Booking our Louve tour was easy and communication from the company was good. Our tour guide Wei was exceptional. He saved us time in line, he kept a close eye on our group to keep us together and provided an informative tour on some of the museum's highlights.

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.
