What to expect
The Louvre holds over 35,000 works of art — and most visitors leave having seen
only a fraction. This guided tour cuts through the overwhelm, taking you directly to
the masterpieces that matter most, with an art historian who brings every painting
and sculpture to life.
Your tour begins just outside the museum, where your guide gathers your small group and previews what's ahead. Once inside, your timed-entry tickets get you past the general queue and straight to the group entry point, with only a brief security check between you and the galleries.
You'll head into the Greek and Roman antiquities to admire two of the world's most iconic sculptures, the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Your guide explains why these works have captivated visitors for more than 150 years and what makes their craftsmanship so remarkable.
Next comes the moment everyone waits for: standing before the Mona Lisa. Your guide unpacks Leonardo's technique, the painting's mystery, and why this small portrait has fascinated the world for over 500 years.
From there, you'll move through some of France's most powerful paintings, including Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People, Géricault's Raft of the Medusa, and David's Coronation of Napoleon. The tour finishes at Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss in the Michelangelo Gallery, where you can ask any final questions before saying goodbye.
This tour is perfect for first-time visitors who want a guided introduction to the world's greatest art collection without getting lost in its endless halls.
