wonderful Louvre
Excellent tour and did not need to fight the crowds!! Our guide was excellent and shared so much information in a short amount of time. Allowed enough time and felt comfortable asking questions. Small group is only way to do it.

A Masterpiece
First time in Paris. Five (5) days to accomplish the maximum. The Tour Guy [Gal] delivered. Booking interface is seamless. Meeting interface is spot on. Fortunate to have outstanding tour guide "Violet". She is awesome. Accommodated our mobility limitations and tailored the tour for our benefit. Her knowledge, insight and nuances of the artworks transformed our viewing into a "masterpiece. Evening "experience" - was just that - a memorable experience. Let the experts "walk the talk"!

Q: Can I use my Paris Museum Pass to get a discount on our Louvre tour?
A: We pre-book all of our reservations and admission tickets for the Louvre Museum in advance. While the Paris Museum Pass can bring you inside the Louvre, our tours include pre-booked reservations. Because of this, you are not able to use your passes on our tours.
Q: Can we stay longer in the museum after the tour ends?
A: After your guide says goodbye, you are allowed to stay inside the museum until closing time. Be aware, though, that once you exit the area where the artwork is, you will not be allowed to re-enter.
Q: Does this tour always visit every artwork listed?
Often artwork undergoes restorations or is loaned to another museum as an exhibit. Our itinerary will include the stop if it is open to be seen. If not, we will add a substitute.
