Skip the Long Lines with Paris Museum Guided Tours

Paris has the best museums in the world — and we're not the only ones who think so. In fact, the most popular museums in Paris get over 7 million visitors a year — in each museum! With that many people you can be certain that there are going to be signficant line-ups at the popular museums, no matter what time of year you go. Since you're in Paris for such a short time, you really don't want to spend all of your time in lines, do you?

Neither do we. That's why we like booking a tour at one or two of the most popular museums in Paris. There's nothing like that feeling when your tour guide walks you right past the ticket line-ups. Your expert guide takes you to the best of each museum, and talks about the history of the art and artists. We think it's the best use of your museum Euros!

Skip-the-Line Louvre Art Museum Tours

9.3 million people a year visit the Louvre, so you can always expect a long waiting time.

We'll repeat that — 9.3 million! See that line to the left? That's fairly typical on a busy day.

But, if you plan ahead, you can skip the lines by booking a Louvre art museum tour. We've shortlisted the best of the tours of this, the most visited museum in the world.

Given our tastes (to use an apt expression), our personal favorite is this evening Louvre tour plus a wine tasting. That's right, art and wine, together at last.
