Head inside the Louvre for a carefully curated tour that highlights the most iconic works in its impressive collection. You won't worry about getting lost as your guide leads you to world-famous artwork including da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Michelangelo's Slaves, and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. As you walk between the galleries, your guide brings the collection to life with fascinating tales of artists like Canova, Géricault, Delacroix, and David. You'll also dive into the history of the palatial building itself, admiring its opulent stonework and intricate frescoes and learning of the royal dramas that once played out in these rooms.

Traveler reviews
Good tour
Night tour. Loved the guide. Highly recommend! Guide was very personable . Would do it again!!!!!!!!
The best Tour Guide EVER!
It was fantastic!!!! The guide was really knowledgable, friendly and went above and beyond in providing history of the art, the artists and context. He shared analogous art and was very accommodating to questions that were fundamental as well as complex. The guide filled in for another guide who fell ill. It was his third tour of the day but showed the exuberance and energy as if it was his first!! I vould not have been more satisfied and pleased. Well worth every cent we paid for the tour. Going in the evening made it great because although it was still a little crowded it was definitely open enough to get close to all the art which were part of the tour. Even the Mona Lisa was not crazy.
Very sad!
The louvre was closed due to the extreme heat and we were notified that it was closed. We have yet to receive our refund. 4 days ago I was told I’d be contacted within 24 hours and have heard nothing more.
Excellent experience with our tour guide!
We had THE BEST tour with an amazing guide. It was 100 degrees Fahrenheit and our guide was a trooper and kept us in the shade and gave us a great experience through Paris.
Do not use this company
Would not recommend using this company. They booked a different tour name with a meeting point two miles away, no refund offered.
