Louvre Private Guided Tour: The Essentials and More! (w/ Tickets)

Absolutely must do!!!

We had a private tour of the Lourve, it was worth every cent! No stress joining the lines, our guide took care of everything. The highlights tours was wonderful, we saw the popular pieces with such a detailed description. There is no way we could have enjoyed the Lourve without our guide Justine!!!!!

Louvre historical tour

Excellent tour of the Louvre. They combine much world history as you move through time viewing period pieces. Definitely recommend this tour.

Amazing private tour in Louvre

Incredible tour of the Louvre—the best ever! Very informative and easy to understand. Truly private tour! Outstanding! Clara was exceptional!

Outstanding tour of Louvre

The private tour really was private—and our guide Wallid was incredibly well-informed and patient to explain everything! One of the best tours ever in over 60 years of traveling!

This private guided tour of the Louvre was an enjoyable interactive learning experience.

This was an awesome experience! Our small group of 4 met guide Andrea for a Louvre private tour in front of the Equestrian stature. Easy to find him and then we were off on what was a fantastic Sunday morning tour. We entered through a back entrance quickly with 0 line. Andrea was full of knowledge! Best of all he made it fun for us to learn a little about the Louvre, art outside and inside. He told stories of artistic periods and the artists styles. We did see the Mona Lisa but that wasn’t the best part. We had fun learning by playing a game to seek/find pieces of art from clues he gave us. We experienced how perspective could change based on different viewing points, and so much more. The interactive viewing was a nice way for us to learn a little bit and better appreciate what we were looking at. Our guide patiently and expertly gave explanations and answered our questions, he also knew just where to guide us to see key pieces with the least traffic. It was an enjoyable experience and our 2 hr. time together went by quickly. A few days after returning home from an awesome trip to Paris, we received pictures taken by our guide of the memorable experience at the Louvre.

Great Guide

Our guide, Andre Ruggiero, was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He made what could be a “stuffy “ experience into one that was educational and fun.

Last Minute Louvre Guided tour

Our guide Justine was very knowledgeable and gave us a thorough trip and I formation. We enjoyed and learnt a lot. What we realized was that there are ways to get into the Louvre last minute and still have a great experience. I believe a guided tour of Louvre is the best way to see the Louvre unless you speak French very well and unless you are an art critic yourself. The tour was expensive but worth the money. We did not feel hurried and the start and finish were right on schedule.

Best Tour Guide and Company EVER!!

Walid is THE BEST! We did 3 1/2 day outings with him and loved every one! He did a great job sharing highlights, history and hidden gems. I would absolutely recommend him with 5 stars. He made our entire trip.

Excellent Guide, tour too short.

The tour guide was excellent and provided exactly what we expected from the tour. The issue was the line to enter took up half of the time allotted for the tour. In addition, this tour should be 4 hours. 2 is simply not enough to even get a glimpse of the Museum.

Best tour EVER

Our tour guide he was the most memorable part of the trip. We love Art, I love Art unfortunately I don’t know everything about it. Our tour guy was a walking encyclopedia when it came to everything that was in Louvre. He made it fun & educational. It was truly a private tour. I would recommend this to anyone.

Has to be the BEST

Considering the queues due to the eiffel tower was closed on this day, walid knew all the secrets of the louvre to make this a once in a lifetime experience. As I would consider myself knowledgeable in travel don't book or look at any other tour. This has to be booked and through this company. All credit to Walid and please forward this exemplary review.

Fantastic Louvre / Passageways / Latin Quarter Tours with Walid

My parents were visiting from the US and our tours with Walid were one of the highlights of their trip. We booked the Louvre and the Passageways tours to start, and ended up booking the Latin Quarter for the last day of my parents' visit. His knowledge of history is unparalleled and his passion for sharing his knowledge is clear. Walid was a gracious guide; extremely accommodating with my father, who has mobility issues, and very flexible with scheduling. We will definitely be recommending Dayin to anyone looking to explore Paris :)

Perfect

Our tour guide was great…lots of very intriguing facts. Very knowledgeable and charming Our group was small so we could hear well and ask questions. Kind to our need to sit a bit.

Excellent guided tour and tour guide

Hamish was most excellent as a guide. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining as he explained the key aspects of the tour to us. He handled the insane crowd and the terrible heat and didn’t miss a beat. I would recommend him and this guided tour to anyone.

Great Tour: Our guide, Walid, was great!

