    Bad

    It was a free museum weekend in Paris & couldn’t even find our guide with the crowds , after contacting him, still couldn’t meet! A lot of money for nothing😡

    Response from the operator: Bonjour Anne, We are sorry you had difficulty meeting your guide. The meeting point is at our agency to make finding the guide easier, especially when the Louvre is very crowded. Even when clients are late, our guide calls them and waits 15 minutes for them to reach the agency. We regret the confusion and hope to welcome you again. Cordialement, Alice de France Tourisme

    Highly recommend this tour

    Our first trip to Paris so wanted to see the louvre. The museum was beautiful and our tour guide was amazing! He told us so much history about things and told it in such an interesting way. Definitely kept our interest and learned a lot about how the building started small and how it kept growing larger and why. Told a lot of history on the sculptures, paintings, frames etc. great tour!

    Response from the operator: Bonjour Elaine, Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We are delighted our guide made your first Louvre visit so fascinating and brought its history to life. We hope to welcome you again for an Orsay guided tour or a sunset Champagne cruise! Cordialement, Alice de France Tourisme

    Louvre Museum Small-Group Guided Tour with Masterpieces & Access: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Louvre Museum Small-Group Guided Tour with Masterpieces & Access cost?

    +

    Prices start at $113 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 Small-Group Guided Tour with Masterpieces & Access 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 Small-Group Guided Tour with Masterpieces & Access worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 578 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 Small-Group Guided Tour with Masterpieces & Access?

    +

    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 Small-Group Guided Tour with Masterpieces & Access 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 Small-Group Guided Tour with Masterpieces & Access?

    +

    Around 202 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 Small-Group Guided Tour with Masterpieces & Access 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 Small-Group Guided Tour with Masterpieces & Access?

    +

    Included: 2-hour guided itinerary that covers the main masterpieces of the Louvre; Small-group guided tour (maximum 6 travelers); Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Napoleon's Coronation, and many more masterpieces of the Louvre; Professional, licensed English-speaking guide; and Pre-booked entrance ticket to the Louvre Museum.

    Paris Tourism / France Tourisme 6 rue de l'Amiral de Coligny, 75001 PARIS The Louvre Museum is a three-minute walk from the agency. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Louvre Museum Small-Group Guided Tour with Masterpieces & Access offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Louvre Museum Small-Group Guided Tour with Masterpieces & Access wheelchair or stroller accessible?
