Louvre Museum Guided Family Treasure Hunt

We had a wonderful time with Amy our guide. She made it so fun and easy with my eight year old. The Louvre is so big and can be daunting, we got a wonderful little glimpse of it, perfect to keep my daughter interested and excited to be there and see the art.

Marcella, our tour guide, was interesting and very knowledgeable. She quickly got 9-year-old grandson engaged in the treasure hunt, and he asked many questions. His Mom and I (Mamaw) raved about the tour and would highly recommend! The two of us had been here before, but we learned

We had Marcela for our tour guide of the Lourve. We were a big group of 6, 4 adults & 2 kids (ages 10 & 6). Marcela did an excellent job of taking us around the Louvre and explaining the history of the art pieces. She was able to keep the adults and kids engaged. My daughter was set on seeing the mummy at the museum, so Marcela took the time after our tour to take us to the mummy. I would highly recommend MTL for a tour of the Lourve, as it is a huge museum with a lot of art!

Our guide was Justine. She was very friendly and knowledgeable. She kept my kids engaged throughout the whole tour and even gave them a little puzzle and key chain souvenir at the end. This tour was more kid oriented so if you are looking to expirence more, this might not be the tour for you. However, it was perfect for my family with kids age 7 and 10. My kids are still talking about it!

Yael was wonderful! The kids had the very best time. She was super engaging and knowledgeable. The children loved the scavenger hunt and the grown-ups enjoyed the guidance and care. Wonderful experience, overall.

The tour company was great and our guide Laurine was amazing. Laurine made the treasure hunt/art history experience memorable for each of my kids and for us adults. She was able to meet my kids at their different developmental phases (4 year old and 7 year old), had a different booklet for each of them, and was so interactive. Thus my daughters loved her and loved learning about the art work and history and were able to walk for 2 hours in the Louvres (something that they usually whine about). The communication with the company was very reliable and seamless. I would definitely use the company again for our family travels.

Perfect way to see the Louvre with our 3 children ages 6, 9 & 11. The scavenger hunt book kept the kids interested and moving through the museum. Two hours was perfect time and flew by. Highly recommend

We did multiple tours in Paris and London over ten days with seven family members of three generations. It would not have been possible without the expert assistance starting with Dominique, who planned our visit and Sonia in Paris and Catherine in London, who were excellent guides. They engaged the teenagers and made sure the grandparent using a wheelchair was accommodated. Every tour was informative, well paced, and fun! They took such good care of our group, making adjustments as needed for traffic, kids' jet lag, etc. The kids' favorites were the Street Art and Baking Macarons workshops in Paris and the speedboat on the Thames in London. Everyone loved the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Tower of London and Hampton Court. There was just the right amount of history and fun facts to keep everyone going. Thank you to Meet the Locals for making this a trip of a lifetime for our family.

We booked the Family treasure hunt private tour at the Louvre, timed entry. Our tour was suppose to start at 9am. Our family arrived on time at 8:45am. Our guide was a little late, few min. We waited to enter and then proceeded. Our tour didn’t actually start until 9:20am and it was suppose to be for 2hours. Our tour ended at 10:55am. I was expected actual two hours with our guide exploring the Louvre, and instead we got 1.5hr. She had an activity book for my two young ones but basically ended it went the 2hr window was over. Beware it’s not actually two hours, but they include the time it takes to enter. I also had a teen louvre tour booked for the same time. We were a large party and the tour guide on that one had to check in her battery for her bike and we all entered at the same time. She also finished about 11:15 am (only 2hours instead of 2.5hr). I think the guide should have been able to show more and explain more. And for what the company charges, I felt it was very expensive and I didn’t get what I paid for. Beware that your actual tour will be shorter than the time listed.

Just wanted to drop a quick review letting everyone know how my family and I highly recommend the Louvre, Sainte Chapelle, Tuktuk Paris tour - special shout out to our guide, the amazing Lauren. My kids absolutely loved the treasure hunt at the Louvre. We did a handful of other tours during our Europe trip and this was by far the best.

