What to expect
Your guide will meet you inside the museum (you'll sort entry independently beforehand). Rather than racing through every wing, you'll visit carefully chosen rooms in a logical flow—starting with something visceral like Egyptian tombs, then moving through sculpture and painting galleries. The guide pitches explanations so teenagers aren't bored and younger children stay curious; they'll invite questions and let you pause at whatever speaks to your family. Two and a half hours covers substantial ground without exhaustion. You'll see the most famous works but also quieter, equally compelling pieces nearby. Expect to spend real time looking, not just ticking boxes.
Good to know
Arrive 10–15 minutes early to handle entry tickets at the main desk. Comfortable shoes are essential; the Louvre is vast and you'll be walking steadily. Children under 18 go free with ID; EU residents under 26 also qualify with proof of residency. The museum has cafés and water fountains. Mobile phone cameras are allowed; professional tripods and flash are not.
