4.Paris Kids Louvre Treasure Hunt Private Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 28 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $359

Meet your private English-speaking guide at the Louis XIV horse statue by the Louvre Pyramid at 2 pm. Over two hours, children follow a treasure map through selected galleries, with puzzles, questions, videos, and a small gift at the finish. Guides such as Dina, Doina, Lulu, and Bertrand are especially skilled at keeping young children involved while adults learn too.

“We really enjoyed our guided tour. It kept the kids engaged and we learned a lot too. Our guide was very knowledgeable and engaging with the children. Our guide informed us that the entry process to the museum is evolving so one suggestion would be to meet at a meeting point inside the museum vs outside since it took us almost 20 min to get inside and that ate into some of our tour time.”

There were questions challenging enough for both of them. It is an exhausting yet very fun activity. If your family is not interested in listening tour guides and up for some challenge go for it. We really loved it.”
