Editor's take

At 18:00, AWESOME GUIDE starts a private tour through Sully, Denon and Richelieu, advertised as 3 hours. English is among the languages offered for your party’s guide. The listing combines Italian paintings, the Coronation of Napoleon and Marly courtyard sculptures, suited to an evening across several collections.

Wednesday and Friday departures use the Louvre’s normal late opening, when rooms clear at 20:30. That leaves less gallery time than the advertised duration, so check the operator’s arrangements. Transport is excluded, and full refunds need cancellation at least 24 hours before departure.

When can you book AWESOME GUIDE’s Louvre evening tour?

1 option. 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.
