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 Louvre Tour on April 15, 2026 was outstanding. With only six people in our group, the experience felt personal and well‑paced. Our guide was an absolute delight — knowledgeable, engaging, and incredibly skilled at maneuvering us into the perfect spots to see and photograph the artwork without feeling crowded.
She shared the history and context behind each piece in a way that was easy to follow and genuinely interesting. Her enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable, and she ensured everyone had time to take in the details and ask questions.
This tour exceeded my expectations and made visiting the Louvre a highlight of my time in Paris.

I was very pleased with the tour of the Louvre! Our guide was pleasant, smart, and accommodating throughout the tour. She provided great insight into the the works of art and sculpture we viewed which was very beneficial to a novice such as myself. I would definitely use The Tour Guide company to explore other sights in the future. Thank you!

This exactly fits me, and if you are like me the 2 and a half hour time frame was great. I get overwhelmed in museums, it's too much, but this small group was perfect.

The tour today was great. Even with HUGH crowds our guide made it special. She even took extra care to keep an eye on my semi-handicap wife. That touch was extra special. Thanks so much.

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!!
