Editor's take

A private guide lets you shape this 2-hour Louvre visit around your interests. Tour Across Worlds suggests the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Coronation of Napoleon. With English guiding and starts from 08:45, it suits you if you want a say in the route.

An 08:45 start means meeting outside before the Louvre opens at 09:00. The shared option costs €168, takes up to six people and starts at 15:30 or 18:00. For a full refund, give at least 24 hours' notice before departure.

Does Tour Across Worlds' six-person Louvre option start early?

3 options. Prices are per adult for a party of two, the usual lowest price of each option. The booking page shows the price for your date.

Tour Across Worlds's own description of the tour.

This tour caters directly to the unique experience of each private group. We understand that for many of you, the louvre is a once-in-a-lifetime experience and we hope to make it memorable and fun. Our local and licensed guides (by the French Ministry of Culture and Tourism) , while extremely knowledgeable and professional, are very engaging and go beyond simply stating historical information by adding context and fun anecdotes.
