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.

This tour was amazing and we feel very fortunate that Antoine was our guide. He brought the art to life for us, and we only wish we could have spent more time learning from him! Could not recommend this tour more highly.

Antoinne was magnificent! We feel very fortunate to have been assigned Antoinne for our Closing Time at the Louvre tour. He was masterful in his delivery of information and in his managing our procession through the Louvre to maximize both of how much we saw and our enjoyment in a 3 hour tour in a museum where one could spend days. I will always remember our tour. He made our tour meaningful and was witty and charming! Can't recommend enough! Thank you.

Amed was an excellent informative and fun guide. The tour with him through the Louvre taught me so much. Navigating this amazing museum with him made it fun not overwhelming!

We took the Louvre tour "Closing Time at the Louvre: The Mona Lisa at Her Most Peaceful" with Team Adam. Adam was knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. We most appreciated his insights and explanations on the artworks. He provided us with a rich and lasting experience of the Louvre, something we would not have enjoyed attempting to tour this massive museum on our own. And we truly ended the tour at the Mona Lisa and got to spend time up close and personal with this beautiful painting, without any crowds, which we now know and appreciate so much more because of Adam, in addition to all the other art pieces he shared with us. We highly recommend this tour and especially our tour guide, Adam. Go, Team Adam!
