About this tour

Skip the queues and see the Louvre's greatest hits with a private guide who knows every corner of the museum.

You'll get timed entry and finish with the option to wander the galleries solo if you fancy longer with any particular room.

What to expect

You'll meet your guide at the museum and head straight into the galleries with your entrance sorted. The 2-hour span gets you through the unmissable masterpieces without the usual crowd crush. Your guide reads the room—literally and figuratively—and can pivot toward what grabs your interest, whether that's Renaissance portraiture or Egyptian antiquities. Expect to stand and walk at a steady clip; the guide will point out details and context you'd miss on your own. After the scheduled time, the Louvre is yours to explore further if you wish, or you can call it a day.
