Itinerary

Meet your guide at 162 Rue de Rivoli, Paris

You meet your guide and small group outside the Louvre at 162 Rue de Rivoli. They explain what to expect over the next two hours and point out the glass pyramid and palace courtyards around you.

Enter the Louvre with skip-the-line access

With timed skip-the-line access, move past the general queues and into the Louvre’s grand halls. Your guide leads you straight toward the first highlights of the tour.

Explore the ancient Egypt collection

In the ancient Egypt galleries, you pause by statues, sarcophagi, and everyday objects spanning thousands of years. Your guide connects these relics to the people who once lived along the Nile.

Follow Italian Renaissance masterpieces

In the Denon Wing, you stop at key works by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. Your guide highlights details in composition and symbolism so you can see how these paintings and sculptures reshaped art in Renaissance Italy.

See the Mona Lisa up close

In the dedicated Mona Lisa gallery, you join other visitors in front of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous portrait. Your guide explains how this relatively small painting became a global icon and shares tips for appreciating it beyond the crowds and camera phones.

Admire Psyche and The Raft of the Medusa

In nearby galleries, you pause at Antonio Canova’s Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss and Géricault’s The Raft of the Medusa. Your guide unpacks the stories of love, shipwreck, and survival behind these works so you understand why they still feel so powerful today.

Your tour finishes inside the Louvre

After two hours of curated highlights, your guided visit ends inside the Louvre. Your guide points out nearby wings, amenities, and suggested routes so you can keep exploring on your own or make your way back toward the museum exits with confidence.
