What To Expect
Louvre Museum
From its roots as a fortress to its days as a royal residence, the Louvre has more secrets than any other building in Paris could boast. Today, the museum is home to 35,000 pieces of art to discover on top of its rich architectural history. This semi-private tour is designed to help first timers navigate all that the Louvre has to offer, as well as surprise those who think they know it all. See statues such as the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Discuss paintings by Delacroix and Michelangelo, explore the underground Medieval Moat, and take in the opulent Apollo Gallery. From the Mona Lisa to the 19th-century masters, your guide will show you what you need to see at the Louvre, as well as a few special treats along the way.

Lourve Museum semi-private tour

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00A great way to tour the Louvre! The museum is so large and can be overwhelming that having a tour guide to show you the best artwork was very helpful. Our guide Monika P. was fantastic and told us a lot of history and interesting insights that we would have never known. Completely worth it and would recommend to anyone who wants to tour the Lourve.

The 4 famous ladies and more with Lee S.
Beth E,Feb 25, 2026
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Lee S showed and gave great context for the 4 Famous Ladies of the Louvre & more. His stories gave the art deeper meaning. I don’t think i would have enjoyed my visit to the Louvre nearly as much without his detailed knowledge behind some of the most famous, and not so famous pieces in the museum, because art is history, and sometimes you need a great teacher to help you understand that.
Francois is superb. Get a guide. Do not wait on line!

5.00Francois was exceptional. I have been to the Louvre many times and he taught me things that I did not know. His passion for art and history is evident. If you don’t think you like history, he will show you how it relates to your daily life. His English is excellent and his joy for the subject is contagious. I have had dozens of guides; Francois was absolutely one of my favorites. Skipping the line is worth EVERY PENNY!
Exciting and enjoyable

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Francois was an amazing Parisian tour guide that spoke English fluently. He was knowledgable & entertaining. He knows the museum like the back of his hand. We got where we needed to go in the museum with ease. He made our experience extremely enjoyable. Highly recommend him when traveling with teens who aren’t thrilled with visiting a museum. He kept my daughter engaged! Win!

5.00Our guide Anatole made this experience fantastic for us. A lot of incredible history but also a bit of humor kept our attention. I really recommend this company but above all our guide.
Excellent Tour of the Louvre - highly recommend having a guide. Florence was awesome!

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Florence was a very knowledgeable guide. I can't imagine trying to do the Louvre without a guide (there is just so much to see and navigate that if you only have a half day that I would strongly advise using a guide). I would definitely recommend Florence for your tour!
Live guide is better than an audio guide

5.00Dina was very knowledgeable. It made a big difference to have a live guide rather than listen to audio guide. Would recommend to take the tour.
