Works equally for a Mona Lisa sprint or an off-the-beaten-path wander. In our comparison: #14 of 62 in Louvre Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview This tour caters directly to the unique experience of each private group. We understand that for many of you, the louvre is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we hope to make it memorable and fun. Our local and licensed guides (by the French Ministry of Culture and Tourism) , while extremely knowledgeable and professional, are very engaging and go beyond simply stating historical information by adding context and fun anecdotes. The private tour is highly customizable so whether you're interested only in seeing the Highlights such as the Mona Lisa or you're looking for an off-the-beaten experience or a mix of both. Whether you're looking for an overview or an in-depth historical experience. This tour is designed for first-timers and return visitors alike. ## Before you book - Meeting point: In front of the Pyramid at the Louis XIV… - Entry ticket included: skip the ticket desk - Group size varies by option: small group from €168 · private from €248 - 16 start times: between 08:45 and 18:00 - Food not included: bring or buy your own - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €119: ages 3 to 10 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €168 per person for the Semi Private option - up to 6 option; other options up to €248 - Duration: 2h - Rating: 4.94/5 from 168 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Tour Across Worlds - Group: Group size varies by option: small group from €168 · private from €248 - Guide languages: English - Tickets: Admission included - Start times: 16 start times between 08:45 and 18:00 - Booking: mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-03 ## Reviews 4.94 from 168 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 98% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 165 of 168. - 5 stars: 163 (97%) - 4 stars: 2 (1%) - 3 stars: 2 (1%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 1 (1%) ### What reviewers say Guides earn praise for tailored art explanations and efficient navigation, though reviewers also mention crowded galleries. **Praised:** - Stories and historical context that make the artworks easier to understand - Efficient routes through the galleries to the main artworks - Private tours tailored to visitors' interests and preferred pace - Interactive explanations that keep children and teenagers engaged **Complaints:** - Busy galleries and crowds around the main artworks Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2025-04-29 to 2026-10-01); last checked 2026-10-03. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Semi Private option - up to 6 | €168 / person | English | Semi-Private Tour : This option allows you the possibility to share with other travelers inn a maximum group size of 6 Duration: 2 hours | | Louvre Museum at Night - Late | €248 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Night at the Museum: Visit Eiffel at night, a very different experience with the least amount of people in the louvre.