Fantastic experience with Marcella. We got to see the highlights and we were engrossed throughout. Really peeked the interest of me children. Highly recommend.

Great way to explore the Louvre with kiddos! Tetiana was a great guide and made it a lot of fun and informative for everyone!

Two hours would never do justice to the Louvre of course - but we chose this to ensure our 13 and 11 year olds got a feel for the place whilst not missing out any of the most famous exhibits. Cindy was very personable and knowledgeable about the museum and its contents, as you would expect. She did an admirable job maintaining a level of enthusiasm and engagement with two children who had not slept enough the night before. For the purpose for which we purchased the tour, I would not hesitate to give it five stars. One point which could be made clearer is that you may still need to spend 20+minutes at the start clearing security as the entry tickets get no special treatment - which was a little disappointing given the price of the tour. Other than that minor niggle - five stars and highly recommended as a first taster of the Louvre.

The six of us, four adults and two young children, recently visited Paris for six days. We wanted to visit both Musee d Orsay and the Louvre. We didn’t want to spend most of the time waiting in lines and we wanted a plan to see the good stuff. So we engaged Meet the Locals to guide us. A wise choice At the Musee d Orsay Fernanda was our guide. As an employee there she got us through the lines and knew the place like the back of her hand. Her English was perfect, she was personable and knew her subject matter. She explained the great works with just the amount of background to keep us all engaged. An outstanding young lady! At the Louvre we signed up for the Treasure Hunt to engage the grandkids. Our guide was Tatiana. She completely captivated our grandchildren. They were excited about the hunt, had fun and learned a lot about the art. Two days well spent producing a lifetime of memories.

Excellent family experience!! Jessica was amazing. Our boys were engaged and very much enjoyed the learning activities. We were able to see many of the key works of art in a well organized set of activities. One of the highlights of our family vacation to Paris.

We were so happy with our Meet the Locals reservation experience. It was very easy to set up the private family tour about a month before our trip. We communicated via email and paid ahead. On the days leading up to the tour, we received confirmation emails and then the day before, we received information on where to meet, along with a landmark outside of the museum. Marcel was our tour guide and she was right on time. She was lovely! She took us to the line (tickets were purchased on our behalf ahead of time) and we were inside in no time at all. We did a 9:30am tour and we liked being on the early side, less crowds. Marcela made the tour interesting for me and my husband and our 12 year old son. She was very knowledgeable! Highly recommend!

It was a wonderful way for our children to explore the Louvre! They went though it all looking for the clues and learning along the way. Our guide was so kind.

Cindy was amazing!! She was the perfect tour guide for our family!! Kids had a blast and we saw everything we wanted too.

So glad we signed up for this tour!! Kids loved it! Cindy was fantastic with our children and really enjoyed the activity book! Would highly recommend for families!

Phillippe was wonderful. Unfortunately my son was very tired, but the adults enjoyed the tour very much and learned a lot.

It was my son’s birthday, We had an amazing guide her name is Cindy, she is great with kids, kind lovely and very good explaining to kids, she brought as a gift teddy bears and a booklet, We had an issue with the museum because we gad a stroller and the elevator wasn’t working and security didn’t let us go inside. Cindy got frustrated and at the end my sister stayed outside the museum with my baby while the others enjoyed the tour. We are very pleased we met cindy.

Cindy was great with the kids! Very manageable amount of walking and info for an 8 and 10 year old. Our kids had a great time, and we did too!

Our tour guide Cindy was amazing! She had the graceful patience and knowledge of a great teacher. Our kids, 11, 8, and 5, were all jet-lagged yet interested. She skillfully kept their attention in a place full of distractions and sights. Every piece of history was fed with a helping of entertainment, even to the adults. All of us were engaged and eating every word. She even taught our daughters how women danced in the Renaissance and helped them all complete their booklets, which they were particularly attached to. We highly recommend this activity and in particular, Cindy!

