Meet your guide at the Louvre
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.
Discover the grand French history paintings
Then continue into the French masterpieces rooms. See Jacques-Louis David's Coronation of Napoleon, a painting full of historical inaccuracies, and Gericault's Raft of the Medusa, inspired by a real and devastating shipwreck.
Admire Liberty Leading the People
Next, see one of the most iconic paintings in French history: Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People. Your guide brings the energy and symbolism of the 1830 Revolution to life.
Your tour ends after your guided visit inside the Louvre
Your final highlight is Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss, displayed in the Michelangelo Gallery in the Denon Wing. Then, take the opportunity to ask your guide any final questions before bidding farewell.

Ruth was wonderful. The Semi-private tour was perfect ... not too many people in our group so it was easy to navigate and stay on pace with the crowds.

Frederick led us through a Louvre tour on a Monday morning. The Louvre was absolutely packed and HOT! Frederick was wonderful and showed all of the key sites while navigating the crowds. We would have been completely lost on our own.

We had a 4 person group which made the tour so much more easier to navigate. Sid, our tour guide, was fantastic !! He was so informative about everything. He is a stand comedian so he also brings a very clever sense of humor to every exhibit making it fun and very enjoyable , he speaks 7 different languages and makes it easy to absorb information. I would highly recommend him for the Louvre tour.
Great guide

Our tour guide Anastasia was super knowledgeable and made sure to get us to the things we wanted to see. She even went out of her way to pick us up headsets so that we could hear her through the Louvre. The group size was perfect and the pacing was perfect!

The tour guide was very knowledgeable. However, the tour was too short and for first timers they missed a lot of the museum art, a lot. The history about the palace was new to me and I liked it.
Best tour with Benoit!

Due to mobility issues we were not able to complete the tour. The tour guide was kind enough to modify the schedule and let us see the Mona Lisa first, which is what we really wanted to do.
Great Tour with Nadia

Our guide, Nadia, had so much interesting information to share that was beyond just knowing who or when the art was created. Plus The Louvre is so big I'm glad we had someone guiding us through for our first visit.

Had a great tour with our guide Joe. Met at the Louis XIV statue and the 6 of us were escorted in. It was a small thing but we bypassed the first toilets and we went to some out of the way with no lines - an important thing for all of us. We then had the headphones handed out and started the tour. Joe's commentary throughout was informative, engaging, and shed a new perspective on many of the masterpieces. Beyond just the history, he explained the different styles and what to look for. So great! We certainly had a view of all the highlights. Looking at the pictures we went through the old moat area, by the sphinx, then over to the greek statue area. All statues were amazing. The Venus de Milo was at the end of the room where Joe spoke extensively on the history and other aspects. As we progressed through the hallways we came up on the Winged Victory before moving on to the Gallery of Apollo where the French Jewels were. No real displays there but the art work on the walls and ceiling was incredible. Moved on where we paused at the two Da Vinci's before making our way to the Mona Lisa. The French painting gallery gave us the Raft of the Medusa and Liberty Leading the People. All incredible. As we were a small group we collectively decided to finish up at Napoleon's apartment. As we ended the tour, my wife and I were able to make our way back to see Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss (since the museum was open late on that day). This was originally the final stop. Overall this was such a great way to see the highlights with a guide who not only knew the subjects but was a story teller that really engaged us in the art.
