Josef was a great guide and storyteller! First time at the Louvre and this was a highly enjoyable way to see and learn about the art. Highly recommend.

Second Babylon tour of the Louvre was outstanding!
This is my second tour of the Louvre with Babylon. I did the tour three years ago with my daughter and a different guide. This trip was with my husband. I was glad that the guide did a similar route bc it reinforced what I learned before, added different details due to a different guide’s perspective and my husband had the opportunity to see the things that I found so interesting from the first tour. Plus, I looked back at my tour videos/photos to see the changes, which was also interesting. All in all, if I lived in France, I would do repeat tours of many museums with Babylon. The guides are so knowledgeable AND entertaining! Avi was our guide this time and we (especially my husband) appreciated his sense of humor. As for value—no lines. I repeat, no lines! Guides get you right in and know where the empty bathrooms are. The Louvre is huge and overwhelming. Having a guide helps eliminate that. Had I known more obscure art that I wanted to see, Avi would have taken us to see it. He asked what we were hoping to see before the tour started. He covered those things AND taught us about art and history. It was just exceptional and I can’t save enough about the value.
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing Babylon Tours for a second visit to the Louvre! It means so much to know that both experiences were memorable in their own ways. We're especially glad Avi's humor, knowledge, and personalized approach made this visit with your husband so enjoyable. The Louvre always has something new to discover, and we'd love to welcome you back for a third visit or another museum tour in Paris!

Great way to see the Louvre
Our tour guide Ivana was superb!!! We have travelled the world and have had many private tours and I have to say she is one of the best tour guides we have ever had. She keeps you moving along, hits the high notes of points of interest and was very informative. Highly recommend booking through Viator and ask for Ivana! Sandy and Evert from Toronto.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Sandy and Evert, for such an incredible compliment! We’re thrilled Ivana stands out as one of the best guides you’ve experienced during your travels around the world. Her ability to navigate the Louvre efficiently while focusing on its most important works and sharing meaningful context can make such a difference. We’ll be delighted to share your recommendation with her!

Great Tour of the Louvre...
We had a fantastic tour by Ivana! She clearly has a passion for her work, and the art of the Louvre. She not only showed us the best parts of the museum, but let us know the importance and history of what we were seeing. Worth every penny!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Museum of the Louvre Paris: Small Group Tour Max. 6: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Museum of the Louvre Paris: Small Group Tour Max. 6 cost?
+
Prices start at €10 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 Museum of the Louvre Paris: Small Group Tour Max. 6 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 Museum of the Louvre Paris: Small Group Tour Max. 6 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 49 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 Museum of the Louvre Paris: Small Group Tour Max. 6?
+
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 Museum of the Louvre Paris: Small Group Tour Max. 6 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 Museum of the Louvre Paris: Small Group Tour Max. 6?
+
Around 17 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 Museum of the Louvre Paris: Small Group Tour Max. 6 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.
