Louvre 3-hour English guided tour from EUR 71.90: a non-EU passport with Dutch residence still gets the EUR 22 EEA rate

A weekend in Paris often leaves one morning for the Louvre, and the hard part is knowing which wing to head for once you are inside. This Tiqets product is a 3-hour tour in English with dedicated entry and a licensed guide to the museum's masterpieces, a smartphone ticket and a request to arrive 15 minutes early. It is rated 4.6 from 619 reviews on Tiqets, and the adult price changes by date and time slot: between 16 September and 15 October it runs from EUR 71.90 to EUR 132, with most slots between EUR 89 and EUR 127.

The Louvre describes its own Welcome to the Louvre tour as a walk past the remains of the palace's medieval moat to the Mona Lisa and the Winged Victory of Samothrace, with the history of the palace along the way. Since 14 January 2026 the museum has two ticket prices: EUR 22 for citizens or residents of the European Economic Area and EUR 32 for everyone else. The French page counts holders of a residence permit or a visa of more than three months as residents, and the Netherlands is on the list, so someone living here on a Chinese passport buys the EUR 22 ticket with a residence card.

For a first visit, with parents or with only half a day, three hours with someone leading the way is easy; if you only want a few famous works on a tight budget, do the sum first: the Tiqets price on your date - (your museum ticket + EUR 12 for the official tour) = what you pay extra for three hours with a private guide and dedicated entry. An adult living in the Netherlands on the EUR 71.90 slot pays 71.90 - (22 + 12) = EUR 37.90 extra; a non-EU visitor living outside the EEA pays 71.90 - (32 + 12) = EUR 27.90 extra. The official tour lasts about 1 hour 30 minutes, in English daily at 11:00 and 14:00 plus 18:00 and 19:00 on Fridays, but the museum ticket is bought separately, and this Tiqets ticket cannot be cancelled once booked.

• Young visitors check free entry first: under 18 of any nationality enter free, and EEA residents aged 18 to 25 enter free with ID and proof of long-term residence, so an official tour costs them only EUR 12, while the Tiqets adult price starts at 18. (source 3)
• Tiqets slots: bookable from 16 September, times between 09:00 and 18:45, English-speaking guide; prices differ within a day, for example EUR 71.90 at 10:00 on 20 September against EUR 110 at 09:00 the same day, so check the slot before paying. (source 1)
• Getting there: metro lines 1 and 7 to Palais-Royal / Musée du Louvre or line 14 to Pyramides; under the French Vigipirate security rules every bag must be opened for inspection. (source 4)

Hokimi field note: with a non-EU passport and a Dutch residence permit, carry both; the Louvre price list adds a EUR 15 fee on top of the ticket for buying the wrong ticket type, so check that your residence card is still valid before you choose the EUR 22 rate.
