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.

Semi-private Louvre Tour with Mona Lisa

What a fantastic tour! Martin was truly knowledgeable and had a nice sense of humor. He made the entire tour very comfortable and special with his knowledge of the history of the pieces as well as the artists themselves. He put the artwork into the time period which gave us a sense of the era and how it influenced the artist. He also explained why the artwork was important enough to be included in the Louvre and why it was on this tour. Martin pointed out details in every piece we saw that we would never have noticed without him. He also told us why these details were significant and how they connected the pieces to the period. This was not our first visit to the Louvre, but it was by far the best and most informative. We recommend this tour to anyone who wants a more in-depth study of the history surrounding the artwork and sculpture. We also highly recommend Martin as a guide. This tour was absolutely SUPERB!!

It was awesome to be able to see so many masterpieces in a relatively short period of time. That was all due to Lee, our tour guide. He did an amazing job getting us around crowded areas without any issues and sharing his knowledge and passion for the works of art that we saw. Thank you so much for a truly wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

The Louvre Museum is the largest museum in the world, and without a guided tour, it can feel incredibly overwhelming to navigate its vast collections. This tour made all the difference.
Nadia, our guide, was absolutely exceptional. Her passion for art was evident in every explanation, and her knowledge brought each masterpiece to life. Despite the large crowds that day, she skillfully guided us through the museum, ensuring we experienced the most important highlights without ever feeling rushed or lost.
Of course, we saw the Mona Lisa, but what truly set this tour apart was how thoughtfully Nadia introduced us to so many other remarkable works throughout the museum. She provided meaningful context and insights that deepened our appreciation for the art far beyond what we could have experienced on our own.
I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the Louvre. It transformed what could have been an overwhelming visit into an unforgettable and enriching experience. Simply outstanding.
Lovely tour with Claire

It was a fantastic experience. Zdravko was an excellent guide knowledgeable, engaging, and full of fascinating insights and lesser-known stories that really brought the museum to life. The tour was well paced and thoughtfully curated, making the Louvre feel far more accessible and enjoyable. Highly recommended.

We loved this tour. We had 2 teens with us who also thought it was great. I’ve been to the Louvre before but have felt lost and overwhelmed. This was interesting and concise and very funny! My teens appreciated seeing the more famous pieces and getting a chance to take pics. We LOVED our guide, Sid! He was funny, knowledgeable and easy to understand!
