About this experience
Enjoy a private evening tour of the Louvre when the crowds thin out and the museum takes on a magical atmosphere. On Wednesdays and Fridays, the Louvre stays open until nighttime, offering a unique chance to explore its treasures without the daytime rush. At Dayin, a Paris-based company born from our love of Paris and its museums, we’ve been exploring the Louvre since childhood and have always loved the soft evening lighting that enhances the beauty of its galleries. Our guides are in the museum daily and know how to easily navigate the crowds and showcase the must-sees like the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Victory of Samothrace. This private tour is carefully planned, ensuring a relaxed and engaging visit at your own pace. With pre-reserved tickets, no need to print or download anything—just arrive and enjoy a stress-free Louvre night tour!

The Best Way to see the Louvre!!
I can't imagine trying to navigate the Louvre without an expert guide. Dayin' Paris' guide, Justine, was phenomenal and made our experience something my family and I will never forget. I highly recommend this tour and would do any tour offered by Dayin' Paris!

Night tour with Monty!
Great tour with Monty. Two hour, night tour is the best way to see the Louvre. Much smaller crowds, then a dinner afterwards!

Great experience at the Louvre with a 12 year old daughter
We really enjoyed our private tour with Justine. We had our 12 year old daughter with us and Justine did a great job customize our tour to make it entertaining for her. The evening time tour was also great as the museum was not very crowded and allowed us to see a lot of different sections. This is the best way to see this large museum

Night Tour of the Louvre
Night tour of the Louvre Beautiful time to see the Louvre, no queuing and less crowded. Great information and history about the Louvre itself. Our guide Monty concentrated on a number of highlights giving in depth information with plenty of time to stop and admire the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. Definitely a superb way to experience this Paris must see.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Louvre Late Opening Private Tour – Fewer Crowds & Highlights: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Louvre Late Opening Private Tour – Fewer Crowds & Highlights cost?
+
Prices start at $24 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 Late Opening Private Tour – Fewer Crowds & Highlights 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 Louvre Late Opening Private Tour – Fewer Crowds & Highlights worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 18 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 Late Opening Private Tour – Fewer Crowds & Highlights?
+
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 Late Opening Private Tour – Fewer Crowds & Highlights 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 Louvre Late Opening Private Tour – Fewer Crowds & Highlights?
+
Around 6 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 Louvre Late Opening Private Tour – Fewer Crowds & Highlights 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.
