Uncrowds is a premium travel brand for seeing iconic places without the crowds: private tours, after-hours access and storytelling experiences, where access meets creativity. Paris first, with Barcelona, Lisbon and Prague. Your group only, never strangers.
For most groups, yes, and the math helps. Four people pay €890 for the Louvre evening, about €223 each, with tickets, a licensed guide for you alone and pickup from your hotel. A shared tour costs less per head, but you share the guide and the pace with strangers.
It depends on the hour, and we say so. The Louvre and Versailles visits run in public hours, with fewer crowds than at midday. On our visits after closing the venue is closed to the public, and your group is never merged with another. At sunrise the famous squares are almost empty.
One price for your whole group, all in: your private guide, entry tickets on the Louvre and Versailles visits, and hotel pickup in central Paris on every Paris experience except sunrise. The Opera Garnier is a private visit, per group, all in. Paris sunrise tours include a French breakfast.
Your own guide, for your group only: licensed guides at the Louvre and Versailles, one of the Opera's own guide lecturers at the Opera, and a host for the 1920s evening. Every Paris experience runs in English or French; the Louvre, Versailles, the Opera and sunrise tours also in Spanish, and the Louvre, Versailles and the Opera in Italian.
After you book, Nicole or Emma contacts you personally. On the day, one of them or another of our concierges meets you in your hotel lobby in central Paris and takes you to the venue and your guide: on foot if it is close, otherwise by taxi or metro, or by train to Versailles. Fares are not included. Sunrise tours start at their meeting point, shown when you book.
Yes. Each experience has its own terms, shown on its page and again before you pay.
Yes. The Louvre visit welcomes all ages. For the other experiences, each page shows the minimum age; tell us their ages when you book.
