About this tour
Navigate the Louvre's vast galleries with a private guide who contextualises the museum's heavyweight collection across two-and-a-half hours. You'll encounter da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People, Michelangelo's slave sculptures, and the classical Venus de Milo and Winged Victory, learning the historical narratives behind each. Your guide tailors the pace to your interests, sidestepping the crush of the main crowds. Entry ticket included.

What to expect
Expect a steady walk through multiple floors and galleries—the Louvre sprawls, so comfortable shoes matter. Your guide will plant you in front of major works, unpacking their provenance and significance rather than rushing past. You'll move between wings (paintings, sculpture, decorative arts), with your guide filtering which rooms suit your time and energy. The museum itself is vast; even with a guide, you won't see everything, but you'll hit the essential pieces most visitors come for. Crowds thin slightly with a private tour, though the Mona Lisa room remains busy.
Good to know
Wear supportive footwear; the museum demands several kilometres of walking. The building can be cool—bring a light layer. Under-18s and EEA residents under 26 get free entry with valid ID. Service animals welcome. Prams and strollers permitted, though narrow galleries can be tight.
