Avi was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and likeable. He gave us history on the art and history of The Louvre, but also made it entertaining as we strolled through the museum. We wanted to see the highlights and didn’t have a lot of time so this was a perfect tour

Excellent tour, perfect for families without much art knowledge and with kids (who get bored very quickly). We saw "la crème" of what Louvre has to offer guided by a PhD in Art no less. And French too, which made the whole experience even more authentic.
Speaking of our guide, if ever there was a real "Emily in Paris", we found her on our tour. She came in the form of an art expert, aptly named Emily who made the whole thing very very enjoyable.
If this company continues to employ people like that we highly recommend them.

Our tour guide, Wei, was wonderful! He shared just enough stories, history and background info to give us helpful context while also keeping us moving at a good pace. This was a great tour for first time Louvre tourists.

My friend Alice and I had the pleasure of taking this tour with "Team Adam" last week. I am still thinking about how professional, incrediby knowledgeable and humourous Adam Von Eichmeyer was. Not only was he passionate and enthusiastic about the subject matter, he engaged with the group, remembering our names and would ask questions throughout the tour to get us to think about all the wonderful art we were seeing on the tour. This made it so much more enjoyable as he didn't spend the entire time talking at us. Never had a better tour guide!

Nice way to visit the Louvre,

After a moment of confusion about timing, our tour guide Ramona did an excellent job showing exhibits that were on the top priority list as well as giving us a thorough explanation of historical references and background information on the artists. She gave the group opportunities to compare other pieces by the same artists before we headed into crazy crowds around major pieces. Thanks Ramona!

Amehd was such a pleasure to tour with! He was so excited to teach the history of the art and the museum. He and my partner could have gone back and forth all day about the history of the art. He was extremely knowledgeable, on time in the meeting location, and was all around a joy to have as a guide.:)

Friday night tour meant Louvre was busy but not a madhouse. Earpieces and receivers worked well. Group expertly navigated through entry etc. Tour started at uncovered walls of original building on site and architectural history was covered along with the displays inside. Real highlights tour - great “bang for your buck”.

I use a wheelchair. Can I take this tour?
Yes, Wheelchairs can be accommodated. This tour has around 1.7km or just over 1 mile of walking. Please wear comfortable shoes.
What can I bring inside the Louvre Museums?
Please note that the Louvre will not allow large items inside the museum, so you should bring only a small daypack or handbag. More specifically, only bags smaller than 21.5 in x 13.5 in x 7.5 in (55 cm x 35 cm x 20) cm are permitted. Suitcases and large bags must be left outside.

Do I need to bring an ID with me on this tour?
Yes! Please ensure that all members of your party, including children, have a valid ID on them on the day of the visit.
Can you guarantee that I will see every room in the Louvre listed here?
We can't guarantee it, but it's very likely. As with all museums, particular galleries of the Louvre may be closed without prior notice, or pieces may be removed for restoration or loan. In this case, your guide will make an appropriate substitution. However, as the pieces and the rooms we visit on our tour are the most important in the museum, these are the ones least likely to close or leave on loan.