Our tour with Cindy was amazing! She did a great job keeping my daughter engaged with the tour even though Leo is not fond of museums. The Activity Booklet really helped to give her something to do other than just listen passively. My daughter had only two goals for the Louvre: to see the Mona Lisa (easy) and to see a painting of a cat (not easy). Thanks to our guide we accomplished both plus a lot more. I'm not sure I would have even tried to take Leo to the Louvre without Cindy, but with her help we had a great experience!

We had a wonderful morning at the Louvre with our guide Perrine. She made the exhibits and works of art understandable and interesting to our twin 6 year-olds. The treasure map and games also held their attention and gave them a fun activity to do after. Perrine had the best demeanor and knowledge of the art and how to relay it to young children. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND it!

Our guide Laura was amazing with the kids! The Louvre scavenger hunt only way to go with kids. Our 9 year olds loved and were engaged for the length of the tour

This company is amazing. We used them in Paris and London and both were awesome. So engaging with our kids and helped us navigate our first trip to Europe. We truly felt like we had the very best tour guides available. We booked 2 tours with other companies and absolutely regret not using Meet the Locals for those as well. Chris was our guide in London and Laurine in France. Both far exceeded our expectations.

This is an awesome experience. Phillipe was an extremely knowledgeable and most importantly enthusiastic guide with loads of experience! He was able to keep our 7 year old son engaged and entertained. The insider knowledge of the

Our host was wonderful. Even though we made a mistake in the booking (our fault), she was able to smooth it all out and get us in at the scheduled time. She really connected with our 9 year old. She even helped her get a special view of the Mona Lisa. THe game was fun and entertaining for our daughter and she actually enjoyed the museum, Our whole family had a wonderful time.

Marine’s warm demeanor, knowledge of the museum, and patience with our children was excellent!!! We loved learning all about the museum and its history! Highly recommend (our kids are 6, 10, 12, and 14) and everyone had fun!

We had a great time! Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the museum really fun for everyone. The puzzles and clues were a very cute way to explore the Louvre.

Our whole family enjoyed the Louvre Treasure Hunt with Marcela. The activity books and questions kept our young kids happily engaged, and the adults learned a lot too. We visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art a couple months later, and our kids were pulling knowledge and insights from the tour and applying them to what they were looking at in their hometown museum!

We had a great time! Our guide made the louvre easy and fun for us and our 7 year old daughter. We definitely recommend!

Great experience with Doina as our guide - kept my kids engaged and us too! The Louvre is huge and the tour covered the highlights . Well worth it!

Our group had a senior citizen, a couple of parents, an 8 yr. old and a 13 yr. old. Marcela managed to entertain and educate everyone. Her background in Art History was amazing and she was wonderful engaging the kids with not only the art, but the building history as well. Highly recommended!

The actual experience of the hunt and the way it was conducted. The teens thoroughly enjoyed learning and seeing so much in a fun way.

Our tours were incroyable! We did 3 tours - Marais Sweets, Louvre Treasure Hunt and Versailles. Our sweets tour was my daughters’ favorite part of our Paris trip. The Louvre and Versailles were crowded and overwhelming. Having an age appropriate, focused tour made it interesting and fun for the girls. History came alive for them at Versailles. Their one complaint was that we didn’t do the Eiffel Tower as a Meet the Locals Tour! I would absolutely recommend Meet the Locals to any family visiting Paris with kids.

I signed my Mom, my 9-year-old daughter and myself up for the Louvre Scavenger hunt. It was my daughter’s favorite activity in France! Our guide, Laurine, was fantastic. Request her! Laurine was so engaging with my daughter and really made the museum “come alive” for us all. She was also very considerate of my 83-year-old mother and some of her mobility issues. I was extremely pleased with our Meet the Locals experience.