This was an exceptionally tour of the Louvre. Our guide, Walid, was very knowledgeable, and guided us to not only the hotspots of the Louvre, but also to other interesting exhibits. It was a lot of fun, going chronologically from the ancient times all the way up to more recent times. It was really the highlight of our trip. Highly recommended.

The Louvre organized.

'Walid' was our guide; quite knowledgable and had organized the tour nicely. Good amount of info and history.

Great experience!

Hearing the knowledgeable guide talk about everything shown, especially the most sought after displays.

One of the best tours in Paris!

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Wei. My kids, aged 15, 13 and 10 were utterly engaged the whole time. Wei was so knowledgeable and he told us so many interesting facts. This tour was absolutely one of our highlights in Paris. Thank you so much Wei!

Awesome and fun!

Everyone in our family loved the Louvre because of this tour. It was entertaining and we all learned something new. 10/10

Amazing entertaining and learning experience

Our private guide Walid, was very knowledgeable and arranged the tour so we could understand the history or the Louvre and also the development of civilisation and the art and artifacts through the ages.

Great private tour!

Our experience was fantastic! Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and took us around the museum to all the pieces we wanted to see!

A rip off

We had a wonderful guide… Who was worth her weight in diamonds. But we purchased a four hour tour, for US$450 and the tour only lasted for two hours… I am very disappointed in Viator and I would not recommend any further business with them when it comes to their Louvre tour… The tour was specifically advertised for four hours hours, and not two! I want a refund for the two hours that I did not receive. Shame on Viator!… I hope our tour to the Chartes Cathedral tomorrow is not cut short.

Great, small Group Experience

My husband took this tour by himself and was pleased to be the only one in the tour. He came back to the hotel raving about his experience. He said the tour guide was exceptional and he saw parts of the Louvre he had never seen before.

The best tour I’ve ever had

We were quite satisfied with this tour. We can’t imagine that we could have memorable experiences at the Louvre museum. Our guide who is Walid is so nice and friendly guy. Also, he is quite knowledgeable about art and history. He can give us an effective and enjoyable content of your like a story telling. Also, he recommended some great spots, some restaurants and tourism places. I believe everyone could have a great moment at the tour. Merci!

The Louvre in October 2023

Wei was a great tour guide. We saw all the major attractions we were hoping to see at the Louvre in just a short 2 hours. The nice thing is there was only one other couple with us, so it became a private tour. Highly recommend.

From Egypt to Italy... Awesome

My guide Justine was very knowledgeable and we had an amazing time looking at the sculptures and Renaissance paintings. Definitely checked my bucket list!

Excellent tour with Wei

Wei was an excellent guide. We really enjoyed our time with him at the Louvre. He was patient and very considerate of my elderly parents. We did a private tour with Wei which was worth it. He is knowledgeable, easy to listen to and knew all the great spots for pics! Thank you Wei!

Amazing your guide - great for people w disabilities

Our tour guide Walid was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. His knowledge was incredible. One of our party is wheelchair bound and he was able to move us around the museum with ease. Walid provided with facts on various periods and tie them into modern day examples( tying past to present). we were a multi generational group and the manner in which he told details wowed us all!! Walid - thank you again for patience / humor and insight!!!

Knowledgeable tour guide, lots of walking, and great experience overall.

Wei was nonstop since the moment we met him - little anecdotes, knowing the right entrances, and answering our questions. The tour was small - just four of us - allowing for an intimate experience and ample time. Be prepared to walk quickly, but it is a necessity to make it through all the amazing things.

Great experience even with three kids!

Traveling with three kids, I thought we wouldn’t make the 2 hour tour. But, we did, Wei our TG made it a smooth, knowledgeable and great experience! Thank you so much.

Great tour!!

Wei was a great guide!! We had a lovely afternoon with him he was very knowledgeable and we breezed through all the lines too.

A clever guide. An unforgettable visit !

Our guide was very knowledgeable. Precise, entertaining and very educational, he knew how to make us discover the Louvre differently without drowning us in front of the many galleries and works of art to discover. Thus it allowed us to discover several centuries of art and marvelous works of art (it's Le Louvre!) in a short time. We keep excellent memories of him and all the discoveries he made us enjoy.

Hamish from Dayin was a great Louvre guide!

Our tour of the Louvre Museum was fantastic! Hamish, from Scotland, was our guide and he really knew his history. He showed us the highlights and gave us some insightful details that made each piece of art come to life. If you have never been to the Louvre, a guide from Dayin will help your day go smooth and stress free. Even with the crowds, I was not worried because I was getting a great overview and was able to revisit the areas that interested me after the tour. For example, we skipped the Mona Lisa line and returned after the tour to see her up close. That allowed our guide to include more information which was great.

