Discover our guided walking tours of the Louvre on your phone and at your own pace! You decide when and what itineraries to do, besides being offline and without having to worry about the loss of coverage! Forget the maps and spending data or mobile phone battery! With the itineraries that our passionate Tourblinkers, instagrammers, bloggers and local inhabitants have made with images, we will guide you step by step, indicating which direction to take showing you images of the place and exhibit that you have in front of you! We will be your freetour guide on your own mobile phone. As if we were the genie of the lamp, who will make you the tour you decide, at the time you like, and spending the time you wish! We offer you itineraries lasting from 60 mins to 2 hours so you can choose the time that best suits you (especially if it is the first time you are visiting the museum or you are staying in the city for the weekend only). OFFLINE APPLICATION Don’t you have mobile data or connection? No problem! You can visit the Louvre and read all the practical information even in “airplane mode”, without spending any of that. Tourblink specializes in walking tours always available offline and through images and audios. Without maps, we guide you in the most intuitive possible way, so you don’t get lost. CURIOUS AND QUALITY INFORMATION Our Tourblink team is composed by professionals and local guides who are art passionated and who know what questions you may be asking yourself and what would you like to see during your visit in the Louvre, optimizing your time. The information in the app is concise, useful, fun and easy to understand. The one related to the artworks is free! In addition of explaining what you already knew you were coming to visit at the museum, we also tell you what we like the most about each artwork that you didn’t know you were going to see. So that when you leave the museum, you leave it with a good taste of knowledge. ITINERARIES Don't you exactly know how to profit your time? Where to start? We are here to solve that! We propose itineraries by hours, in order to enjoy the museum as much as you can! You will feel like on a tour, but on your own and at your own pace. Once you choose one of the itineraries (paying a ridiculous price of less than € 5), you can follow the route and listen to the audio guides, which will give you information to understand what you see once you are in front of it. Or if you prefer, you can read it.

MuseCat is a smart audio guide that plans the route for you, tells you what you're looking at, and lets you stop, replay, or skip ahead whenever you want. Now covering the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay (Orsay Museum). The Louvre — in 4 hours, not 3 days. 66 stops through the essentials: the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory, and the paintings and sculptures you actually came to see. A route that makes sense on the ground, not just on a map. Musée d'Orsay — 100 stops through Impressionism and beyond. From Manet and Monet to Van Gogh, Degas, and Renoir — plus the sculptures, the Art Nouveau rooms, and the great hall itself. Around 5 and a half hours of audio you can spread across a full visit. Features • Curated routes through each museum's must-sees • Audio commentary for every stop, with video for key masterpieces • Free intro tracks — try before you unlock the full tour • Offline listening with Premium — no signal needed inside the galleries • Multi-language audio and captions • Background playback and lock-screen controls • Playback speed control and auto-play • Highlights view so you never miss the icons Why MuseCat?

MuseCat is the third option: the route and the context of a great guide, without anyone hurrying you along. No crowds gathering around a raised umbrella. No half-heard commentary. Just you, the art, and someone in your ear who actually knows what they're talking about. Bring your own headphones. Take as long as you like. Come back tomorrow and pick up where you left off. Download MuseCat and see the museum on your terms.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MuseCat at 5.0 against Louvre Visit & Guide's 4.3. MuseCat also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Louvre Visit & Guide's advantage is ratings volume (357 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
