Amazing tour guides!

Our guide was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, articulate, and fun. This is the second time we have done a group guided tour of the Louvre highlights, and we could not have been more pleased. We were a family of 16. Ages ranged from 2 to 84. And even the young children were engaged.

Incredible Louvre Tour!

Our guide was truly amazing! She had extensive knowledge, but what stood out the most was her great personality and ability to tell a story. It felt like she transported us back in time and painted a detailed picture of history. I certainly learned a lot and enjoyed it.

DESCRIPTION

Guided Louvre Museum Tour

Book this Louvre Museum-guided tour and gain priority entry to the largest museum on Earth. Follow your passionate guide on a carefully designed route made to maximize your time at the Museum, so you can see all of the Louvre’s top highlights.

Listen to your tour guide as they bring art to life through the Louvre Museum’s vast galleries during your informative tour. Marvel at Da Vinci’s world-famous and iconic painting of the Mona Lisa, see the crown jewels of the French Monarchy, and feel the passion coming from Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People. 

View Egyptian relics and marvel at the impressive Greek and Roman antiquities collection, including the celebrated Winged Victory of Samothrace and the legendary Venus de Milo. 

Admire the timeless sculptures by Canova and Michelangelo, iconic works from the French Romanticism period like The Raft of the Medusa, and Neoclassical paintings by Jacques-Louis David. 

Once your guided tour is finished, you can spend some free time at the Louvre Museum, exploring over 380,000 displayed objects. Book your tour online, see the art in person, and learn to appreciate Louvre’s treasures, or continue exploring the treasures of the French monarchy at the royal family's countryside residence on a half-day trip to Versailles from Paris.

PRO TIP

The Winged Victory of Samothrace is best experienced from the very bottom of the Daru staircase, not halfway up like most groups do. Hang back for 60 to 90 seconds after the group moves on, and you might get a moment with the sculpture without the crowd flow breaking your view.

FAQ – Louvre Tour

How long does it take to tour the Louvre Museum?

A usual tour of the Louvre Museum lasts at least two hours.

Is a Louvre tour worth it?

Going to see the Louvre is one of the top things you should do when visiting Paris, and it’s definitely worth it to go on a Louvre tour. The museum is vast, and there are hundreds of thousands of objects inside this royal palace, so navigating it on your own can be a bit confusing and overwhelming. That’s why booking a Louvre tour or any other structured Paris tour is one of the best ways to explore the city and truly understand what you’re seeing.

What else can I visit close to the Louvre?

The Louvre Museum is located in the heart of Paris, surrounded by many other must-see attractions. You can book your tickets to L'Orangerie and admire impressionist highlights, or take an Orsay Museum guided tour, as Orsay is the second most visited museum in Paris, right next to the Louvre. Nearby, you'll also find Notre-Dame, and while you're there, don’t miss the chance to book your Sainte-Chapelle tickets in advance and enjoy its breathtaking stained glass. After that, take a 15-minute walk to the Sorbonne area and end your day exploring French history with your Panthéon skip the line tickets.
