Long, wonderful day
We added the Renoir exhibit to our tour. I was a little worried that it would be too much time on our feet. It wasn’t. Lucien made sure to find seats on a regular basis. His guided tour was excellent. We learned and experienced in the best way. Worth every euro.
Response from the operator: Bonjour Patricia and Robert, and thank you very, very much for this wonderful review. It is true that Lucien really makes art come to life and that changes everything !! À bientôt,

Best of both museums
Amazing tour of both museums. Diona was such a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. She maneuvered us seamlessly through the Louve and Orsay to see so many important works of art. More importantly, she gave us a better understanding of the artworks and the history behind them. We were left with a much deeper appreciation and knowledge.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the lovely review ! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour with Doina. Hope to see you again soon !

Not your average private tour - went above and beyond helping with mobility issues!!
WOW!! Such a small word for such an awesome experience with My Private Paris! From booking with Alex, to our excellent chauffeurs (Phillip - you are AMAZING) everything was wonderful. We had a few "needs" when we booked, as my husband has mobility issues and uses an electric wheelchair even for going short distances. The guides and chauffeurs went above and beyond to map out routes for accessibility and elevators (lifts) to loading and unloading his chair each and every time we stopped. They were always accommodating and friendly - even when we were hot and tired!! With their help we were able to see everything we wanted to see, attend a show at Moulin Rouge, and even enjoyed a wonderful (and private!) Seine River Cruise!! A HUGE THANK YOU to Alex (who coordinated everything - including train and airport transfers); Dina (guide to the Louvre); Elliot (guide to Notre Dame, Sainte Chappelle and Montmartre); Jean (guide to Versailles); Olek (guide to Orsay and the Orangerie); Daina (guide to Giverny and Monet's house and gardens); and Marie (our private shopping tour guide) - all of them were wonderful, helpful and so kind! If we ever find our way back to Paris - My Private Paris is the ONLY WAY WE WOULD GO!! Thank you again for a memory filled trip!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this incredible review ! We’re thrilled that Alex, Phillip, and all our guides could make your trip accessible, comfortable, and unforgettable. It was a pleasure to help you explore Paris and create such special memories, we can’t wait to welcome you back someday !

Great experience, best way to see the Louvre
We skipped the huge line outside and went right in through the side entrance. Our guide was very knowledgeable, knew the Louvre and the history extremely well. She took us directly to all the main attractions and gave us the background to everything. Very efficient and informative. Would absolutely recommend!

Great tour but fraudster had my phone number
Our guide, Soline, was very knowledgeable about the art pieces and lead us around the museums very efficiently. The tour was great and the customer service was very responsive. The only reason I gave 4 starts instead of 5 was that this was the only tour (one of six all booked through Viator) that I received a spam SMS message. The fraudster claimed that I needed to click a link to buy the tickets to the second museum. When I replied that the tickets were already purchased the fraudster continued to insist that they were not. The customer service through Viator “contact the operator” was super fast to confirm that this was fraudulent but was still a bit unnerving that we had to deal with this. Also odd that this was the only tour to have this issue.
Response from the operator: Hello Brittney, thank you for taking the time to write this review. We are very happy you had a great time with our tour guide Soline in the Louvre and the Orsay museums. She is an Art expert and loves to share her passion in these museums in particular. We understand the disturbance you have been through because of these fraud messages. Unfortunately, they are completely out of our control as local tour providers, and we are the first ones to be impacted in this kind of situation as we receive our first mixed review in a long time. We will ask TripAdvisor/Viator to investigate on this situation as we truly wish this will be the first and only time we are facing this kind of situation. With our warm regards from Paris, Alexandre.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
LOUVRE & ORSAY PRIVATE TOUR - Local Expert guide: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does LOUVRE & ORSAY PRIVATE TOUR - Local Expert guide cost?
+
Prices start at $179 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 & ORSAY PRIVATE TOUR - Local Expert guide take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 & ORSAY PRIVATE TOUR - Local Expert guide worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 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 & ORSAY PRIVATE TOUR - Local Expert guide?
+
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 & ORSAY PRIVATE TOUR - Local Expert guide suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book LOUVRE & ORSAY PRIVATE TOUR - Local Expert guide?
+
Around 3 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does LOUVRE & ORSAY PRIVATE TOUR - Local Expert guide 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.
