Overview

Enjoy the Louvre on and exclusive guided tour, making the experience more personal, interactive, and easy to follow. With reserved entry included, your visit starts smoothly as you meet your guide and head into the museum.

This 2.5-hour tour is thoughtfully designed to cover the Louvre’s essential highlights—from world-famous masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory of Samothrace to other key works that give you a broader understanding of the collection.

What guests appreciate most is the approach: knowledgeable guides who keep things engaging and enjoyable, focusing on stories, context, and clear explanations rather than overwhelming detail. The result is a well-paced visit that helps you experience the Louvre in a way that feels both meaningful and enjoyable—not rushed, and never like a lecture.
