Guide tips
Itinerary
Your tour begins near the Louvre Museum in Paris
Meet your guide just outside the Louvre Museum; look for the exact location on your booking voucher. Once your small group has gathered, tune into a quick rundown of what's ahead so you’re ready to see the highlights of the largest museum in the world.
Enter the Louvre with timed entry
Your timed entry tickets get you past the general entrance queue and straight to the group entry point. There's still a security check, which can take a few minutes, but then you're inside and the tour begins.
Discover the Venus de Milo and Winged Victory of Samothrace
Your guide walks you through the Greek and Roman antiquities to two of the world's most iconic sculptures. Find out why the Venus de Milo and Winged Victory of Samothrace have captivated visitors for over 150 years.
Stand before the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci
This is the moment. The Mona Lisa is smaller than most expect and more powerful than they anticipate. Your guide unpacks the technique, the mystery, and why this painting has fascinated the world for over 500 years.
Explore French masterpieces by Delacroix, David, and Géricault
Next, move through some of France's most powerful paintings, from Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People to Géricault's Raft of the Medusa. Each one has a story, and your guide makes sure you leave knowing what it is.

Our guide was wonderful. He explained everything in detail with colorful anecdotes, but never went too deep on any single piece of art. It was the right level for this type of tour. Would book again.

Excellent tour! Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the Louvre easy to navigate despite the crowds. Seeing the Mona Lisa was a highlight, but we also loved learning the stories behind so many incredible masterpieces. The tour was well organized, informative, and a fantastic way to experience the museum. Highly recommend The Tour Guy!

The great advantage of a guided tour of the museum is that you can sidestep the long lines and crowds. The tour conducted by Marianna was exceptional, however. She shared a lot of insights about the artwork, the buildings themselves, the history of the collections, and the present contexts of the exhibits. We learned a lot during our tour, and Marianna made it fun even for my 11 year old granddaughter.
Great Experience

Our tour guide Helin was very knowledgeable and attentive to our group. Louvre was amazing and did not disappoint . Only con it was so many people that day the AC was seemed too weak. So bring a fan and also something to drink the tour is 2-3 hrs nonstop up and down stairs and long hallways. Overall tour guy company has my business always when it comes to guided tours anywhere in the world.

It happened our guide was American so he was easy to understand and did a great job of giving us history on the art and answering questions that we had. Great personality and would highly recommend tour and the guide. This 2.5 hour was great way to see a bit of Louvre if you don't have a ton of time or don't care to be there for hours. I highly recommend going at 5p or after on the days the museum is open late. Made a huge difference in amount of people.
"Z" was great

Had a wonderful time at the Louvre with out guide, we touched on some of the great architecture and exhibits, along with enough color to bring some of the world famous artwork to life. It moved quickly, and didn’t realize how much we had taken in until the tour was over. Loved it.

What a spectacular highlights tour of The Louvre! Our guide, Sid, was incredibly knowledgeable and funny, and he catered well to our group, which included a handful of older kids as well as adults. Sid has a wealth of historical and political information, and his tour catered toward colonialism and historical significance of the pieces we viewed. Our tour met at 9:15 and concluded at 12:15, where Sid gave us tips about viewing the Mona Lisa (as well as interesting information about her) and set us free to continue to explore the museum. The tour was WELL worthwhile, well paced, interactive, and gave so much more historical information (beyond just the art) than we ever would have gathered. Since The Louvre can be noisy, having Sid’s voice on a microphone in our headsets made it easy to hear him throughout the tour. HIGHLY RECOMMEND - wouldn’t visit The Louvre any other way!
