Louvre Museum Guided Tour Options with Timed Entry
There are many ways to experience the famous Louvre. Choose your favorite!
You can explore at your own pace with a timed-entry ticket after taking a guided walking tour around the exterior and gardens of the Louvre. On this tour option, you’ll learn what the Louvre was before it was the world’s largest art museum, and you’ll see sights like the Tuileries Gardens, the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, the Cour Carrée, and more. It’s a great intro to your self-guided visit inside the museum.
If you prefer to go with a guide, opt for our guided group tour inside the Louvre. We also offer a small group tour option with no more than six guests, where you'll get even more dedicated time with your guide, who can customize the tour to your interests. Your expert guide will make sure you not only see the best works — the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, the Crown Jewels, and more — they’ll share the history and stories behind the artwork to enrich your experience and make your visit truly memorable.
