Tour description

Beat the crowds and see the Mona Lisa at the Louvre's quietest time of day.

Mona Lisa is a popular lady, so don't miss the chance to get close to her without the crowds. On this last-entry Louvre tour just before closing time, explore the museum's essential sections with an expert guide, and then experience the beauty of the world-famous painting in peace right as the doors are closing.

Accompanied by your expert guide, discover the palace's foundations at the moat, and then wander among the collection of Classical Greek statues to find the mysterious Venus de Milo and the triumphant Winged Victory of Samothrace.

Follow your expert guide on a carefully planned route of the Louvre's highlights

Marvel at the stunningly sculpted Cupid & Psyche and Michelangelo's Slaves, and get drawn into a pivotal moment in French history as you gaze upon Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People. Study the masterpieces of Caravaggio, Raphael, and da Vinci, admire the Romantic finesse of Géricault's The Raft of Medusa, and venture inside a room sparkling with Crown Jewels.

To wrap up your Louvre Closing Time Tour, make your way to the Mona Lisa Room and enjoy the freedom to get as close to the small but monumental painting as you like, soaking up the beauty of the lady's ambiguous and endlessly analyzed expression. Take your time absorbing every detail before making your way out of the museum and saying goodbye to your guide.

Our tour guide, Amber, was phenomenal! She was knowledgeable, patient, willing to answer questions, and absolutely delightful. I am so glad I opted to tour the catacombs this way.

This tour was awesome. The part I appreciated most was Amehd. His knowledge made this tour first class. He is truly a student of the history he is sharing and it shows. I appreciated the timely manner of the tour, the skip the line access and all the small details he showed us that others never saw.

We highly recommend the Catabombs tour. It’s so much better to have a guide to share information and answer questions. Getting to go into the restricted areas alone is worth the price. The history is fascinating and it is truly a respectful tour of the ossuary. This was one of the favorite tours of our trip.
