About this tour
A private two-hour guided tour through the Louvre in Paris, led by an art historian who tailors the experience to your interests. Beyond the famous paintings—Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo—you'll discover the overlooked galleries, technical details, and historical contexts that bring the collection to life. The guide adjusts pace and focus based on what engages you, steering clear of the rushed crowd-management approach typical of large museum visits.

- Deep-dive into stories behind iconic and lesser-known works
- Entrance ticket included; skip queuing separately
- Fully wheelchair accessible, pram-friendly throughout

What to expect
You'll meet your guide at an agreed entry point and move through galleries at a conversational pace. Rather than ticking boxes, you'll spend time with artworks that genuinely interest you—whether Renaissance paintings, sculpture, or decorative arts. Your guide asks what draws you in and builds the narrative around those preferences. Expect fewer people than on group tours, more breathing room, and genuine discussion rather than rehearsed speeches. The Louvre remains vast, so you won't see everything, but you'll see what matters to you.
Good to know
Bring comfortable walking shoes; wear layers as museum temperatures vary. The €22 adult ticket is included, but under-18s and EU residents under 26 enter free with ID. Wheelchairs and prams manoeuvre easily throughout. Public transport is steps away. No food included, so plan café stops.
