Guide tips
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.

We enjoyed our tour with our guide, John. We were surprised when John informed us the Louvre was on strike and that he wasn’t sure if it would open at all that day. He suggested we go get a beverage and he would keep us updated. Luckily the opening of the Louvre was only delayed an hour and we had our tour. John was very knowledgeable and provided us with many historical facts. We really enjoy our semi private tour!
Sid's the best!

Sid was our tour guide and he was amazing. Extremely knowledgable, great historical references behind the art, and very funny. My wife and I were learning and laughing the entire tour. Also, getting a tour was extremely important for reasons I didn't expect... a private area for tours with restroom and coat/purse checks, skipping the line was very important, it would've been hours in the queue, instead it was 10 minutes. I expected a knowledgalbe guide, and definitely had that(!), but the other benefits were really important. I'd definitely do a guided tour again. Bravo!!

Our guide showed up on time but was not dressed in red or did he have a red sign, but it all worked out well. He was super-knowledgeable about many of the galleries, and we appreciated his extensive background information. Perhaps the best part of a Tour Guys adventure is getting in without having to wait in the long line. Well worth our time!!

Our guide was exceptional. She not only imparted lots of very interesting information in a very understandable manner, she also navigated a crowded place with grace and efficiency. We have had many private tour guides and she was among the best. I am 80 years old and I remember her name to be Ruth - but I could be wrong. Please review your records to match my comments with your records.

Ruth was an exceptional guide! Her knowledge of the artwork and its history was amazing. She navigated the museum to be sure we saw the most possible in the limited time we had. I will recommend any friends coming to Paris to request Ruth. Thanks for a great tour.
