5.00Saw all highlights and skipped many entrance lines. The Louve was very busy so this private tour helped navigate the enormous area.

5.00Florence was a great tour guide, great knowledge of all the art in the Louvre as well as the History! Definitely the most efficient way to go to a big museum like this. Loved all the stories behind the paintings that otherwise we wouldn’t have known. Lively personality helped too. Would recommend!

Headphones did not work for our group

- Review from Viator
2.00This was our first time to louvre and our tour guide was nice but could not get the headphones working. They only worked for the first 20 minutes or so, and then after that, they wouldn’t work at all. So we couldn’t hear her. She tried to talk and a loud voice for our group which was about 19 people, but cannot hear her. We ended up leaving about 40 minutes early Before the tour ended. So disappointed. The Louvre most amazing, but I would not recommend this tour to a friend if you cannot hear through the headphones set
