About this tour
A three-hour private guided tour of the Louvre that focuses on the museum's most iconic works and the stories behind them. Your guide walks you through the gallery's masterpieces, unpacking the historical context and artistic significance of each piece. You'll stand before the Venus de Milo, Nike of Samothrace, and Leonardo's Mona Lisa—the three sculptures and paintings that define the collection. The tour moves at a pace that lets you absorb what you're seeing rather than rush through rooms.

What to expect
Your guide meets you at the museum and takes you directly to the Louvre's most recognised works. Rather than a broad survey, this tour zeroes in on a handful of pieces, letting your guide dig into why each one matters—the artistic techniques, the historical moment it emerged from, the myths surrounding its creation. You'll get breathing room to actually look, ask questions, and take photos. The guide handles the logistics of navigating the crowds and gets you to the right galleries without wasted time.
