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.

Good visit for a comprehensive but brief of the Lourve. You need days to do a thorough visit of this museum. Crowded so go early.

We had a great experience with Evan! It was difficult for us to find the meeting spot, and he waited for us to begin. Our family does not visit a high amount of museums, and he did a wonderful presentation of the Louvre and all of the history and highlights of many exhibits. Evan was enthusiastic and has a passion for the history that we enjoyed. We would definitely recommend this tour.
Our Louvre Museum Tour was a disaster!

Ref: Booking #1041477, Semi- Private Express Louvre Tour I suggest that you give second thoughts if you are planning a tour with the “The Tour Guys” in which they sublet their tour to a subcontractor, especially “Uncle Sam Tours”. We booked two tours with them for our Paris trip. The first trip, in which they themselves conducted the tour, went well. However, their second tour (Semi- Private Express Louvre Tour) was supposed to be conducted by a guide of “Uncle Sam Tour”, and that turned out to be a disaster. It seems that the contractor’s guide decided to not show up on that day. Although we have no way of finding out what happened, but we think it was because we were the only clients booked on that day. When we could not find the tour guide at the meeting point at designated time, we called the “on the day of the tour” number of “Uncle Sam Tours” but no one picked up the phone. Later, we complained and requested a full refund of our tickets from “The Tour Guy”, but they put the blame on us and said that we did not show up at the appropriate place in time, although we were searching for the guide at the meeting point since much before the designated time. At the end, after we sent pictures and text correspondences to prove that we did search for the tour operators at the meeting point at the appropriate time, and after a lot of correspondences with “The Tour Guys”, they did refund half the ticket amount to us. However, ultimately, we missed the Louvre museum visit during our Paris trip.
Great highlight tour

Our tour guide, Mo, did a fantastic job at showing our group the highlights, just what the tour was billed as. She was very knowledgeable and organized. It’s not easy moving a group of people through a crowd of people while explaining buildings, architecture and artwork. And she didn’t lose anyone!!

Any visit to the Louvre is wonderful, but our guide Sid made it fun, educational so the day was even more amazing. Sid used humor to engage every member of the tour group, while making sure we saw And understood backgrounds of great exhibits.

Our guide Sylvia was very helpful during our visit. Communication was given in advance to help navigate the busy outside area to meet. This experience gave us more information than we expected regarding educating us on venue as well as art history.
