    It was excellent! We didn't have time to explore the entire museum and this highlight/private tour was just perfect. Our guide was so knowledgeable, professional, and kind.

    Our tour guide did an awesome job in taking us to see the key artwork in the museum and spent over two hours providing history of the Louvre, the artist's work and maneuvered us through the crowds. She was very attentive to her group and kept it at a pace for everyone to keep up and rest when needed. The ticketing was easy doing it on line. Only drawback was the meeting location which has several tour groups and we went to the wrong ones first. If we paid attention to the instructions to look for the blue shirts it would have saved us time.

    Tino, our guide was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable and fun. She showed us the highlights of the museum and showed us where to go to see certain exhibits. She knew how to handle the crowds at the Louvre. She made time for the elderly in our group and provided breaks as needed. I would give her a 5 out of 5 stars!

An art history expert will welcome you, setting the stage for this intimate tour limited to just 6 or 10 participants. Listen to your English-speaking guide unravel fascinating stories behind the Louvre’s iconic treasures.

    Unveiling masterpieces and hidden gems

    Start your journey through a hall filled with sculptures from the Greek and Roman eras. Here, witness the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Venus de Milo, and the life-size sculpture of the mythological Sleeping Hermaphroditus carved by Bernini. Get to see some of the famous works by Leonardo da Vinci like St. John the Baptist before marvelling at the Mona Lisa. Your guide will also let you not miss out on the massive Wedding Feast at Cana on the opposite wall. The Louvre offers opportunities to visit works by Jacques-Louis David, Napoleon's personal painter, and Eugène Delacroix as well as a set of the Crown Jewels.

    Also, marvel at the modern glass pyramid entrance, once a matter of debate, now symbolizes the Louvre's embrace of the new amid the ancient. This tour promises not just to show you the Louvre, but to let you experience the profound narratives it houses.
