Awesome Tour
Our tour was the closing tour so we were on the clock from the start. Our guide was on time and best of all she was an art history professor at several private universities in Paris. If I remember correctly, her name was Neah. She kept us moving from interesting piece to interesting piece. She even took us off the beaten path so I could see the Moabite Stone Stele that confirmed the recognition of YAHWEH as the God of Israel. She provided in-depth background on each piece of artwork and statue we encountered. She moved quickly between the items she wanted us to see and she was very engaging with each member of the group. She made the tour experience wonderful. Two hours is not nearly enough time in the Louvre but it surely makes you want return. Great tour and even better guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Bill, for such a detailed and thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our Louvre Closing Time Guided Tour and that your guide’s expertise and engaging style made the experience so special. We’re especially glad she was able to take you beyond the well-known masterpieces and introduce you to fascinating pieces such as the Moabite Stone Stele. We completely agree that two hours can only scratch the surface of the Louvre, but we love that the tour left you wanting to return and discover even more. Thank you for choosing Uncle Sam Tours, and we hope to welcome you back to the Louvre again someday!

Louvre Closing Time Tour 2026
Our tour guide was lovely, but it definitely was not a “closing time tour” (the time should have given that away……) Museum was heaving, and it’s hot inside, you couldn’t hear anything, let alone a guide talking. I would suggest opting for a head set tour and be on the earliest tour!

Very informative tour with a lot of cool history about each piece
Fetah was great. What a very informative tour and it was really enjoyable, but I wish that it wasn't crowded even in the afternoon, but I guess with this many people coming through the lube every year you can't avoid it but great tour.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Fetah made your Louvre tour informative and enjoyable, and that you appreciated the history and stories behind the artworks. We completely understand your comment about the crowds, as the Louvre can be very busy, but we’re glad you still had a great experience.

Bad audio
Audio was terrible. If the microphone wasn’t in front of his mouth, the sound was low. He needs a headset type mic that always stays in front of his mouth. Spend $10 on a better mic!

Louvre Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Louvre Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa cost?
+
Prices start at $172 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 Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa 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 Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 102 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 Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa?
+
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 Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa 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 Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa?
+
Around 36 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 Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa 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 Louvre Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa?
+
Included: English-speaking expert guide; and 28€ entrance ticket to the museum for adults. Not included: Gratuities; and Tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Louvre Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Louvre Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Louvre Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Louvre Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Louvre Museum Closing Time Guided Tour with the Mona Lisa?
