Itinerary
Your tour begins near the Louvre
Meet your guide just outside the Louvre, with the exact spot listed on your booking voucher. There are only 6 guests on this tour, so getting started is quick and easy.
Head inside the Louvre with a timed-entry ticket
Follow your guide’s lead through the Louvre's security check and enter the museum. There may be a short wait to get through this line.
Explore the Greek and Roman sculpture halls
First up on your tour is the Greek and Roman antiquity galleries. Come face to face with the Winged Victory of Samothrace, a headless marble goddess, and the iconic Venus de Milo, carved roughly 2,100 years ago.
Walk through the Renaissance masterpiece rooms
From there, your guide walks you through the Renaissance rooms, pointing out works by Raphael and Botticelli along the way. You'll also stop to take in Veronese's massive Wedding at Cana, a painting so large it fills an entire wall.
Stand before Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa
Here it is, the iconic Mona Lisa. Tune in as your guide shares its story, from its shocking theft in 1911 to the secrets behind that famous expression.

Our semi-private tour of the Louvre was truly the highlight of our trip. Z was an exceptional guide, so knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about the artwork, which made the entire experience feel alive and engaging.
He navigated the museum with ease and precision, getting us to all the pieces we wanted to see without any stress. There’s absolutely no way we would have managed that on our own, especially given how massive and overwhelming the Louvre can be.
The tour was worth every penny and then some. If you’re considering it, don’t hesitate. Be sure to bring cash to tip your guide. Z absolutely deserves it!
Enjoyable tour in Louvre

Get ready to speed through the Louvre. Our guide, Delly, was knowledgeable and passionate about art. She wanted to show us as much as possible in the time we had. I appreciated her choices and the stories behind the pieces we saw in addition to the Mona Lisa. Would go again.

Our tour guide Martin was one of the most well-informed and friendly guides on any tours we have taken in Paris. His knowledge went far beyond the painting or sculpture itself. He went into the history of the era and how the era influenced the focus and style of each painting or sculpture. In addition, he pointed out details that made each piece noteworthy. We covered a lot of area in a 2.5 hour tour, but it made us all want to return. Seeing the highlights of the museum and understanding their position in the history of art increased our knowledge and appreciation of why art is important. Martin is a gifted tour guide and we will ask for him on our return to Paris and the Louvre Museum.

Our tour guide was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, as he quickly escorted us past the long lines and into the museum, navigating us to all the must sees! The skip the line was well worth the expense and then to have a top expert guide too! It was amazing!!

Avi, our guide from #TheTourGuy was at the meeting point waiting to whisk us past the long lines and straight in to the Louvre. From the moment we met, he was engaging and informative with a fun flare for humor. Avi moved us efficiently through and past the crowds right in front of the masterpieces we wanted to see, providing in depth perspective on the works of art, and background on the artists and the significance of the works. This was the most enjoyable tour I've ever experienced. I highly recommend The Tour Guy, and especially Avi.
