Ticketing was lightning fast, very simple, very detailed. Meet up was as expected, maybe a pic of the guide might be useful, or a hat, to help identify them...walking up to randoms... The tour was excellent, avoid most of the queues, got to all the most amazing pieces very quickly with excellent explanation and knowledge from our guide. Thoroughly recommend it for a first time, or only visit to the Louvre...

An exceptional guide for her culture, kindness and contact with children. An experience to be recommended to anyone wishing to discover the Louvre and its essential works in depth. This vip tour is not expensive, it's just a bit of money justified by the quality of a top-of-the-range service.

  • Bypass the long queues and gain entry into one of the world's largest and most visited museums with reserved access. An art history expert will welcome you, setting the stage for this intimate tour limited to just 6 or 10 participants.

    Getting started

    Your voucher will include the final meeting point details. Please arrive 15 minutes early to ensure a smooth start to your tour. Begin your visit in a grand hall of Greek and Roman sculptures, where you’ll encounter masterpieces such as the Winged Victory of Samothrace, the Venus de Milo, and Bernini’s striking life-size Sleeping Hermaphroditus.

    What to expect

    Follow your guide to some of Leonardo da Vinci’s greatest works, including St. John the Baptist, before standing face-to-face with the world’s most famous painting—the Mona Lisa. Just across the room, don’t miss the monumental Wedding Feast at Cana, a masterpiece that fills the opposite wall with drama and detail. Your tour also brings you to works by Jacques-Louis David, Napoleon’s official painter, and Eugène Delacroix, as well as the dazzling French Crown Jewels on display. Before even stepping inside, admire the iconic glass pyramid entrance—once controversial, now a celebrated symbol of how the museum blends the modern with the historic. This experience goes beyond viewing art; it immerses you in the stories and legacies that have shaped centuries of culture.
