Paris: Louvre Museum Small-Group Guided Tour - Tickets & Priority Entry

Explore the Louvre's must-see route
with your guide

Meet your guide at France Tourisme, about a 3–5 minute walk from the Louvre, and receive your pre-booked timed-entry ticket. After a short introduction to the history of the museum and the former royal palace, head together to the group entrance. Go straight into the heart of the Louvre without queuing for tickets (security checks still apply).

Meet the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory

Rather than trying to see every room, your guide follows a route that balances the essential highlights with key background stories. Admire the Venus de Milo and classical sculptures in the Greek and Roman antiquities collection, and hear how the Winged Victory of Samothrace, set atop a grand staircase, was discovered.

Hear Da Vinci's secrets in front of the Mona Lisa

Continue to the Italian Renaissance galleries to see Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Because the group is small, your guide can find a good viewing spot away from the crowds and explain the stories behind the painting, such as the sfumato technique. You will also see works by other Italian masters nearby.

Admire great works of French painting

Next, admire large historical canvases depicting kings, emperors and revolution in the French painting galleries. Depending on the tour date and route, your guide focuses on iconic Neoclassical and Romantic works and shows how artists told stories through color and composition.

The guided tour lasts about 2 hours and ends inside the museum. Afterwards, you can continue exploring freely within the same area.

※ The works visited and the route may vary depending on the tour date and gallery conditions.
