The experience
A licensed guide through the Louvre’s essential works, then free time to keep exploring.
A licensed art historian leads this small-group route, capped at six guests, through the Louvre, starting with priority skip-the-line access under the glass Pyramid. Personal headsets keep the guide’s commentary clear even in the busiest galleries.
The route is built around the museum’s most recognised works — Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace — before continuing through the Denon Wing for Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People and David’s Coronation of Napoleon, the sculpture courtyards, and the antiquities collection.
The guided portion runs for around 2.5 hours. After that, the ticket remains valid for the rest of the visit, so guests can continue exploring the Louvre’s collections independently at their own pace.
