    The tour ends inside the museum, so you can continue visiting this huge and wonderful museum after your guided tour, if you wish so.

What To Expect

Gather your family and meet your guide on the Place du Carrousel, just opposite the entrance to the Louvre. Your private guide is very experienced with families of all combinations and children of all ages; they will ensure everyone in your party is engaged in the history and art of the Louvre.

With prepurchased tickets, you'll skip the long line and proceed directly inside. Follow your guide to see the most famous treasures of the museum; choose from a 1.5-, 2-, or 3-hour tour, depending on your time available and attention span of your group. Learn about Mona Lisa's legend, the Egyptian Gods or the famous da Vinci code. Hear the history of the building, which was originally built in the 12th century as a fortress. 

Stop by must-see masterpieces by artists such as Ghirlandaio, Ingres, Michelangelo, Bernini, Delacroix, Canova, and Géricault. The goal is for all tour participants to feel inspired by the museum's treasures and to make the sometimes overwhelming collection accessible to everyone.

Perfect Louvre Experience
Andi_S, Apr 2024
We had a blast on this tour! My kids can be quite shy, but Rosana, our guide, was fantastic. She was patient, super knowledgeable, and fun. She got my kids engaged through her gentle persistence. We all learned so much…and were still smiling at the end!!!
Great way to share the museum and history with family!
Penny_M, Apr 2024
Alberto is very knowledgeable and caring! He did a great job of keeping us all (including our 2 teenagers and 2 grandparents) engaged by asking questions and learning about everyone's interests. He welcomed questions and provided great details!
Excellent Family Tour
Aramis_S, Apr 2024
Anna is amazing! My wife and I brought our 10 and 13 year old boys for their first Louvre experience, and Anna did an amazing job of keeping them engaged with intriguing information. The tour was well paced and filled with interesting facts for the whole family.
How great our tour guide...
Todd_F, Mar 2024
How great our tour guide was with our somewhat difficult kids. Agathe was really patient with our kids and made not only the art but the building and the history relatable and fun to our 3 and 6 year old. Also not having to wait inline but getting to use the side entrance was awesome!
Louvre Highlights For Sure
Angie_S, Mar 2024
Ruth was engaging, and our kids (9 & 13) enjoyed the experience, asked questions, and paid attention. We saw the well-known masterpieces (Mona Lisa, Victory/Nike statue, Venus de Milo), and Ruth showed us several other amazing pieces of art. She took time to explain things about the artwork, compared similar pieces, and helped us enjoy the experience. Ruth was also sure to show us the Fortress. We had a great day.
Great Kids Intro to the Louvre
Krupali_P, Mar 2024
Fantastic introduction for the kids to the Louvre! Joanna was great and so patient! We went through the highlights and the kids stayed engaged!
Wonderful Tour for Families
Sara_D, Mar 2024
Fantastic tour! Tatiana did a wonderful job keeping our son interested and engaged on a 3 hour tour of the Louvre. He’s 10 and was starting to fade towards the end but she kept him going and we saw the amazing highlights with the background info to go with. Definitely recommend!!
Winged Victory statue and the Nike story was my favorite attraction.
Michael_W, Feb 2024
We had a spectacular day visiting the Louvre museum. Our guide. Lauranne was absolutely incredible. She was so helpful and so kind and willing to answer literally any questions no matter how silly they were. :) She worked her magic and was able to get our r children right in front of the Mona Lisa for a photo op, which is an experience they will never forget.

Ariel_C, Jan 2024
Really one of the highlights of our trip to Paris! Would absolutely recommend this tour and our delightful guide.
Great experience at the Louvre
Greg_K, Jan 2024
Joanna was great with our 5 year old son, plus help my wife and I enjoy the museum as well. Plus the Viator team was great with communication leading up to the tour itself.
More than worth the price
Nicholas_T, Jan 2024
Absolutely worth the price. Private guided 2 hour tour was just enough to dip our toes into the museum. Our guide Joanna Cendlak was the best tour guide we have ever had. Interacted with both our teenager and our youngest (2yr) seemlessly and we had plentt of time at the highlights of the museum.
Local knowledge is the best
Bradley_H, Dec 2023
The guides knowledge of artworks that we did not know was amazing! Also the local knowledge to take us smoothly through the museum as well as the less busy entrances!
Pauline is wonderful for families with children!!!
Joey_F, Dec 2023
This was by far one of the most wonderful experiences we had while we were in London. Our guide Pauline was beyond wonderful!! Her knowledge of both French and European history and her ability to weave those together as she walked us around the different art works was incredible. Most importantly she was so wonderful with our 7 year old twins and while she was able to make it fun and interesting for them - she also made it interesting for us adults as well.
Super fun
cortlandt_D, Nov 2023
This tour was EXCELLENT.Paulina was super knowledgeable and just super nice and warm.She really made my kids feels at home in the Louvre which could be hard to do.The adults learned a lot as well!Totally recommend for families with you by children over an audio tour
Worth the cost, especially w/ young children!
Lauren_P, Nov 2023
This tour was pricy, but worth every penny & the perfect way to experience the Louvre w/ young children. Alberto was our guide & he was excellent & kept our girls (6 + 8YO) & my husband engaged the entire time, was very knowledgeable & patient!! We skipped all lines, breezed through numerous sections (despite the crowds) & saw many highlights. Highly recommend.
Up close at the Louvre!
Jennifer_J, Oct 2023
Helene was amazing! This was our second museum tour in two days and I was worried that my eight year old would be burned out. Helene kept his attention by asking lots of questions and getting his input and opinions. She even had a file of photos, sketches and articles to show him about the Mona Lisa and other works. This tour is worth what you’ll pay and more!
Great introduction to the Louvre
Katherine_R, Oct 2023
The tour was perfect for my young children (5 and 9) - the guide was great and able to switch between French for my bilingual kids and English for monolingual parents. Was quite expensive but the kids were engaged the whole time. We liked that we could stay on at the museum for as long as we wanted afterwards.
Wonderful Tour!
Kimberly_C, Sep 2023
This was just the right length for children and our guide was very thoughtful and sensitive to our children who were visiting on the tail end of a long trip. The Louvre is crowded and loud at times so it can be a bit overwhelming especially for children. We appreciated the headsets so we could hear better. Our guide was very kid friendly and came with short, relevant activities that the children could complete while taking a rest on a bench in between exhibits as well as an iPad with kid friendly visuals to explain the background of important works of art. We were able to see the major highlights that you'd want your children to see at the Louvre in an efficient manner and then enjoyed a lunch on our own in the Louvre mall area. I would recommend this tour to families! **Special note: There is lots of construction in and around the Louvre in preparation for the Olympics. At the time we went, it was complete gridlock and taxis could not get through which made us late to our time because we had to walk around the outdoor park to get to our meeting area. Our guide was very thoughtful and met us halfway so we could start out tour outdoors while making our way to the entrance. I would allow at least 15-30 minutes extra to get there depending on where you accommodations are located.
Highlight of our family's trip to Paris!
Lorien_B, Sep 2023
Tatiana was such a wonderful tour guide, led us through the Louvre with ease and great knowledge. Our 8 and 10 year old especially loved the tour and learned a lot from Tatiana. Highly recommend!
William was awesome.!
Colleen_L, Aug 2023
William was an amazing guide. We were late because of road closures all around our Airbnb and he ended up giving us metro directions and actually taking the train and meeting us to help us get there. The kids loved him!
