Louvre Pyramid: Tours & Tickets

Our amazing guide Adam made the Louvre, both the structure and the artworks, come alive. Adam is not only very smart, but creates a really great group atmosphere and is very entertaining. He also made an effort to understand each person's country and cultural references to align the info. The Mona Lisa was really well done, but Adam did an excellent job of showing us other key pieces from the Venus de Milo to the Sphinx & Leonardo's best work (hint, not the Mona Lisa) and linking it up historically to give you the Big Picture context. Excellent tour and I'd ask for Adam if I was you!

Our guide overall was excellent and did a great job getting us to the important works, as well as explaining the history of various parts and pieces. She pushed us through the lines when needed and was very practical. She was also very personable and friendly, and added many interesting details to areas of the museum and specific art items. I know there is a lot too see in such a short time, but the pacing felt uneven - a bit rushed in some parts, lingering in others. I would personally rather see the Mona Lisa on my own instead of wasting valuable guide time waiting in lines.

We took the 2.5 hr highlight tour of the Louvre. 2 mothers and 2 teen/tween daughters. We met w the group(of 23). Our guide was informative, humorous and moved us along well. He had tremendous patience and got us to all the highlights in the right amount of time while making sure everyone kept up. Myself and my daughter tend to glaze over at the 2 hr mark in a museum so this was perfect and got everything in that we wanted to see there. It would hv been hard without a guide. The Louvre is too big and far too crowded to maneuver everywhere in that amount of time. It was great!

Our guide was amazing - helped us navigate a crazy, busy place to ensure we saw the highlights. Fast-paced tour as the crowds were insane - our guide kept us together and informed. Sometimes we felt like we were running through the Louvre. Glad we bought in advance as they stopped selling tickets at one point during the day due to the immense crowds. The only way to see this place is via a guided tour. Our teenagers loved this tour as it covered the highlights.

Didn’t know till we arrived to pick up our tickets that we had to have 60 euros on us for 2 headsets for the audio guide. The audio guide is just ok, honestly we got our money back after but wasn’t worth the hassle of carrying it around. But other than that it was easy and quick to enter.
