Overview
Get straight to the heart of France's most famous art destination on this express tour of the Louvre. Enter with a small group of no more than 20 and follow your guide straight for the museum's most famous and captivating works, including the 'Mona Lisa,' 'The Raft of the Medusa,' and other masterpieces. Learn the stories and secrets behind the art and artists from an expert licensed guide.
As home to the one of the largest collections of masterpieces from around the world, it's impossible to see every treasure of the Louvre in a single trip. With an expert guide who knows their way around the museum, streamline your visit to see highlights including Winged Victory, Venus de Milo, and of course, the Mona Lisa.
Meet up with your guide at the Arc du Carousel just across from the Louvre. Then head inside the museum for a carefully curated tour that highlights the most iconic works in its impressive collection. You won't worry about getting lost as your guide leads you to world-famous artwork including da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Michelangelo's Slaves, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace, a 2nd century BC piece described as the world's “greatest masterpiece of Hellenistic sculpture.”
As you walk between the galleries, your guide brings the collection to life with fascinating tales of artists like Antonio Canova, Théodore Géricault, Eugène Delacroix, and Jacques-Louis David. Unravel the mystery of the Mona Lisa and learn why da Vinci's painting is considered one of the most important in the world. With a personal headset so you always hear your guide, you also dive into the history of the palatial building itself, admiring its opulent stonework and intricate frescoes and learning of the royal dramas that once played out in these rooms.
