About this tour
Skip the logistics and dive straight into the Louvre with a private guide who knows the museum inside out. This 2.5-hour tour includes hotel pickup, expert navigation through the galleries, and a personalised route built around what genuinely interests you. Your guide moves at a human pace, steering clear of the tourist herds, so you'll actually absorb what you're looking at rather than just ticking boxes. The Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and lesser-known gems all feature, explained with real knowledge rather than rehearsed spiel. Afterwards, stay as long as you like or grab lunch nearby—the museum is yours to explore solo.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your accommodation and takes you straight to the museum entrance. Once inside, expect a relaxed walk through carefully chosen galleries rather than a sprint through every room. Your guide shares context and stories about the works, pointing out details most visitors miss. Security queues can stretch to 20 minutes during peak season—factor that in. Some galleries occasionally close or artworks go on loan for restoration, so flexibility helps. The pace suits all fitness levels, and prams, strollers, and specialist seats are available if needed. When the formal tour ends (around 2.5 hours in), you're free to stay and explore independently or head out.
