What to expect
You'll meet your guide near the main entrance and move through the museum at a deliberate pace, stopping at key works for detailed discussion. Rather than rushing through galleries, you'll spend meaningful time with artworks, hearing the stories behind them—why the Mona Lisa's gaze unsettles, what the Venus de Milo originally held, how the Winged Victory commanded ancient temples. Expect to walk several kilometres across multiple floors, though your guide reads the group's energy and adjusts. You'll see famous pieces but also slip into quieter galleries where masterworks hang without throngs.
