FAQs
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. There are short flights of stairs throughout the tour. If mobility is an issue, please indicate this when booking your tour.
Photos are allowed and encouraged during the tour. However, many pieces, including the Mona Lisa, have strict regulations which prohibit the use of flash photography.
We understand plans change. We offer a 100% refund up to 24 hours prior to your tour start time. If you’re unable to make this tour, we also offer rescheduling to another date free of charge, pending availability of tickets. Please keep in mind there are no refunds available if you have already rescheduled your tour.
Our tours run rain or shine, so please check the local forecast to plan. In rare cases when we have to cancel for extreme weather, we’ll offer you the chance to reschedule or give a full refund.
Tips are always appreciated but never expected. They’re a great way to tell your guide they did an awesome job and show your appreciation.
