What should you check in a private Louvre tour price?

Check admission, route, duration, group size, guide language and cancellation terms for the exact option you plan to book. A tour listing can contain several options, so keep the price and inclusions together.

An official admission ticket covers the permanent collections and temporary exhibitions. Exhibitions in the Hall Napoléon need their own time slot.

Paid admission is €22 for citizens or residents of the European Economic Area. Visitors who are neither pay €32, unless they qualify for free entry.
