Full description

The Louvre is vast, and many visitors spend more time lost in corridors than looking at art. On this guided tour, a professional guide leads a small group through the highlights, bringing the stories behind the masterpieces to life and steering you around the busiest bottlenecks.

You’ll see the museum’s most famous works, including the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace, along with a selection of other highlights that the guide chooses based on the day’s conditions. After the tour you’re welcome to stay and explore the collections on your own.
