Meeting point
The meeting point with the guide is given in your booking confirmation; do not go straight to the museum entrance. — The boat leaves from the Pont de l'Alma, a few minutes from the Eiffel Tower.
What each part of the combo includes
The combo has two parts that do not happen at the same time. The first is a 1- or 2-hour guided tour of the Louvre, depending on the option you choose, with museum entry, reserved access, an accredited English-speaking guide and headsets. The second is a ticket for a Seine river cruise. After the guided tour you can stay in the museum on your own, but if you leave the wings and go down to the hall under the Pyramid you can no longer go back to the galleries.
- Louvre — 1- or 2-hour guided tour in English, group of up to 20 (or 6 on the small-group option), with entry.
- Seine boat — Open ticket, valid any day for 6 months; departures roughly every 30 minutes from the Pont de l'Alma.
What order to do it in and how much time to allow
The time you book is only for the Louvre guided tour, and it is only valid that day at that time. The boat has no set time: the ticket works on any day in the following 6 months and departs roughly every 30 minutes, 7 days a week. The pier is at the Pont de l'Alma, next to the Eiffel Tower and not by the Louvre, so you can save the boat for another day when you are in that area. The Louvre is closed on Tuesdays, so there is no guided tour that day.
Price vs. booking separately
The combo costs $81 per person. The Louvre ticket alone costs €22 for EU/EEA nationals or residents and €32 for everyone else, and the museum's official guided tour costs €12 more, on top of the ticket. In other words, separately you would get entry and the official guided tour for €34 or €44, without the boat. What the combo adds is the boat, the English-speaking guide and the booking done for you. One of the 10 recent reviews says the boat bought on the spot cost half as much.
The terms worth reading before you pay
The listing carries two messages that do not match: the key details show a full refund if you cancel 24 hours ahead, while the important-information section says the tour is non-refundable and cannot be rescheduled. Check the policy shown at the payment step before booking. Also, if you arrive late you cannot be given the ticket, because it is a group booking. Kids need their own booking. Suitcases, selfie sticks and double or non-folding strollers are not allowed, and the tour is not suitable for wheelchairs.
Who it makes sense for
It makes sense if it is your first time in Paris, an English-speaking guide suits you and you want to sort out the Louvre and the boat in a single purchase. In summer the listing warns the museum is busier than usual. If you would rather have a guide in another language, or you are traveling with minors who would get into the Louvre free on their own, you are better off booking the museum and the boat separately.
