FAQs
How much walking is there?
There is about 1 mile of walking at a very leisurely pace. Elevators and escalators are periodically being repaired and may be closed for service and therefore can be unpredictable. If mobility is an issue, please indicate this when booking.
Are there lockers available?
Yes, there are lockers available for rent inside the Louvre. Your host can help you find them.
Can I take photos inside the museum?
Photos are allowed inside the museum. However, many pieces, including the Mona Lisa, have strict regulations which prohibit the use of flash photography.
What is the rescheduling policy?
We understand plans change. You can always change your tour 24 hours or more before you tour. We offer a 100% refund up to 24 hours prior to your tour start time. Within 24 hours of your tour, we would have incurred hard costs and therefore cannot allow rescheduling or cancellation without costs.
When should I get there?
Plan to show up 15 minutes early. The tour starts promptly, and you may not be able to catch up if you arrive late.
Are gratuities included?
Tips are always appreciated but never expected. They’re a great way to tell your host they did an awesome job and show your appreciation.
