About this tour
Skip the entry queues and explore the Louvre's greatest works with a dedicated guide leading a small group of six or fewer. This 2.5-hour tour carves through the museum's essential collection—the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Winged Victory of Samothrace and beyond—with context and storytelling that make each piece click. Your guide keeps the pace brisk but breathing, explaining the pieces that matter rather than rattling off encyclopaedia entries. Entry is included, so you walk straight in.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at the entrance with your ticket sorted. The route is planned to move you through the museum's highlights without backtracking or dawdling. Expect to spend time with each major work—long enough to actually look at it, hear why it matters, and ask questions. Some galleries have strict quiet rules; your guide will brief you before entering. The walking is steady; wear comfortable shoes. Crowds shift throughout the day, but reserved entry means you're not wrestling ticket queues. By the end, you'll have grasped the collection's shape and had time to absorb what you've seen rather than sprint through it.
Good to know
Arrive on time—the museum won't permit late entries. Leave large bags at your hotel; only small handbags pass security. Some rooms enforce silence; your guide explains the rules beforehand. Wheelchair access is available throughout but only on private tours. Under 18s and under-26 EEA residents get free entry with ID.
