About this tour
Navigate the Louvre's 35,000 works with a local guide in a group capped at six people over two and a half hours. You'll move past the crowds to stand before the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and masterworks by Da Vinci, Delacroix, and Canova. Your guide unpacks the museum's evolution from fortress to royal palace, connecting stories to the objects themselves rather than rushing past them.

What to expect
Expect a steady walk through galleries with your guide pointing out not just what to see, but why each piece matters. The group moves together at a measured pace—small enough that you'll hear the guide without crowding around a single work. You'll spend real time in front of the famous portraits and sculptures rather than snapping photos and moving on. The Louvre is vast, so this tour covers the essential pieces rather than attempting an exhaustive survey.
