Full description

Get instant and Reserved Access to the Louvre for an exclusive journey through 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.

Meeting point

Please note: the meeting point is not located at the entrance to the Louvre. Meet our team, dressed in blue attire, beside the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. This prominent arch features a horse-drawn chariot on top but is currently undergoing renovation. To locate it, stand with your back to the entrance of the Louvre Pyramid, and you will spot it across the road, just before the entrance to the Tuileries Garden. Our coordinators will be standing to the left of the Arc, along the wall railing.

If I could give this your more than 5 stars, I would. Our tour guide named SUMMER was absolutely fantastic. The Louvre is huge and incredibly crowded. Summer efficiently helped us navigate the Louvre while providing excellent historical background on each piece we viewed. I learned so much, and didn't want the tour to be over! She was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history of the Louvre and each of the art pieces that we saw. It was truly an incredible experience, and I cannot wait to go back. This tour and our amazing guide has inspired my husband and I to visit our local art museum back home and take more time to learn about the art that we have available in our own communities. Cannot recommend this tour enough!
