Louvre Museum Small Group Guided Tour with Pre-Booked Tickets
Description
After passing through the security check, your swift entry into the museum is facilitated by the pre-booked tickets included in the tour! Alongside iconic masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, Venus of Milo, Winged Victory of Samothrace, and Napoleon’s coronation, your guide will provide insights into the historical evolution of this former royal palace. Spanning 800 years, it was transformed from a medieval fortress to a Renaissance royal residence, later serving partly as a museum. Enlarged and utilized by two emperors, it emerged as the world’s most visited museum by the end of the 20th century, boasting over 35,000 works and crowned by the iconic Pyramid. As of January 2026 the Louvre has changed their ticketing system. There has been an increase in price and customers will no longer be allowed to stay in the Louvre after their tour is over. Our tour is a small group tour with 6 people per guide. You may ask for more information if you wish to travel in a larger group.

Knowledgeable guide who spoke great English. Very well organized and interesting tour.
Thank you for your lovely review. We love to read them!
Our excellent & passionate tour guide introduced us to the iconic masterpieces Mona Lisa, Venus of Milo, Winged Victory of Samothrace, and Napoleon’s coronation and connected the historical evolution of this former royal palace spanning 800 years that was transformed from a medieval fortress to a Renaissance royal residence, later serving partly as a museum.

Ashkan was a wonderful guide! His knowledge of the paintings and the building were outstanding. We wished we could have stayed with him even longer. I highly recommend!
Thank you very much Mike for your so nice feedback. Indeed we are proud of having Ashkan in our team, come back to see us, all our team is thrilled to make you discover many other sites in Paris. Keep in touch.
Our small group tour of the Louvre was fantastic! We loved our tour guide Maryam. It was the first time in the Louvre, so it was overwhelming - she provided us with an excellent overview, took us to the most famous works (so many here!), and providing us exposure to the less visited and equally fascinating exhibits including Mesopotamia and Babylonian art. We learned about the history of the museum, architectural features, and many exciting events in the past like robberies! I loved the Grecian and Roman art on display. Spent lots of time on Renaissance art and then French painters. Each room looked more beautiful than the last. Maryam was very knowledgeable about art, ancient cultures, and history. She was very thoughtful and accomadating of our needs. We had one member of our party who was slow and didn’t like stairs, she went out of her way to make sure he could take elevators. Overall it was an excellent experience, so much better than expected and Maryam was a superb guide. I would highly recommend her to everyone else! I’d recommend doing a Friday evening tour, this was still very busy but not as bad as other times.
Hi Maria, thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review. We really appreciate it.
Our tour guide Pilou was outstanding! He navigated us through the museum hitting all of the highlights. He took his time to explain meaning and stories behind every piece of art. He was extremely knowledgeable and very informative. He made our experience exceptional!
Hi, thank you for your lovely review. We love hearing about our clients experiences with us.
Our tour guide was excellent! The Louvre opened late on the day of our tour (May 4), but our guide got us in line so that we were one of the first to go in when it opened. This also allowed time for him to give us lots of overall information on the Louvre before we entered. Being one of the first to go in allowed us to see so much without crowds. The guide was also cognizant of our hard stop in order to get to our next tour, but was about to show us so much before our time was up. We were very pleased with how the tour went!
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Sometimes the unexpected happens but all our guides know how to make sure you have the best time possible with us. Hope we get to see you again.
Our tour guide Alex was wonderful! He is kind and very knowledgeable. He customized the tour to what we wanted to prioritize. Thank you Alex!
Thank you very much Amy for your lovely words and your time for sharing with us your experience. We are extremely happy to read them. Be sure, we will share it with Alex too. Enjoy the rest of your stay in Paris and come back to see us, we will still be here. Marta
The guide was great, friendly, funny and very passionate about art and french culture. The experience went smoothly. Five stars !
Thank you very much for your review! We love reading them.
Akiko led us on a private tour of the Louvre and absolutely exceeded our expectations. We originally hired a guide for logistical help navigating the vast, often overwhelming museum, but what we received was a rich, engaging education in French history and art. Akiko was energetic, thoughtful, and full of fascinating insight. She took us straight to the highlights—popular works and hidden gems alike—and shared detailed stories that brought each piece to life. Her pacing was perfect, and she was always attuned to our group’s needs. Touring the Louvre with her was one of the best decisions of our entire trip.
Thank you Paula for your lovely review! It was a delight to read. We're so proud of our fantastic guides, who create such special memories for our customers.
