Couldn’t have been better, enjoyed every minute.
Hugo was our guide for the afternoon. He was so knowledgeable about the history of the louve and the paintings inside. Would highly recommend this tour and with Hugo, you will not be disappointed.

Wonderful tour of rhe Louvre and wine tasting
Michelle was funny, interactive, and very knowledgeable about the Louve and Paris in general. She made sure to keep everyone in our group together, even though the very busy Museum. I would highly recommend her to anybody. The wine tasting was also very good, and the sommelier was fantastic!

Valuable time in the Louvre with great guide!
Highly recommend whether it’s 1st time, visited long time ago, and/or have little time. Booked on a whim for our last day in Paris. Saved us idle time standing in line (in the unseasonably warm weather), wandering aimlessly debating where to go or what to see… Guide (Mauro) was knowledgeable and personable, great sense of humor and definitely experienced. We enjoyed his anecdotes and took us to priceless artwork we wanted to see - original fortress ruins under Louvre, Mona Lisa, Nike, Venus de Milo, Crowning of Bonaparte, etc. He also was attentive to all guests (14) and patient while maneuvering in a busy crowd. Walked (a bit fat) to a great bar for wine tasting. Good wines and great portion of hors d’ouvres. Great value considering last minute booking, tour, wine testing with food in addition to admission fee. For improvement, would have liked to meet in cooler area with seating, and possibly mention public access to restroom to save time at beginning of tour (1/2 hr of 3 hrs lost), especially since walk to bar was another 20min.

Good art, better wine!!
Sid, our guide was hilarious! He might not be for everybody, but we certainly enjoyed him. Lol!! His choice of pieces to show us in the amount of time we had was perfect!! he was very knowledgeable while making it very interesting. The walk to the wine tasting was unexpectedly long after a couple of hours already walking, but it was so well worth it!! The bar he took us to had the coolest cellar/cave below. The wine was fabulous and the people there were great! Overall, we certainly enjoyed our afternoon!!

Express Louvre Masterpieces Guided Tour & Sommelier Wine Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Express Louvre Masterpieces Guided Tour & Sommelier Wine Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at €94 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 Express Louvre Masterpieces Guided Tour & Sommelier Wine Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Express Louvre Masterpieces Guided Tour & Sommelier Wine Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 223 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 Express Louvre Masterpieces Guided Tour & Sommelier Wine Tasting?
+
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 Express Louvre Masterpieces Guided Tour & Sommelier Wine Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Express Louvre Masterpieces Guided Tour & Sommelier Wine Tasting?
+
Around 78 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Express Louvre Masterpieces Guided Tour & Sommelier Wine Tasting 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 Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based), Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX. 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.
What is included in Express Louvre Masterpieces Guided Tour & Sommelier Wine Tasting?
+
Included: €28 entrance ticket to the museum for adults; Headsets at the Louvre to always hear your guide; Expert English Speaking Guide for the Louvre Tour; Professional English Speaking Sommelier for the Tasting; and Cheese and charcuterie sharing platters. Not included: Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Express Louvre Masterpieces Guided Tour & Sommelier Wine Tasting?
+

Is Express Louvre Masterpieces Guided Tour & Sommelier Wine Tasting wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
