Louvre

A guided tour keeps you from getting lost in a huge museum. To compare a guided visit with a plain ticket, read Louvre: official ticket or guided tour. If you prefer a 3-hour tour with fast entry, see this 3-hour Louvre tour with quick entrance (partner link: we earn a commission, at no cost to you; the guide's language is chosen on the page, so check that Japanese is offered). Page: the Louvre.

Versailles

Versailles is a day trip from Paris: see visiting Versailles from Paris and the Palace of Versailles. A Japanese audio guide is a good compromise without a live guide.

Booking

Ask in writing: language, length, group size, meeting point, whether entry is included, cancellation policy.
