Highlights
- Louvre Museum - A trip to Paris isn’t complete without a stop at the Louvre, but the sheer size of the place and the extensive collection can be overwhelming. Join our tour to see the most significant pieces straight away!
The original design of the Louvre as a royal residence wasn’t meant for a museum; it spans almost 10 miles of corridors! Your guide will navigate you through the most celebrated works, while also highlighting a variety of hidden gems along the way.
The Louvre served as a royal palace for four centuries; touring it is like traversing through time. You’ll encounter the remnants of the medieval fortress that once stood here and be dazzled by the opulent Apollo Gallery of Louis XIV.
Naturally, your visit includes an encounter with the world’s most renowned painting, the Mona Lisa. With insights from our guide about this mysterious masterpiece, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of her iconic status.
When our tour wraps up, you’re free to stay in the museum… right up until it closes, if that’s what you choose!

Excellent - We went to a Guides tour of thé Louvre with Sarah.
She was very friendly and professional. Her explanation was clear, and her excitement/enthousiasme about all the art and history was contagious. We saw so much more than the master pieces. Also at the end of the tour she gave us tips on what Parts of the Louvre to visit.
She is an excellent guide.

Good Tour - The guide was friendly and knowledgeable. The tour length was perfect. My only recommendation is to have better directions for the meeting place. It directed us to an Arch that was under construction, so it was not easy to find and the guide had a very small sign. We found her though and the tour was great.

Excellent tour highly recommend - The Tour Guy had to cancel our original booking for semiprivate tour but placed us in a smaller group at a later time. Romona was our tour guide. It ended up being a private tour and it was fantastic. The louvre is very crowded and can be overwhelming I am so glad we booked a tour to help us make the most of our time and learn interesting details along the way!

Wonderful 3 hour guided tour of the Louvre. - Our guide Perriné was superb and got us through to the most popular highlights in this 3 hour tour. She is very knowledgeable in her covering of paintings, sculpture and artifacts and is interested in her group’s understanding the history of the art. You will be very lucky if you get Perriné as your guide. She is excellent.

Not recommended - I wouldn’t recommend this tour from Memories France. This is our first time in Paris and our families got lost and are having a hard time to find the meeting point. We were 15 mins late. We called them to wait for us when we were 10 mins late. By the time we kinda found the meeting point, about 15 mins late, we called them and they said they already left. I can’t believe it they didn’t make effort to call/ text me. I paid $365 for this.
I took a tour with Top Sights Tour and some people in my group got lost and late. The tour guy actually called & talked to them … and waited.
You can’t just leave them like that esp when they are not locals & would get lost to find a meeting point … and have a grace periods.
Luckily we could get the ticket online and I can’t believe how cheap they are. It only cost us $34 for 2 adults & 2 teens. And I paid $365 for this crap.
