Enter the Louvre with reserved access, see celebrated masterpieces, and add Eiffel Tower access and a Seine cruise with the all-included option.

About this tour

Step into the Louvre’s vast collection with reserved access and a host to help you find your way through its celebrated galleries. Meet at the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, then enter the museum for an orientation route through highlights spanning thousands of years of art and history.

Look for Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the palace’s medieval foundations, and the royal jewels in the Apollo Gallery. The route also features ancient Egyptian and Etruscan collections, French masterpieces including Liberty Leading the People, and the grand sculptures and decorative arts of the palace. After the orientation, continue exploring independently at your own pace. This is a hosted entry experience rather than a guided tour, so the host does not provide commentary.

Choose the All Included option to add elevator access to the Eiffel Tower’s first and second floors and a Seine River cruise with commentary. Whether you focus on the Louvre or pair its galleries with Parisian views from the river and tower, this Paris Louvre Reserved Access experience makes it easy to shape your visit. Arrive early, wear comfortable shoes, and enjoy the city’s landmark sights.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 3.50 from 44 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 5.2.
