Itinerary
Your family tour starts outside the Louvre, where you'll meet your private guide and learn something about the history and the architecture of this huge building.
You'll enter the museum with prebooked tickets. The Louvre truly has something for everyone in the family, and your guide keeps the kids enthralled with interesting facts about the history of the museum and its works of art, for instance, the fact that the Louvre was built in the 12th century and was originally a fortress and palace. With your guide leading the way, see the works of major artists like Géricault, Canova, Delacroix, Bernini, Michelangelo, Ingres, and Ghirlandaio. Perhaps you'll also see the Crown Jewels or the Napoleon III Apartments, depending on your interests and availability of masterpieces. Of course, you probably won't want to miss Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, as well as other famed masterpieces such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace and Venus de Milo. You can decide if you want to go for a 2 hour or a 3 hour tour, depending on the needs of your kids, and what you see can be tailored to your preferences and the ages of your children.

Traveler reviews
Engaging Louvre tour for families of all ages
Our Paris Muse Louvre tour with Eva was one of the highlights of our time in Paris! We have a large family with seven children (12 years to 7 months), and Eva was absolutely wonderful. She was warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, keeping both the children and adults interested throughout the tour. What impressed us most was how effortlessly she navigated the Louvre. We visited during the Paris heat wave, when some museum entrances were unexpectedly closed and conditions were constantly changing. Eva quickly adjusted our route and even rearranged the order of the tour to help us minimize heat and crowds. Her flexibility and familiarity with the museum made what could have been a stressful day feel seamless. Our children asked lots of questions and were engaged from beginning to end. Eva did a fantastic job bringing the artwork and history to life in a way that was enjoyable for all ages. We highly recommend Eva to anyone looking for an outstanding family guide!
Great tour for families!
I booked 2 private tours for 9 of us traveling together (4 adults and 5 teens/kids). Louvre only allows 6 per group for a private tour so we had 2 guides - Helene and Joanna. They were both PHENOMENAL!!! They were incredible story tellers, kept the kids engaged and shared unknown facts the adults enjoyed learning. Would highly recommend this tour for a quick run down on the highlights!
Highly Recommended Tour!!
This experience was FANTASTIC!!! Helene was so knowledgeable and engaging. I have a special needs daughter and she was so wonderful with her. She was a great story teller and focused on all the highlights to keep the kids engaged. 10/10 recommend - it was our favorite tour on our European vacation!!!
The tour was fantastic,...
The tour was fantastic, shortened to the essentials for the sake of our kids. Our guide, Alberto, did a fantastic job of engaging them and teaching them and making them truly excited to be there. He also was very knowledgeable and able to answer my more detailed questions. Absolutely worth the money in every way, we all had such a great time.
Must do if you have children with you
This was an awesome experience. Anna did a wonderful job engaging our grandchildren (ages 8 and 5). They loved the tour and learned a lot. Anna may be the best tour guide I’ve ever had.
