What to expect

With no lines, an enthusiastic guide, headsets to make sure you don’t miss a word and a small group of 10 or fewer, this comprehensive tour of the Louvre will leave a lasting impression on you. Discover the very best of the Louvre collection, from masterpieces like the Mona Lisa to works by less famous artists that will steal your heart. An expert, English-speaking guide will lead you through the collection and tell you stories that bring art to life.

Don't just see the Louvre, really experience this monument to world culture. You'll learn about the numerous theories regarding who da Vinci's Mona Lisa really was. At Gericault's Raft of Medusa, you'll hear about the newspaper story it was based on, which told of a crew stranded on a raft who eventually resorted to cannibalism. You'll learn about the French Revolution as depicted by the great artists of France and even a little Flemish history along the way!

See all the most important works such as the Mona Lisa, Canova's Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss, Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People, Venus di Milo and the stunning Victory of Samothrace, as well as less famous works including some of France's underappreciated geniuses. Of course, you'll have time to explore the Louvre as a Royal Palace too, visiting the Napoleon Apartments and a stunning collection of crowns and jewels.
