Itinerary
Begin by meeting your guide under the statue of Louis XIV in front of the famous glass pyramid, and learn all about the history of this building before it became the museum we know and love today.
Your Louvre Museum Tour will take you to all of the most iconic paintings and sculptures housed in two of this massive museum's three wings. Your guide will highlight the most influential works from a wide range of periods including Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, the Renaissance, Neoclassicism and Romanticism. In the Ancient Egypt collections, take a close look at the sleek granite Great Sphinx of Tanis, considered to be the biggest and best-preserved in any Western museum. Explore two of Ancient Greece's globally recognizable sculptures - the armless Venus de Milo and the headless Winged Victory of Samothrace, universally considered some of the best-surviving original Hellenistic sculptures. See Paolo Veronese's Wedding Feast of Cana, JacquesLouis David's Coronation of Napoleon, Théodore Géricault's Raft of Medusa, and more. And of course, the Mons Lisa! Of all the thousands of paintings housed in the Louvre, Da Vinci's Mona Lisa remains its most popular and enigmatic work.

Traveler reviews
Multi Generational Huge Success
Diane and Kurt did an excellent job of creating a first rate experience for a 3 generational family. Our six yr old grandson was mesmerized by all that we thx to these personable, knowledgeable and creative guides. Highly recommend Liv Tours generally and these guides specifically..
Tour Paris with Laurent!
Laurent was pleasant and knowledgeable. He helped us appreciate the art and architecture and history.
Private Tour w/ Jennifer at the Louvre
We toured the louvre with Jennifer and she was amazing! So knowledgable and upbeat. Kept things very interesting and fun!
Paris Night Tour
Vivianne was exceptional. Our family (parents and one teenager) learned a million things but also moved through to the highlights whenever things got slow. She adapted her tour to us and was a joy. Book the 4:30 start as it helps with crowd size.
Great way to see the Louvre!
Diane did such an amazing job for us!! We enjoyed so much her enthusiasm and knowledge! Thank you Diane!!
