Your Itinerary

Your tour begins just outside the Louvre Museum

Meet your private guide outside the Louvre Pyramid and kick things off with an introduction to the Louvre. Because this is a private tour, your guide will tailor the pace, path, and stories to your liking. Just let them know your preferences!

Enter the Louvre Museum with your private guide

After using your timed-entry tickets, head through security and into the Denon Wing. Here, your guide will share a quick overview of the Louvre's history and how it started as a royal palace before becoming the museum it is today.

Wander the galleries that interest you

Here's where being on a private tour really pays off. Tell your guide what you want to see, wether its Egyptian antiquities, Dutch masters, Islamic art - the tour guide adjusts the path around your interests.

Discover the Venus de Milo and Winged Victory of Samothrace

Two of the most famous sculptures in the world are right here. Your guide walks you through what makes the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace so special, and why people have been stopping in their tracks to look at them for centuries.

Seek out the Sleeping Hermaphroditus

This one tends to surprise people. The Sleeping Hermaphroditus lies on a marble mattress carved by Bernini, and it never fails to start a conversation. Your guide explains the mythology behind it and why it's worth slowing down for.

Come face-to-face with the Mona Lisa

Every visitor wants to see it, and now you will. Your guide shares the real story behind da Vinci's portrait of Lisa Gherardini, including how it was stolen in 1911 and why such a small painting became the most talked-about artwork on earth.

Walk through the Grande Galerie's monumental French paintings

Next up are some of France's most powerful paintings. From Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People to David's Coronation of Napoleon, these are enormous canvases with big stories behind them.

Your tour ends after your guided visit inside the Louvre

Your final highlight is Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss, displayed in the Michelangelo Gallery in the Denon Wing. Then, take the opportunity to ask your guide any final questions before bidding farewell.
