Experience was wonderful. The guide was excellent and incredibly knowledgeable and provided in depth discussions on the art work. We would have missed so much if we were just on our own looking at the art.

Hamish, our guide, did a fantastic job providing the details and background of all of the famous pieces we visited. He knows his material and his history well.

Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and made the museum’s vast collection feel accessible and engaging. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the size of the Louvre, we were led straight to the highlights while still getting interesting stories and context along the way.

The guide Pierre Daveux is so good and professional in explaining the history and stories behind the master pieces. It is so much fun to be in his group. He is enthusiastic and passionate with his work. Great journey.

Pierre was an amazing guide! My husband and I enjoyed the tour so much. He was witty, extremely knowledgable, kind and efficient. We hit all the main points and never felt rushed. CityTours was also great with their customer service and booking was easy!

Had a really good time with the girlfriend. It was busy, but that was to be expected. Would definitely come back on a quieter day to get the real experience.

We arrived at our designed meeting point and easily found Abed, our tour guide, and the rest of our tour. Abed was amazing!!!! He was very knowledgeable, and made our 3 hour tour very enjoyable. He took us to the main exhibits and at the end informed us of what we could do if we wished to continue to look around the museum by ourselves, but by this time we were happy to leave the museum as we had seen all that we wished to see and our feet were happy to have a rest!

Great overview of the main pieces of artwork. Abed, our guide, is a wealth of knowledge. Be sure not to leave the museum interior because individual tickets are not issued.

Departure point
The meeting point is not at the entrance of the Louvre. Meet our team at the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. This huge arch features a horse-drawn chariot on top. With your back to the entrance of the Louvre Pyramid, you will spot it across the road, just before the entrance to the Tuileries Garden.Return details
