We found Context easy to work with and our plans went smoothly. Our guide, Marine, was professional, friendly, kind, and a wealth of great information. She was extremely helpful in dealing with our request for a slower paced tour. We were very impressed with the whole experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our private tours are limited exclusively to travelers in your party. They are designed to provide a learning experience that is completely tailored to you and your traveling companions. Private tours give you more flexibility with scheduling (you decide when the tour best fits your trip), the ability to tailor your itinerary (we'll work to match the itinerary to the interests and dynamics of your group), and more personalized time with your guide.
Our tours happen rain or shine. Our guides are great at adapting their route during weather changes. Please bring an umbrella.
Our Louvre tours are capped at 6 due to venue reservation restrictions, which also helps your tour experience in order to best navigate the museum and crowds. Should you have a larger group, we suggest splitting into multiple groups.
Unfortunately, the Louvre has recently updated their policy regarding group visits. Guests who visit the museum as part of a guided group must remain with their guide at all times, which includes exiting the museum together. If you wish to visit the museum on your own after the tour, you will be required to purchase a separate individual ticket for re-entry.
If you have one of our pre-purchased tickets (or a Museum Pass), you will not be required to wait in any ticket line. There is a security checkpoint that all visitors to the museum are required to pass, and there is sometimes a line for this. Because we have advance tickets, we have access to a special ticket-holder security line, which is very short. Museum Pass holders also have access to this special line.
Certainly! Contact us to organize car service for the outdoor portion of the tour. The museum is indeed accessible.

Don’t just take our word for it
We accomplished more in one full day than we could have done in a week on our own. Professional and courteous guidance and advice made the day a wonderful experience. Highly Recommend. Thank you for a wonderful memory.
We had an outstanding day with Thibaud! His knowledge about Paris, the history and its unique stories is amazing. He curated a fascinating tour at the Louvre—from Greek art to the Renaissance and more. He was energetic, accommodating, and has an absolutely great sense of humor — seriously hilarious! Merci, Thibaud!
