What to expect
Your guide meets you at the Louvre and spends two hours navigating the museum's principal galleries, explaining the stories behind celebrated pieces and directing you to works often missed by casual visitors. Expect a brisk but informative pace through crowded rooms—the Louvre draws crowds, particularly around famous paintings. After the guided portion, you're free to exit and board the hop-on hop-off bus at your convenience. The bus loops through Paris's main neighbourhoods, allowing you to jump off at gardens, monuments, and districts that interest you. This isn't leisurely museum browsing but rather a structured introduction followed by independent exploration.
Good to know
Names on your booking must match your ID exactly—the Louvre's fraud procedures are strict, and mismatches result in refused entry with no refund. Moderate fitness required; the museum involves considerable walking and standing. Bring a fully charged phone if using the audio app. Under-18s and EEA residents under 26 get free museum entry with valid ID and proof of residency.
