What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the museum entrance at your scheduled time—arriving late means missing the tour, as the Louvre won't allow stragglers. The guide will lead your small group through the museum's highlights, weaving in stories and historical context around each major work. The pace is deliberate; you're not power-walking. Certain rooms have quiet zones where your guide explains before you enter. Expect some crowded passages near famous pieces, though your guide knows the flow. You'll need moderate fitness for standing and walking; pushchairs are fine for infants. No large bags allowed—handbags only through security.
Good to know
Arrive early; the museum won't admit latecomers. Bring only small bags or handbags. Wear comfortable shoes. The tour requires a minimum of two guests to run; if numbers drop below that, you'll be offered an alternative or refund. Museum closures do occasionally happen without warning.
