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.

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.
