Great Tour and Guide!
If you don’t have time to see a lot of The Louvre, this is a fabulous tour to see the highlights! Kashia was an amazing guide. We did not have to wait in the extremely long entry lines, she explained so many things and made the tour very interesting! Definitely book through this tour group if you want a reliable and knowledgeable guide!

Maryam was incredibly...
Maryam was incredibly knowledgeable and gave such an interesting tour! I had been to the Louvre before (it was my husband’s first visit), and I still learned so much that I had not already learned on previous visits. She did an impressive job of helping us put the various art pieces in context of what was happening in history at the time and she also had a great sense of humor. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

Fabulous Lourve tour with Maryam
Our experience with Maryam as our private Lourve guide was fabulous. She was not only knowledgeable about all the art she showed us, but was an expert at navigating the museum, ensuring we made the most of our time. She share her favorite works with us which made it feel more personal and had amazing insights into each piece we discussed. The admin part of working with Viator was also seamless. 10/10 recommend, I’ll never see the Lourve any other way!

A lot to cover
There is a lot to cover at the Louvre, from Mesopotamian artifacts to Napoleon’s apartments, from the Mona Lisa to the chamber where the jewels were stolen, from furniture and chandeliers, to tapestries and paintings. This was the first private tour through Viator in a museum that was guided by a guide who did not have an art history degree or background, and while we understand no guide can know about everything in the Louvre, we would have appreciated a guide who knew about the French art, paintings, and artifacts. While she was very nice, we did not have the experience we have come to know through Viator..

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Louvre Museum Private Guided Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Louvre Museum Private Guided Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $192 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 Private Guided Tour 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 Private Guided Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 169 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 Private Guided Tour?
+
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 Private Guided Tour 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 Private Guided Tour?
+
Around 59 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 Private Guided Tour 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 Private Guided Tour?
+
Included: Timed entrance tickets; Louvre Museum Entry; Private Tour; and Experienced and professional local guide. Not included: Snacks; Hotel transfer; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
