it's interesting to present paintings and sculptures - for my grandson's first discovery of the Louvre, he appreciated it - the commentaries are quite complete - on the other hand, the visit was conducted at a fast pace. we'll be back to visit the Egyptology department - I recommend it
- Excellent presentation

I recommend this activity! All the teenagers present listened and asked lots of questions.

it was perfect, no difficulty at any time, the guide was top and I would gladly recommend this activity.
- Great experience for teens
Written by Yasmine MONESTIER, 02-11-2024
I recommend this activity to discover the Louvre with a professional guide. You get to see well-known and essential works of art, but in a limited timeframe that's perfect for teenagers. A great first approach to discovering the Louvre.
- Quality guide
Written by Louisa Sadi HADDAD, 01-11-2024
Astrid, a guide who knew how to select relevant works and explain the interest of each work to teenagers. A question-and-answer game that got the kids involved. A quick 2-hour visit! Bravo Astrid.
- Original, documented discovery of masterpieces
Written by Martine Matignon, on 27-10-2024
Perfect for everything!
- Bof
Written by Jeanne , on 27-10-2024
Too large a group (25 people) Explanations not entertaining or attractive enough for teenagers. In the end, we missed the works. Not a very enthusiastic transmission. Fortunately, it's always a pleasure to go to the Louvre. And you still learn things.
- Excellent time for teens and parents alike
Written by Eve Coomans, 30-09-2024
The guide, Nathalie, is fantastic! Thanks to her, my 13-year-old daughter discovered eras that were still unknown to her. The mix of explanations of the works of art and life at the château was also surprising. A visit to recommend without hesitation!
- A good first approach to the Louvre
Written by Karine Toujas, on 29-09-2024
Thank you to Nathalie, the tour guide, who managed to interest my 2 teenagers and us too! A great way to learn about the vast Louvre museum, its history and major works of art, a real success! It's a pity that time went by too quickly!
- Nice visit!
Written by Jeanne DELTRIEU, 09-09-2024
Friendly and punctual guide. It was a bit short in my opinion. A 2-hour tour would have allowed you to see 3 more paintings.

Very pleasant and informative visit. The guide made an effort to control her rate of speech, which enabled the foreign correspondent to follow along well. Perfect, thank you!

I had two children, and apparently the story for the youngest (9) was too easy for his taste. For the older one (11), very good.

Great visit with a very friendly, dynamic and competent guide. Our teenagers (12 and 15) found it hard to keep up with us in the museum and had a great time.

I don't recommend this activity with the guide I had. We didn't get much explanation for the few works we saw.
- Very interesting visit
Written by Marie CHARTOIRE, 01-05-2024
A group visit of around twenty people (parents and children) guided by Marie, who was very friendly and interesting. The explanations of the major works in the Louvre were fascinating, and the museum was almost empty at night. Very satisfied with this visit.
- A bit disappointing
Written by Claire Berillon, 27-04-2024
The website isn't very clear - I wasn't expecting a visit for 25 people. If I had known, I would have taken a guided tour in the morning to enjoy the museum afterwards. The tour presented only a few works, passing by many others without any explanation. Nevertheless, the teenagers learned a lot about the works explained. It's a problem of presentation of the offer on the site.
- Very inadequate service
Written by Marie-Martine Expilly, 23-04-2024
Madame, In any case, the performance you have proposed is of a very low standard. I'm a retired art teacher. I used to teach as a certified middle and high school teacher, so I think you should update your knowledge of the teaching skills of your service providers. We can't be satisfied with superficial anecdotes that aren't backed up by arguments in the face of works that are known to all. We thought we'd learn something, my grandson and I... But nothing... The price you're asking is unjustified. What's more, when we spoke to one of the parents, we thought we'd booked a lecturer attached to the Louvre and not to a company based in Lyon. Your site borders on an online scam. Kind regards. More to come: check your copy.
- Very good
Written by Alice Lepez, on 22-04-2024
This is the 1st time I've chosen the 7 p.m. slot (I've been there before with other little children at the 3 p.m. sessions). It's great to be able to get close to the Mona Lisa! Marie enthralled my 2 teenagers: a bit of a humorist, solid knowledge of course, and a great ability to adapt to the participants. It's a pity that time flies. I'd have preferred a 2-hour slot.
- Very nice experience
Written by Sandrine, on 17-04-2024
A great experience, an effective way to see and above all understand some of the Louvre's masterpieces without getting too crowded. We recommend it.

