi and Hathor law relief) or visiting Mesopotamia which would help to understand the unique nature of Egyptian art, or see some of the high lights of the Louvre, since it was their first time in the museum. We entered the Rechelieu wing of the Louvre, that took us less than 5 minutes, so the tour all in all lasted at least 3 hours if not more. It’s very sad that our customers had to lie about it, especially knowing that it was one of the fastest entrance I made for last 3 weeks. And this thanks to the fact that I came half an hour earlier and had seen that the entrance of inverted pyramid was too crowded and anticipated that. It’s really a shame that those efforts were not appreciated. As for one question that our customer had, I gave a precise answer about the black colon out of basalt. It’s a volcanic rock that Louvre doesn’t call this way, but has a different more general title for it. Unfortunately, it was interpreted as a lack of knowledge. It was at our customers request that I left them by Mona Lisa, right after we finished the second floor of Egyptian section (I only can wonder why they forgot taking pictures with Egyptian artifacts there, that they pretended not seeing at all).

Excellent Your of Egyptian artifacts at the Louvre
Excellent service. The guide was on time and she was knowledgeable of Egyptology. She made every single effort to make sure we saw the whole Egyptian collection at the Louvre.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your feedback. We had prepared your visit a Long Time in avance. So glad you had a good experience! Vincent

Why this scores 45
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Egypt at the Louvre: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Egypt at the Louvre cost?
+
Prices start at $185 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Egypt at the Louvre take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Egypt at the Louvre worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Egypt at the Louvre?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Egypt at the Louvre suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Egypt at the Louvre?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Egypt at the Louvre start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
