What to expect
Your guide meets you at a predetermined entrance and leads you through the museum's most significant galleries, pointing out paintings and sculptures that shaped art history. Expect a conversational pace rather than a lecture – you're encouraged to linger on pieces that grip you and ask the questions tourists usually can't. The Louvre is vast, so your guide's route is deliberately curated to avoid dead ends and queuing bottlenecks. Comfortable shoes matter; you'll cover distance.
