The Experience

The moment you realize your eight-year-old has spent the last twenty minutes staring at the Mona Lisa asking actual questions about it—not because she has to, but because your guide just told her something that made it click—that's when you know this private Louvre tour is different. Most families show up, get swept into the crowd, and spend half the time managing logistics instead of actually looking at art. This tour flips that. You arrive with your guide, skip the entry line (the €28 ticket is already included), and walk straight into the 1st Arrondissement galleries while everyone else is still figuring out which queue to join.

The guide knows how to talk to kids without dumbing anything down. You'll see the Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa, obviously, but the stories woven in—the weird facts, the interactive moments—are what stick with them afterward. It's 2.5 hours, which is long enough to actually breathe and look, short enough that nobody's feet are screaming by the end. The whole thing is private, so your family sets the pace. If your teenager wants to linger in front of something, you linger. If your younger kid needs to move on, you move. No one's herding you along.

One real constraint: you have to arrive on time. The Louvre doesn't let anyone in late, and you can only enter with your guide, so if you're running behind, the whole thing falls apart. That said, the museum occasionally closes without warning—if that happens and it's more than an hour past your start time, they'll arrange an alternative, though refunds don't apply. Also, no large bags or suitcases get through security, just handbags or small backpacks. Some rooms inside have quiet zones where your guide will brief you before you enter.

Strollers are fine if you have little ones, and the whole place is wheelchair accessible. If you're booking a wheelchair-friendly version, make sure you choose the private option—the semi-private tour doesn't offer that accommodation. You'll need to give them a mobile number with the country code when you book, and dress code applies (nothing too casual). Kids under 18 and EEA residents under 26 get in free with valid ID, which saves money if that's your situation.

Top questions

Is the €28 entry ticket really included?

Yes. The adult Louvre ticket (€28 value) is included in the tour price. Children under 18 and EEA residents under 26 get free admission with valid ID, so those tickets don't apply to them.

Can we bring a stroller?

Yes, infants and small children can use a pram or stroller throughout the tour.

What if the Louvre is closed on the day of our tour?

If the museum closes and reopens more than an hour after your scheduled start time, the operator will arrange an alternative experience. Refunds and discounts don't apply in these cases.

Are large bags allowed inside?

No. Only handbags or small thin backpacks are allowed through security. Large bags and suitcases are not permitted.

Is the tour wheelchair accessible?

Yes, all areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible, and transportation options are wheelchair accessible. However, wheelchair-friendly tours are only available as private tours, not semi-private ones.

What if we're running late?

Arrive on time. The Louvre strictly does not allow late entries, and you can only enter with your guide. If you're delayed, you won't be able to join the tour.

How many people will be on the tour?

This is a private tour, so it's just your family and your guide. No other groups are included.

Do we need to dress formally?

Appropriate dress is required for entry. Nothing too casual, but you don't need formal wear—just respectful clothing.
