What does a private guided Louvre tour include?

A private tour reserves the guide for your party; a semi-private option shares the guide with other visitors. Every option selected here includes admission, and everyone still passes the Louvre’s security checks.

How much is a private tour of the Louvre?

Napoleone’s 2-hour tour starts at €169.38 with admission included, the lowest private price listed here. Prices are per adult for two people booking together, using the usual lowest rate over the coming months.

Is a private Louvre tour worth it?

It can be, if you want the route adapted to your party’s interests, as Dayin offers. If you prefer exploring independently, admission alone costs €32, or €22 for EEA residents and citizens.

Which private Louvre tour should I choose?

Start with Babylon’s English private option if the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory are your priorities. Dayin gives you 4 hours for a longer visit; Fat Cat’s alternative deliberately leaves out the Mona Lisa.

How much is a private Louvre tour at night?

€290 covers AWESOME GUIDE’s private evening tour and timed admission. Starts are at 18:00 on Wednesdays and Fridays, during public opening hours. The advertised duration is 3 hours, though gallery clearance begins at 20:30.

Is there a private Louvre tour for families?
