Excellent guide left us wanting more
Pamela_F, Sept 2025
Tour was led by a knowledgeable and entertaining guide. We enjoyed the tour very much but wish it had been just a bit longer with more paintings.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Hello Pamela, we do list the tour as showing you the Louvre's highlights in an hour and a half, which across 403 rooms, and 8.5 miles of corridor, means that the guide must make hard choices as to what to include. We do show you the pieces that make the Louvre the Louvre: which includes such works as the Victory of Samothrace, the Mona Lisa, The Venus de Milo, Liberty Leading the People, and more, while stopping off to see some lesser known gems en route from one to another of the masterpieces. We do offer a custom tailored tour for those who want more than we can address in the time given. Perhaps we'll see you on one of these? We hope so!
Great experience at The Louvre
Tania_O, Sept 2025
I had a great time on the tour. The guide was wonderful, she was upbeat, friendly and knowledgeable. She did a great job keeping the tour moving.
Response from Host, Sept 2025
Hello, Tania! We just love skipping lines for you and sailing you through those halls straight to the Louvre's Best-Of, not forgetting the discovery of lesser known gems along the way. Thank you so much for choosing to explore the greatest museum ever with Memories!

Such an experienced tour guide! My daughter who went to Italy this summer said it was best tour guide she has ever had. Well worth seeing and having someone who knows all the stories to bring what you’re seeing extra special.
