About this tour

Step into the Louvre, a former royal palace where masterpieces span centuries, and see the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory of Samothrace. This Paris Louvre priority access experience pairs timed entry with a host to help you reach the museum’s celebrated works, then lets you explore at your own pace with a multilingual audio guide.

Trace the Louvre’s royal history from Louis XIV to Napoleon and wander through collections ranging from Ancient Egypt and Greece to the Renaissance. Depending on the option selected, you can combine your visit with an Orsay Museum ticket, a Seine River cruise, a 24-hour Tootbus pass, or an Eiffel Tower experience. The visit is hosted rather than fully guided, so the audio guide offers context as you move through the galleries. Download it to your smartphone at check-in and bring headphones.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.33 from 3 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 6.9.
