Tour description

See the best of the Louvre in just two hours with skip-the-line tickets and a carefully planned route.

Get straight to the heart of France's most famous art destination on this express tour of the Louvre. With skip the line entry, your small group of no more than 20 will follow your guide straight for the museum's most famous and captivating works, including the 'Mona Lisa,' 'The Raft of the Medusa,' and other masterpieces. Learn the stories and secrets behind the art and artists from an expert licensed guide.

As home to the 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.

Admire works of art like The Mona Lisa, The Winged Victory and more as your guide shares their fascinating stories.

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.”

Tours starting at 9:30 AM only can enjoy an 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.

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.

Simon was wonderful! He was very engaging, knowledgable, and energetic. We saw the pieces we were hoping to see and he gave us great insight and perspective. After the official tour, we wandered for another hour without a guide - we missed Simon's enthusiasm!

Avi was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and likeable. He gave us history on the art and history of The Louvre, but also made it entertaining as we strolled through the museum. We wanted to see the highlights and didn’t have a lot of time so this was a perfect tour
