Hello! My husband and I are visiting Paris July 1-6. We would like to schedule a tour of the Louvre with the museum staff. I understand these tours are very hard to get. As of now, May is completely booked. Nothing appears available in June yet. Does anyone know how far in advance these tours are offered? Thank you!
Yes, it's very unusual that every English "Welcome to the Louvre" tour is sold out through May. It would appear that some sort of IT problem or trick/bot is affecting the availability. I wonder how many of these tickets might be showing up for sale through the big-name consolidators that sell to the English-speaking public. As a comparison, tickets are available for the same tour, but in French, as soon as tomorrow.
Hate to do it, but it might merit a phone call. I will report back.
Tried today to book a tour and nothing was available for any date or language. I tried Safari as well as Chrome. The tickets worked just fine... only the group tour seems broken.
