Description
Skip the line and see the best of the Louvre in just two hours. Discover world-famous artworks such as the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and more with a local art historian as your guide.
As home to one of the largest collections of masterpieces from around the world, it's impossible to see every treasure of the Louvre in a single trip. With an expert guide who knows their way around the museum, streamline your visit to see highlights including Winged Victory, Venus de Milo, and of course, the Mona Lisa.
Meet up with your guide at the Arc du Carousel just across from the Louvre. Then skip the line and head inside the museum for a carefully curated tour that highlights the most iconic works in its impressive collection. You won't worry about getting lost as your guide leads you to world-famous artwork including da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Michelangelo's Slaves, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace, a 2nd century BC piece described as the world's “greatest masterpiece of Hellenistic sculpture.”
As you walk between the galleries, your guide brings the collection to life with fascinating tales of artists like Antonio Canova, Théodore Géricault, Eugène Delacroix, and Jacques-Louis David. Unravel the mystery of the Mona Lisa and learn why da Vinci's painting is considered one of the most important in the world. With a personal headset, so you always hear your guide, you also dive into the history of the palatial building itself, admiring its opulent stonework and intricate frescoes and learning of the royal dramas that once played out in these rooms.
At 10:15 AM only: Enjoy an exclusive, intimate Louvre experience with a maximum of six guests, ensuring a personalized journey through art and history. If your party consists of more than 6 participants, there is a possibility you will be split up due to ticketing availability at the Louvre Museum.
