    Excellent tour of this building and museum

    Our guide, Alessia, was excellent. She was slightly delayed due to metro issues but was able to communicate with us until we met up and even brought us pastries. She was with us for just over 2 hours (it wasn’t three), but she gave us some history even as we waited in line to get inside. We saw many highlights and feel really satisfied with her tour. I would go on another tour with her anytime! She was terrific and I feel much more confident regarding this massive museum and historical building having learned so much from her.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Alessia and appreciated her knowledge and enthusiasm. We’ll be sure to share your lovely feedback with her. We hope to see you again on another tour soon!

    So Disappointed

    Scheduled a private tour of the Louvre and the guide never showed up. She later said she was stuck in traffic and tried to convince us to stick around and wait for her which we declined because we had other plans. We let her know a simple text ahead of time letting us know would’ve sufficed, but being two older ladies, standing around in the heat, wasn’t part of the deal. We wound up scheduling with the tour guys and had a fantastic time for half the cost

    Poor experience

    We booked the tour but on arrival at the Louvre we were directed to the queues at the tents and thus missed the tour. We attempted to join the tour inside at the area marked Groups but a staff member said we couldn’t do this as the tours are private and directed us to the cashier to buy new tickets, which we did. I have since attempted to obtain a refund by emailing the company and was informed a colleague would contact me in due course. Needless to say 2 weeks on and I have heard nothing. On a further attempt to contact the company by email again I get a message that the email address is now invalid and cannot be delivered. Please DO NOT USE this company. The tickets for the Louvre are not very expensive, much cheaper than the tour tickets.

    The Louvre-Sensational Guided experience - w/ Elena at Get Your Guide

    Elena was Fantastic! She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, and made a potentially chaotic museum experience with all the tourists, methodical and easy to digest as there is an incredible amount to see. She helped us to have a wonderful experience we will always remember. Would highly recommend and seek to take more tours with Elena!

    Louvre: All the stars of museum - Private guided 3h tour & entry: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

    How much does Louvre: All the stars of museum - Private guided 3h tour & entry cost?

    +

    Prices start at €220 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 Louvre: All the stars of museum - Private guided 3h tour & entry 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 Louvre: All the stars of museum - Private guided 3h tour & entry worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 47 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 Louvre: All the stars of museum - Private guided 3h tour & entry?

    +

    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 Louvre: All the stars of museum - Private guided 3h tour & entry 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 Louvre: All the stars of museum - Private guided 3h tour & entry?

    +

    Around 16 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 Louvre: All the stars of museum - Private guided 3h tour & entry 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.
