Louvre Tour: The Museum's Own Guide vs 14 Listings We Priced

The Louvre's own guided tour costs EUR 44 with a non-EEA ticket. We priced 14 tours and tickets on Klook and KKday, group options too, on 23 October 2026.

Short answer: of the tours we priced, the cheapest guided Louvre visit is the museum’s own. Its English “Welcome to the Louvre” tour costs EUR 12 on top of the ticket: EUR 44 in total if you are not a citizen or resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), EUR 34 if you are. The lowest guided price we could confirm on a Klook or KKday listing’s own page is EUR 72.45, read with no date picked. The online tours cost more, but they offer more start times, and some cap the group at 6 to 15.

We checked two traps before you book: some “from” prices are the price for EU residents only, and two KKday listings at EUR 79 sell a host who walks you to the Mona Lisa; KKday’s page says this is not a guided visit.

We read 14 Louvre listings on Klook and KKday and 2 pages of louvre.fr on 2026-10-23, and took a screenshot of each. Where a listing sells group-size or guide options, we clicked each one and took a screenshot of its price.

What does the museum’s own tour cost?

The museum sells its own guided tour, “Welcome to the Louvre”, for EUR 12. Entry is not included, so add the ticket: EUR 32 from outside the EEA, EUR 22 for EEA citizens and residents. That makes EUR 44 or EUR 34. The tour lasts about 1 hour 30 minutes and runs in English at 11:00 and 14:00, and also at 18:00 and 19:00 on Fridays.

What you buy on louvre.fr EUR
Ticket, visitor from outside the EEA 32
Ticket, EEA citizen or resident 22
Ticket, EEA citizen or resident under 26 free
“Welcome to the Louvre” guided tour, full price 12

We read these prices on louvre.fr on 2026-10-23. The page says that every visitor on a guided tour must also buy a ticket, unless entry is free for them.

  • Languages: French, English, Spanish and Italian.
  • English times: every day the museum opens, at 11:00 and 14:00, and on Fridays also at 18:00 and 19:00.
  • Meeting point: the groups reception area inside the museum.
  • Group size: the page does not give one.

The museum’s tour has no booking link on this page, because we earn nothing from it. Book it on louvre.fr.

Big group or small group: what does the size cost?

Pick the big group if price matters most. On the four Klook listings with a group choice, the prices we checked after clicking each option show a group of 6 costing EUR 24.10 to EUR 60 more than a group of up to 20. Of these four, the skip-the-line tour has the lowest big-group price, EUR 89 (EUR 98.10 on most dates), EUR 45 more than the museum’s own tour for a visitor from outside the EEA.

Which tours keep the group small?

Pick the Klook morning tour for a small group with a stated cap: 1 to 10 people, 3 hours, 10:30 to 13:30, EUR 125.35 (ticket and fee not confirmed). We checked the others: the quiet-time tour states up to 15, and the walking tour lists groups of six at 14:45 and 18:30. The Klook small group tour, EUR 156.40, gives no group size, only a limit of 6 per booking.

We compared the morning tour’s EUR 28 ticket line with the museum’s own page: EUR 32 for visitors from outside the EEA on 2026-10-23, which does not match. Ask Klook what the price covers before you book.

Host or guide: what do you get for EUR 79?

Book the EUR 89 guided option if you want a tour. We checked both KKday listings at EUR 79: KKday’s page says this option is not a guided visit, but a host who takes you through the entrance to the Mona Lisa, and then you explore alone. The first listing also sells a guided option for EUR 89, with the ticket and an English-speaking guide ticked. The second sells only the host.

Reserved entrance and a host to the Mona Lisa 79 no

Only the ticket: which price is yours?

Check which price is yours. We compared both prices on each ticket listing: some “from” prices are the EU price. The KKday ticket shows from EUR 36.36, the price for EU citizens and residents. A visitor from outside the EU pays EUR 47.73, EUR 15.73 more than the museum’s EUR 32 for others. The Klook entry with a host costs EUR 56.35 for EU citizens and EUR 67.85 for others; its page says UK and Swiss passport holders pay the higher price.

We read both prices on each page on 2026-10-23. The listings say “EU” or “European”; the museum says “EEA”.

An audio guide instead of a guide?

Take the museum’s own audio guide if you do not need a person: it costs EUR 6. The KKday audio app costs EUR 6.49 and does not include a ticket: its page says to buy entry separately. With the museum’s ticket, either one comes to EUR 38 or EUR 38.49 for a visitor from outside the EEA. That is EUR 5.51 to EUR 6 less than the museum’s guided tour.

When is the Louvre open?

The Louvre closes every Tuesday, says its hours page. It opens 09:00 to 18:00 on Monday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, and 09:00 to 21:00 on Wednesday and Friday. Last entry is 1 hour before closing. Entry is free for everyone on the first Friday of the month after 18:00, except in July and August, and on 14 July.

On 2026-10-23 the museum’s page also announced a one-day closure on Saturday 24 October 2026, with refunds for that day. Check the page for closures before you book.

What this page could not check

  • We have not joined any of these tours or the museum’s own tour.
  • The museum’s tour page gives no group size.
  • Klook prices with no date picked are its “from” prices per option. We read the date prices only for the next six to seven dates.
  • Klook’s suggestion boxes show the cultural and walking tour “from EUR 69”; on its own page the lowest date price we read was EUR 74.75.
  • We left out two Chinese-language tours on KKday, and we did not read Louvre tours on other sites.
  • Ticket prices can change. The museum’s prices above are the ones its page gave on 2026-10-23.

More for a Paris trip

  • Day trips from Paris: 14 tours to Mont-Saint-Michel, Giverny, Versailles and more, with each option priced.
  • Florence tours: the same question for the Uffizi and the Accademia, what a guide adds to the museum ticket.
  • Colosseum tickets: official ticket prices against the tours that resell them.
  • Paris food tours: 14 tasting walks in Le Marais, Montmartre and Saint-Germain, priced per tasting.

How we made this page

We open each Klook and KKday product page in a browser, read the price, the hours, the group size and the cancellation rule, and take a screenshot. Where a listing sells group-size or guide options, we click each option and screenshot the price it shows. We read the museum's own prices on louvre.fr on the same day. Prices are the euro figures the pages print, so no conversion applies. We do not copy seller text, and we have not joined any of these tours.

Research and first drafts are AI-assisted. Every figure comes from open data listed on the page with its source and date, and a person reviews each page before it goes live.
