    What you'll see and do

    1. Paris

      Meet your guide just outside the Louvre and head straight for the dedicated group entrance, bypassing the long lines at the main pyramid. After a quick security check, you'll step inside the world's largest art museum to start your visit. Over the next two hours, you'll follow an expert guide on a curated route in a small group, taking advantage of the late-afternoon hours when the crowds begin to thin.

      Pass by without stopping

    2. Louvre Museum

      Inside, your guide leads you straight to the icons: Leonardo's Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace at the top of a grand staircase, and the armless Venus de Milo in the Greek halls. You'll hear how the building grew from a medieval fortress into a royal palace and finally a public museum, with insider stories about the artists behind each masterpiece. The small group keeps the pace personal, with room to see every work and ask questions you'd never get to in a packed morning crowd. Your visit wraps up at Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss in the Michelangelo Gallery, when late-afternoon light has the museum at its most peaceful.

    fatah was a great guide. We had a great time. I would recommend this tour to everyone, we learnt so much.

    Response from the operator: Hi Ann, Thank you so much for your review! Fetah will be thrilled to hear that you had such a great time during your closing-time visit to the Louvre. Learning and discovering new details about world art is what makes that late departure so special! Thank you for recommending us, and we hope to see you again soon! Best regards,

    The tour guide did not...

    The tour guide did not show up. We waited from 2:30pm to 3:45. We tried too contact the company from 3:30 no one replied we want a refund. We had to repurchase tickets again. Please contact me assp

    Response from the operator: Hi Terri, We are so sorry to hear about this stressful experience. We completely understand how upsetting and frustrating it must have been to wait for your guide, miss your tour, and have to purchase new tickets on your own—especially at a landmark like the Louvre. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we want to get this fixed for you right away. Our support management team is actively reviewing your booking, and a team member will be reaching out to you directly via email/Viator messages shortly to assist you with this and make things right. Sincerely,

    via Viator

    Louvre Museum: Guided Tour at Closing Time with Mona Lisa: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Louvre Museum: Guided Tour at Closing Time with Mona Lisa cost?

    +

    Prices start at €55 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: Guided Tour at Closing Time with 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: Guided Tour at Closing Time with Mona Lisa worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 108 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Louvre Museum: Guided Tour at Closing Time with 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: Guided Tour at Closing Time with 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: Guided Tour at Closing Time with Mona Lisa?

    +

    Around 38 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: Guided Tour at Closing Time with 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: Guided Tour at Closing Time with Mona Lisa?

    +

    Included: Viewings of the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Liberty Leading the People; Expert, English-speaking art historian guide; Afternoon guided tour of the Louvre's famous artworks and exhibits; Curated route through the museum at closing time; and Fascinating insights and stories about artists. Not included: Guide tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Louvre Museum: Guided Tour at Closing Time with Mona Lisa?

    +

    Please Arrive 10 Minutes Early. Your guide will meet you at the equestrian statue of Louis the XIV in front of the Louvre Pyramid. A representative will be there holding a sign with The Tour Guy on it. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Louvre Museum: Guided Tour at Closing Time with 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: Guided Tour at Closing Time with 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: Guided Tour at Closing Time with Mona Lisa wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Unfortunately, this tour is not wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Louvre Museum: Guided Tour at Closing Time with Mona Lisa if the weather is bad?

    +
