Overview

This is the Louvre at its calmest. Late afternoon is the sweet spot for visiting the world's largest art museum, and this small-group, timed-entry tour is built around it. You'll bypass the long ticket lines through a dedicated group entrance, then follow an expert, English-speaking guide on a curated route designed to hit the icons without the chaos.
In just two hours, you'll stand in front of the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace, then walk through Greek and Roman antiquities most visitors rush past. Your guide weaves the museum's history together, from medieval fortress to royal palace to public museum, with insider stories about each masterpiece.
With a small group, you'll have the room to see, listen, and ask questions. It's perfect for art lovers, first-time Paris visitors, and anyone who wants the Louvre's highlights without the morning rush.

What's Included

  • Viewings of the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Liberty Leading the People
  • Curated route through the museum at closing time
  • Fascinating insights and stories about artists
  • Guide tips

Paris (pass by)

Meet your guide just outside the Louvre and head straight for the dedicated group entrance, bypassing the long lines at the main pyramid. After a quick security check, you'll step inside the world's largest art museum to start your visit. Over the next two hours, you'll follow an expert guide on a curated route in a small group, taking advantage of the late-afternoon hours when the crowds begin to thin.

Louvre Museum

Inside, your guide leads you straight to the icons: Leonardo's Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace at the top of a grand staircase, and the armless Venus de Milo in the Greek halls. You'll hear how the building grew from a medieval fortress into a royal palace and finally a public museum, with insider stories about the artists behind each masterpiece. The small group keeps the pace personal, with room to see every work and ask questions you'd never get to in a packed morning crowd. Your visit wraps up at Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss in the Michelangelo Gallery, when late-afternoon light has the museum at its most peaceful.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
