Paris Private Louvre Museum, Must See, 1H30 Tour.

9.Paris Private Louvre Museum, Must See, 1H30 Tour.

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 914 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.)

A 90-minute private English Louvre tour from the Pyramid. See the must-sees with a guide, plus tips for buying €22 tickets.

“Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly but instead of getting a 1.5 hour tour of the museum, she rushed us through in only one hour and did not provide us with a map of the museum for us to use later. Nor did she try to highlight other areas that we could go to on our own. Given the size of the museum, more information should’ve been provided as to what we could do on our own and we really should’ve been given the full 1.5 hours with the guide.”

Our guide was all you could ask for, knowledgeable, friendly, flexible and a good story teller. We had a delightful time despite the poor weather. He made us want to return one day and meet more Greeks.”
