Highlights

Bypass queues at the Louvre and witness its grandest pieces of art on this tour, curated for a small group, with an English-speaking guide.
Learn about the museum’s 12th-century origins as a fortress, a captivating detail often overshadowed by its artistic acclaim. Upgrade for an even smaller group of just 6 or 10.
View world-famous artworks like the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo, and unveil the stories behind every masterpiece from your expert art history guide.
Explore at your pace the many artworks present including the Winged Victory of Samothrace, one of the oldest statues in the world, the Raft of the Medusa, a painting that defines the French Romanticism movement, and more.
Fun fact: The Louvre is so vast that if you were to spend a minute viewing each piece, it would take over a year to see them all!

Our guide, Louis, was very knowledgable and personable. The stops were all so yummy! It was a LOT of food. My only suggestion is that we came hungry (as we were advised), and the tour began with three sweet stops and ended with charcuterie. It would have been nice to start with something more filling on an empty stomach. By the time we were sampling charcuterie as I too full to do it justice!

Max was an an amazing guide with so much knowledge to add regarding the paintings and sculptures that we saw at the Lourve. He knew how to get us to the front of the line and his information added so much to our experience. We would definitely request Max on other tours!

Our guide Anna was very informative and knowledgeable of the art. Loved the small group vibe. We got far more out of the experience than we did previously without the personal experience.

Your experience

Forego the lines & enjoy a small-group or private guided tour

Bypass the long queues and gain entry into one of the world's largest and most visited museums with reserved access. An art history expert will welcome you, setting the stage for this intimate tour limited to just 6 or 10 participants. Listen to your English-speaking guide unravel fascinating stories behind the Louvre’s iconic treasures.

Unveiling masterpieces and hidden gems

Start your journey through a hall filled with sculptures from the Greek and Roman eras. Here, witness the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Venus de Milo, and the life-size sculpture of the mythological Sleeping Hermaphroditus carved by Bernini. Get to see some of the famous works by Leonardo da Vinci like St. John the Baptist before marvelling at the Mona Lisa. Your guide will also let you not miss out on the massive Wedding Feast at Cana on the opposite wall. The Louvre offers opportunities to visit works by Jacques-Louis David, Napoleon's personal painter, and Eugène Delacroix as well as a set of the Crown Jewels.

Also, marvel at the modern glass pyramid entrance, once a matter of debate, now symbolizes the Louvre's embrace of the new amid the ancient. This tour promises not just to show you the Louvre, but to let you experience the profound narratives it houses.
