What to expect
Your guide will filter the overwhelming scale of the Louvre into a digestible itinerary, highlighting pivotal sculptures and paintings across Greek, Roman, Egyptian and European wings. Expect to walk steadily but with pauses at key galleries for discussion. The guide discusses provenance, technique and cultural context—not just 'what' you're seeing, but why it matters. Two and a half hours is tight; this isn't comprehensive, but strategic. You'll gain a coherent thread through centuries rather than a surface scan.
