Opt for an alternative experience of the Louvre on a 2-hour tour that focuses on the behind-the-scenes stories of this famous art museum. This private tour offers a unique perspective on masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace, and many more. Learn the secrets, scandals, and fascinating tales from history that will enrich your understanding of the world’s largest art museum.
Your reserved time-slot gives you quick access to the Louvre so you’re not waiting to buy tickets. Once inside, you’ll make the most of your time visiting the finest galleries and art pieces, led by your expert licensed Louvre guide.
Head back in time to the period when the Louvre was a fortress, as you walk through the shadows of the Medieval Foundations. Soon you will come face to face with the Great Sphinx of Tanis whose riddles have puzzled for thousands of years. Throughout your tour you will walk past thousands of paintings, sculptures and artifacts, and hear scandalous tales of murder and cannibalism. Your tour has been carefully planned to stop at over a dozen of the world’s most well-known works of art, all of which hold secrets and gossip, bringing it all to life in a new way you never imagined. The tour concludes at the most famous lady of them all, Mona Lisa. From here, once you tear yourself away from the bewitching Mona Lisa smile, you are free to stay in the museum as long as you wish and your tour guide will provide handy tips for other marvels to behold on your own.
You will make your own way to the meeting points
Plan to arrive to the check-in 15 minutes before your tour start time. You will not need tickets or vouchers, just give your name. The guide will have your tickets for the museum. The meeting point is next to the statue of Louis XIV on horseback in front of the Louvre Pyramid. Your guide will be in this area holding an orange sign that reads "ExperienceFirst".
