Great experience
Hugo was fabulous- so knowledgeable and engaging. We’re only here for a short time and knew we couldn’t visit the whole museum, so booking the highlights fit our schedule better. Would love to come back and spend more time.

Summer Louvre Guided Group Tour.
Great guide, knowledgeable, kind, fast! Got us around all the highlights efficiently. Gave us ideas for when we went on our own at the end. Went on a Wednesday in August. She said the crowd was light. Great for families with older kids or adults.

Excellent
I have toured the Louvre 3 other times and this was by far the best tour I have taken. Our guide Antoine was knowledgeable, interesting and accommodating. We were able to truly enjoy the highlights of the Louvre in a relatively uncrowded manner. I would highly recommend Viator to others.
