What to expect
Your guide will meet you and walk you directly into the museum, bypassing entrance queues. You'll move through galleries at a conversational pace, stopping at major works—think Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, Liberty Leading the People—but also unexpected treasures most visitors miss. The guide points out compositional tricks, historical context, and restoration details. You're not standing in front of a painting for two minutes; you're exploring why it matters. Wear comfortable shoes: the Louvre is vast, and three hours means purposeful walking rather than dawdling.