Many thanks! What a great experience, both for the children (aged 14 and 8) and the adults. A fun, rhythmic way to discover the Louvre and its most famous works. After 3 days in Paris, my children's unanimous opinion: "When are we going back to the Louvre to discover the rest, with the guide?" A great time shared
- A wonderful visit
Written by Sylvie GUERRIN, 08-03-2024
Well done to our guide Cyril. A highly instructive visit with a playful twist, perfect for captivating children and adults alike. My 3 grandchildren (16, 14 and 12), whose first visit to the Louvre was their first, didn't see the time go by and are ready to do it all over again. I highly recommend this activity to anyone with teenagers.

I'd like to recommend Cyril, who was able to captivate both teenagers and adults with this fast-paced, information-packed tour. We lost no time and are ready to repeat the experience at the Louvre or elsewhere, such as the Palace of Versailles?

Hello, We really enjoyed this visit as our guide was very interesting and, what's more, extremely kind and attentive. Unfortunately, we didn't get to do the whole tour as there was a security problem at the Louvre and we had to wait a long time to get back. We had a TGV to catch to Brussels, so we were only able to attend half of the tour, but we'll keep an excellent memory of it. We will certainly recommend it and my grandson hopes to be able to do it again on another occasion. Yours sincerely Françoise Stévenart
- Visit too short, few works seen
Written by VALERIE , on 01-03-2024
The visit was cut short when a fire alarm went off. A lot of waiting and, in the end, few works seen, which makes for a very expensive visit.
- Good guide with interesting comments. What's missing are teenagers asking questions.

This tour of the great works of art at the Louvre for teenagers is a success! Super interesting and adapted to its audience. A must!
- First steps at the Louvre
Written by alice LEPEZ, on 26-02-2024
- how can it be that no "group" access is so fluid.... waste of time when everything has been anticipated in terms of organization = question the way the Louvre works and discuss with them the "entrance search", which should provide several stations/access (including at least one specifically for groups) and more checkroom lockers. Indicate at the time of "registration" that, given the above contingencies, the total time to be spent is 2 hours! Very good performance by our "guide", neither too short nor too long. We saw all the "essential" works No difficulty in booking or during the tour. Perhaps at the end of the tour, or during the course of the tour, we could indicate which potential sequels should be accorded to specific rooms or parts of the Louvre, so that we could learn more about a particular aspect during a subsequent personal visit. Yes, this visit deserves to be "recommended" and carried out. It's a great way to discover the Louvre and whet your appetite for all the riches to be found in this immense museum.
- An interesting visit for all
Written by Cécile de SAINT ALBIN, on 25-02-2024
Yes, I'd recommend it for teenagers, but some of them lack historical knowledge and would need more historical explanations. Having said that, I'm not sure it would interest them more. I found that on the whole they were attentive and that for us parents and grandparents there were new things, even though I've been to the Louvre many times. Reservations were no problem.

The tour guide, Pauline, was very interesting and well-suited to her audience. She was attentive to everyone, including the set-up (changing rooms, toilets, etc.) before the visit itself. Good choice of works. Perfectly organized: reminder e-mail, explanation of meeting place... Only the queue to enter the museum (before the controls) was a little long. I thought groups had priority! Yes, I'd highly recommend it: my 14-year-old grandson was delighted with the visit.

It was very interesting. The kids really enjoyed it. It wasn't a foregone conclusion. We finished 15 minutes early. It's a shame we didn't get to see an extra work.

We had a very pleasant and appreciated visit with our guide Cyril. He knew how to interest the young people with a vocabulary contest on art at the end, well taken from the beginning of the visit. No secret, by dint of repeating the words, they remained anchored! My 14 year old daughter liked it very much, and so did I. I recommend...
Many thanks for the two teenage visits to the Louvre (Cyril) and Pompidou (Marie) this week. They were really great. Without being reticent, my daughter Pauline (15yrs/2nde) was a little sceptical before the visit, then totally won over afterwards. So much so that she asked me to sign her up again with some friends (without me 😉 with a signed waiver!). We look forward to hearing more about your proposals in 2022! The girls would love to have visits on the history of fashion and clothing, on design or contemporary art. Or on a specific artist (Manet/Morizot/Rodin/Picasso/Dali/Utrillo etc...) or a Montparnasse or Montmartre district... Thank you for whetting Pauline's curiosity and motivating her desire to learn! Looking forward to seeing you next time... Claire Marie
