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.

Please note: Louvre Museum entry (€28 per person) is included in this tour's price. Visitors under 18 and EEA residents under 26 can visit the Louvre free of charge with valid ID and proof of residency, outside of a group tour.

This description is an example and your experience may vary depending on the season, day of the week, and group size. Regardless of where your tour goes, you always have an excellent experience.

Adam was the best tour guide - covering art, science and history. Was the best way to see the highlights of the Louvre in a short amount of time and felt like we got more out of it that if we had gone on our own.

Great guide, knowledgeable, kind, fast! Got us around all the highlights efficiently. Gave us ideas for when we went on our own at the end. Went on a Wednesday in August. She said the crowd was light. Great for families with older kids or adults.
