Editor's take

Two museums fill Babylon's 5 hours 30 minutes: the Louvre followed by Musée d'Orsay. The shared English option is limited to six people and includes admission to both. Choose it if you want guided introductions to both collections within one day, starting at 10:00.

Wednesday to Saturday are the listed days, and the shared option is not wheelchair accessible. Temporary exhibitions are excluded, and Babylon requires the group to leave with its guide. The general inclusions mention eight guests, but the option you book specifies six.

Does Babylon's Louvre and Orsay tour have a private option?
