Very informative
So glad we boomed this tour. Two hours at the Louvre and we used every minute of this being guided by Matthew. He managed to navigate us e pertly around the exhibits ensuring that we saw all we wanted to.

Worth every euro!!
Here’s a preview of your review Make sure everything looks right Unable to submit: Please try again later Much better with a guide!! Theresa_S, Oct 2026 I have been to the Louvre many times before, but this time decided to go with a guide. Matteo was AMAZING!! He first taught us about the history of the Louvre itself (basement tour) then the beautiful works inside. His breadth and depth of knowledge was wonderful!! He was very friendly and spoke good English!! Our understanding was greatly increased because of his excellent information....and we were able to move quickly through the museum using his inside knowledge of less crowded places and doors. WORTH every euro!!!

Unforgettable evening at the Louvrewith Matteo
Booking a Wednesday evening tour was a stroke of luck—the museum was beautifully quiet, and I ended up getting a private, one-on-one tour with Matteo!Since I have trouble with my feet, Matteo perfectly tailored the pace just for me. We spent plenty of time seated on the Louvre's benches, which became a wonderful, relaxed way to look up and truly appreciate the art without rushing. Matteo was incredibly knowledgeable, full of fun facts, and spoke excellent English with a charming French accent. As a surprise bonus at the end of the night, I was even able to walk right up to the Mona Lisa with no crowds! I cannot recommend him enough. There are a lot of options and guides out there.I'm sure to have been lovely as well with the others in the group. You cannot go wrong booking this tour with Matteo.

Absolutely Unacceptable — Do not book with Matteo
ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE — DO NOT BOOK WITH MATTEO I booked this Louvre tour more than a month in advance and organized my limited time in Paris around this confirmed reservation. Matteo then cancelled the tour at 6:49 AM on the SAME MORNING of our 10:30 AM tour because the minimum number of participants had supposedly not been met. This is an appalling way to treat travelers. By cancelling only a few hours before the tour, there was practically no opportunity to find replacement Louvre tickets or another comparable guided tour. I was leaving Paris the following day, so the suggestion to simply reschedule was completely useless. To make matters worse, Viator initially claimed I had been notified the day before, which was not true. I have the timestamp clearly showing that the cancellation was sent that morning. If an operator knows a tour depends on a minimum number of participants, customers should be warned well in advance—not left stranded on the morning of the tour after planning their vacation around a confirmed booking. This cancellation effectively cost me the opportunity to visit one of the main attractions I traveled to Paris to see. A refund does not give a traveler back their time or the opportunity that was lost because of such incredibly poor planning and communication. Completely unreliable, extremely unprofessional, and one of the worst tour experiences I have had. I would strongly discourage anyone with limited time in Paris from booking with this operator. Cancelling only a few hours before the tour is unacceptable, especially for travelers who have planned their trip around a confirmed booking. I was leaving Paris the following day, so rescheduling was not an option, and by that point it was extremely difficult to find replacement Louvre tickets or another comparable tour. What made the situation worse was that Viator initially told me I had been notified the day before, which was incorrect. I have the timestamp showing the cancellation was sent that morning. I understand that group tours may require a minimum number of participants, but customers should be given reasonable notice—not cancelled on the morning of the experience after booking weeks in advance. I would not book with this operator again.
Response from the operator: Hello, I'm sorry about the last-minute cancellation. I didn't cancel because of a lack of participants, but because I wasn't feeling well enough to lead the tour. I understand your frustration, and I'm sorry about that. Have a great day. Best regards, Matteo

Guided Tour of the Louvre Museum with Tickets Included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Guided Tour of the Louvre Museum with Tickets Included cost?
+
Prices start at $109 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 Guided Tour of the Louvre Museum with Tickets Included take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Guided Tour of the Louvre Museum with Tickets Included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 204 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 Guided Tour of the Louvre Museum with Tickets Included?
+
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 Guided Tour of the Louvre Museum with Tickets Included suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Guided Tour of the Louvre Museum with Tickets Included?
+
Around 71 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Guided Tour of the Louvre Museum with Tickets Included 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.
