Does the tour include museum admission?

The listing shows a private guide service starting from EUR 450. Confirm whether museum entry is included or separate when booking, as this varies by supplier package.

What if I'm interested in specific artworks or periods?

Since this is a private tour, you can request your guide focus on particular areas—Egyptian antiquities, Renaissance paintings, modern sculptures, etc.—when you book or contact your guide before arrival.

Is there a minimum group size?

No; the tour is private and booked exclusively for your party, whether that's one person, a couple, or a larger family group.

Can I skip queues even though the Louvre is very crowded?

Private guides often have expedited entry procedures, but standard security screening and bag checks still apply. Your guide will navigate you efficiently, but arrive with realistic expectations during peak hours.

What happens if I want to spend more or less time on certain artworks?

Your guide sets the pace and content; you can ask to linger on works you love or move quickly past others. The 2.5-hour window allows flexibility within that timeframe.

Is this tour wheelchair or mobility-accessible?

The Louvre has accessible routes and elevators, but the museum is vast and involves walking. Contact your guide or the supplier in advance if you have specific mobility needs so they can plan an appropriate itinerary.

our guide Leila was brilliant and the hidden crypt the guide unlocked was the highlight, and last day of the trip.

our guide Joseph was nice enough, but the carvings on the main temple wall felt a bit rushed honestly. On a rainy sunday. Expected more, our seville tour was better value. Bit disappointed ngl, skipped two ticket queues, no joke

Is okay only. the frescoes inside the chapel was nice but feel rush, and Giulia the guide hard to hear sometimes. The tour in Athens was more better.

our guide Dmitri really knew their stuff and the view from the old fort ramparts was the highlight, and honestly better than the tour we did in Porto last year, tbh