We had a fantastic tour with Nathalie at the Louvre. Started out as a parenting fail, as we arrived at 1pm with 3 hungry and already tired kids (13, 11, 8). Nathalie enthusiasm was able to revive them and we had a fantastic tour. The scavenger hunt was entertaining as well as educational and was at a level appropriate for both my 8 and 13yo. Nathalie was so patient with the kids and answered all of their many questions. She was also able to describe and explain things at a level they could understand but also kept my husband and I interested and informed. The kids say it was one of their favorite experiences in Paris and we have already recommended it to others.

We visited Paris with our children ages 9 and 12 for the first time at the end of June 2022. I can not think of a better way to see the Louvre than with Phillipe of Meet the Locals. He was attentive to the children and the adults. He made the experience engaging for all. Even though one may argue that the 12 year old was aging out of the scavenger hunt, he enjoyed it because there was lots of history to learn. Thank you Phillipe!!! Also I would add the communication with the company before the event and the day of was spot on. Thank you.

Absolutely fabulous!! My kids LOVED it!!!! Would definitely book again!! Our 8 and 10 year olds loved it and guide worked so hard to keep them engaged!!

Having Jessica as a guide. And the Greek mythology history she taught us . And of course the kids were excited to see the Mona Lisa.

We did a two-week tour through Europe and this was my daughter’s favorite activity. Sean was an excellent guide; teaching all of us things we never knew about the museum and the beautiful works of art within. He focused a great deal of energy on our 10 year old daughter; enthusiastically connecting with her like few tour guides could.

The treasure hunt through the Louvre was one of the best things I have ever done with and for my family. My kids loved every minute and are still talking about what they learned, what was their favorite part and what they would like to see again on our next trip. Our guide, Jessica, was extremely knowledgable and friendly and a great fit for two kids (ages 10 and 7). She kept them engaged and made the museum feel accessible and fun. Can't recommend this tour enough!

The tour with Ariane was wonderful. A+ ! That response was from my ten year old granddaughter And I agree whole heartedly. Ariane was knowledgeable but also made the tour fun and engaging. The scavenger hunt element was a hit but, just as important, was Ariane's interaction with, and attention to, my granddaughter and, I might add, me as well. She helped both of us to really see the works of art and helped us understand the context. When I wanted to stop and see Leonardo's "The Virgin of the Rocks" which was not on the scavenger hunt list, she was very accomodating and took the time to explain and compare it to the second version of the painting by Leonardo and, again, drew Eliza into the discussion. Eliza and I visited a number of museums and churches. Our trip to the Louvre was one of the high points from my perspective and from Eliza's.

First big bonus is being able to get around the lines that can take forever to get in. Only took 10 minutes to get inside. It's a perfect length for kids and you see some incredible parts of the Louvre that you may miss without a guide. Roseanne engaged with the kids and they learned a lot, saw a lot and had fun. If you are going with kids I would highly recommend this.

We had an amazing tour!!! Loved skipping the lines and our guide Philippe made the tour very interesting for the kids. We highly recommend!!!

The best way to see this immense museum with kids. The experience was a lot of fun and we also learned a lot!

Wow! What an extraordinary way to see the highlights of the Louvre! Our tour guide, Nathalie, was lovely and accommodating. Our son (age 10) was at the tail end of a 10-day globetrotting adventure and his energy was waning. Nathalie engaged him with the treasure hunt activities and found a way to make the experience meaningful for him and us, the parents! She keyed in on his interests and needs and masterfully navigated the overwhelmingly large museum. We felt at ease among what could have felt like chaos. One thing I especially want to acknowledge is that I can feel a little rushed and frazzled when traveling with a kiddo whose clock is ticking, and I will always appreciate the way Nathalie helped me stop in front of the Mona Lisa to really take in the moment rather than just check it off the list and get the photo opp. She recommended a great nearby Salon de Thé that we put on our list for our next visit. Scheduling and communication with the company was easy and detailed! Worth every penny to have this experience if you want an efficient, child-friendly overview of these masterpieces!