An A+ tour of the Louvre

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. The tour was not too long and covered the major highlights.

History & Art

The tour was full of history and facts about the buildings in addition to i formation about the art itself.

Awesome guide and trip to the louvre

The louvre was amazing so was our tour guide. He was able to discern when to give us info and when to let us explore seamlessly .

Louvre Small Group Tour with Sonali

I loved this tour as there were only 6 of us in the group and the time was later in the afternoon when there is less crowds in the museum. Sonali our guide was knowledgeable and on time. The tour company also communicated well via messaging app to ensure we are where we need to be. Meet up point was easy to locate. I would highly recommend this tour for first timers! Katrina, Melbourne

Great for your first visit to Louvre

We’ve enjoyed our tour with guide Sonali. Being very polite and attentive she told us a lot of interesting facts about Louvre, took us through the basics mixing with details and fully answering on all questions. Even our teenage kids listened to her carefully. Great experience! Thanks once again!

Small group

There were only 6 in our group, plus our guide, which was a wonderful experience. Much better than being in a group so large you have to wear headphones to hear explanations. We were taken to the highlights, and then had time at the end of the tour to see a few other things we missed.

A crisp and engaging tour of Louvre

Louvre in itself can be quite intimidating, especially for the first time. But Walid and Dayin made it quite a pleasant trip. In a span of 2 hours he took us through a large section of Louvre spanning hundreds of years of history and kept us quite engaged. The group size was 6 and it was easy to follow. While we were on a tight schedule, it didnt appear as such. I would highly recommend this.

Friendly and patient tour guide

We had a bit of problem locating the tour guide at meeting point of tour as he arrived on time but not 15mins early as per the instructions given to us for our arrival and also he did not hold Get Your Guide signboard/banner at meeting point. So we had to go round asking the guides that were already there if they were from Get Your Guide. Good thing he and we finally found each other. Despite the initial hiccup, the tour went smoothly and the guide was friendly and patient, responding to the questions we have. He is also very familiar with Louvre and is very knowledgeable. Overall, a good tour.

Walid was perfect: ...

Walid was perfect: Punctual, Knowledgeable, Friendly, Patient. That is perfection in my book. We will definitely use him next time we are visiting Paris and recommend him to our friends who may travel to Paris.

Great way to see the Louvre

We booked this tour as there were no tickets for the days we were going. When we arrived the line at the Louvre was the longest the Guide had ever seen. We decided to reschedule for the next day and have a tour with a small group instead of waiting several hours in line. This worked out great as the next day we were able to walk right in with our tour guide. Walid was very knowledgeable and highlighted many special works of art and artists in the Louvre. He answered all of our questions and had many wonderful stories about the artists, kings, and emperors who reigned in France and added to the building of the Louvre and the art collection. After the tour you had the option of staying to walk around and see more on your own. I highly recommend.

Book it!!

This tour was truly enjoyable and excellent. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and showed us the highlights of the museum and also told us about various pieces of art that were unscheduled but that we were curious about. Highly recommend.

Personal and Informative: Great tour of the Louvre

Couldn't recommend this tour enough. We were navigated through the enormous Louvre complex and were brought to incredible highlights. Each stop had great information and all of our questions were answered.

Best day at the Louvre!

Take a tour with DayIn, you won't regret it! The Louvre is a must-see of Paris, but also so big it's rather intimidating to navigate. With Walid as a guide, the entire visit was fully stress free, and so much fun! Walid is truly an impressive guide. He expertly toured our small group through the museum to see all the top sights (and more!) in a way that felt more like a leisurely walk with a friend who just happened to know a LOT about French and art history. I learned so much and the group was so nice to hang out with. I'd been to the Louvre several times before, but this experience was truly the best one I'd had yet (not having to navigate maps and queues makes such a difference...) - Thank you DayIn for an unforgettable day in Paris!

Great Tour with Walid!

Thank you Walid! Your enthusiasm, kindness and knowledge base made this tour enjoyable and well worth it! What a great experience!

Nice small group to enjoy the Louvre

I really enjoyed this tour of the Louvre! I wanted to catch the Mona Lisa and other great artworks without spending too much time looking for them. It was a great idea to book this tour, I got to meet lovely people and enjoy the museum without being trapped in a big group.
