Full description

Skip the Louvre’s famously long lines gives and visit the museum’s must-see attractions. Your expert guide will unveil subtle details most visitors never learn about the works of art on show. Discover the "Mona Lisa", the "Venus de Milo" and the "Winged Victory of Samothrace".

The tour also features Greek and Roman antiquities like the 4,000-year-old "Great Sphinx of Tanis", other recognisable works by Da Vinci and Raphael, and highlights of the French Romantic period. Sculptures like Michelangelo’s "Dying Slave" and Antonio Canova’s "Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss" add another dimension to the experience. In the Apollo Gallery, you’ll glimpse the Louvre’s own history as the Royal Palace, before Louis XIV relocated the court to Versailles. The equally opulent décor of the Second Empire is also preserved in the Napoleon Apartments. After the tour, you can continue exploring the Louvre at your leisure.

I was on a solo trip to Paris and booked this tour, not exactly knowing what to expect from something I found online. It was great!! Hugo was our tour guide and he was awesome - super funny, energetic and knowledgeable and clearly had passion for art and history. He really put the art in context in a way that made it more memorable and meaningful for me. Highly recommend!!

Hamish has a detailed love of many arts. A bit confusing at the meeting spot. A woman in blue appeared nearby 10 minutes ahead. She sent us to a second woman in blue down steps and underground where we were checked in and given headsets. Then Hamish the Scot took over .
