it covers very little of...
it covers very little of the louvre it is hard to navigate. You have to download it to your phone ans house a GPS signal to have it follow along with you. There are very few places in the louvre that is possible.
Response from the operator: The Louvre is large enough to make even GPS question its life choices. Our audio-guided tour focuses on selected highlights rather than all 35,000 works on display. Indoors, GPS can be unreliable, so stops can also be selected manually in the app. We hope your next Louvre visit involves more masterpieces and less hide-and-seek with the map.

Amazing!
The Louvre is truly amazing; it houses essential works from the history of art, and its architecture is absolutely breathtaking. I loved how this audio guide highlights the most iconic works, while also giving you the chance to explore many others that aren't on the main tour route.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the amazing review! We’re delighted that the TouringBee audio guide helped you focus on the Louvre’s iconic masterpieces while still leaving plenty of freedom to wander and make discoveries of your own. In a museum this vast, there’s always another masterpiece around the corner. We hope one of our tours accompanies you on your next cultural adventure!

Iconic place!
This place is a must-see. The architecture of the historic palace, combined with the modern glass pyramid, creates a striking visual contrast. It was a wonderful experience, made even better by this great audio guide, which I found to be very comprehensive and entertaining. I loved being able to see such iconic masterpieces as the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo in person it was breathtaking.
Response from the operator: What a wonderful way to experience the Louvre! We’re delighted that the TouringBee audio guide added extra context and entertainment to such an iconic visit, from the palace and pyramid to masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. We hope another of our tours makes your next museum or city experience just as memorable!
via Viator
Wonderful experience!
This audioguide is a real gem; it offers a very practical tour that takes you through the Louvre’s most notable works and shares details about the museum that you would have easily overlooked.
Response from the operator: Thank you for such a wonderful review! We’re especially happy that the TouringBee audio guide helped you notice details and stories at the Louvre that might otherwise have been easy to miss. A clear route through the highlights is exactly what we hope makes such a huge museum feel more manageable. We’d love to accompany you again on another museum or city adventure!

Limited audio
I would not recommend this audio tour as it has very limited items that are discussed. it only discussed a few art's prices and areas within the Louvre.
Response from the operator: The Louvre has about 35,000 artworks on display, so an audio guide covering every single one would probably finish sometime next Tuesday. This tour follows a selected route through key masterpieces and areas, rather than attempting to narrate the entire museum collection. We hope your next Louvre visit has exactly the right number of stops — before both your phone battery and your feet start demanding better working conditions.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Louvre Paris Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone (no ticket): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Louvre Paris Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone (no ticket) cost?
+
Prices start at €5 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 Paris Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone (no ticket) take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 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 Paris Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone (no ticket) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 28 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 Paris Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone (no ticket)?
+
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 Paris Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone (no ticket) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Louvre Paris Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone (no ticket)?
+
Around 10 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Louvre Paris Tour with Audioguide on Your Smartphone (no ticket) 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.
