Private Louvre Tour

The Louvre holds 35,000 artworks, and the difference between a great visit and an exhausting one is knowing exactly where to walk. This is 2.5 hours with your own licensed guide — skip-the-line tickets included, the essential masterpieces guaranteed, the route customized to what your group actually cares about, and the crowds handled by someone who knows how.

The Facts

What You See

Guaranteed stops, plus anything you ask for — your guide knows the entire collection:

• The Mona Lisa — approached the way that avoids the worst of the crowd
• Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace
• The Great Sphinx of Tanis and the Egyptian galleries
• Napoleon’s Coronation, Liberty Leading the People, and the Raft of the Medusa
• Michelangelo’s Slaves
• The medieval fortress foundations — the castle under the museum most visitors never find

The Tour, In Order

You meet your guide in front of the Pyramid by the Equestrian Statue of Louis XIV, and the skip-the-line tickets do their work immediately — past the queue and into the collection. From there the route is built around your group: the guaranteed masterpieces are woven together with the corners that match your interests, whether that’s Egyptian archaeology, Napoleon, or the building’s own history as a medieval fortress and royal palace.

The register matters here: this is not an art-history seminar. Our guides are selected for expertise and for the ability to tell the story of a painting the way a knowledgeable friend would — why it matters, what to look at, what happened around it — and then move, because pace is what makes 2.5 hours in the Louvre exhilarating instead of overwhelming.

When the tour ends, your ticket doesn’t — stay as long as you like, revisit what grabbed you, or take lunch at the museum café. Most guests do exactly that.

Why This Tour

• Skip-the-line entry included — the queue outside can run past an hour in season
• Private means your questions, your pace, your interests — maximum 6, just your party
• The Mona Lisa crowd problem is real; a guide who works the room daily solves it
• Fully wheelchair accessible, with free wheelchair and stool rental — and we route accordingly

The Honest Notes

• The Louvre is closed Tuesdays and holidays — plan around it
• 35,000 artworks means nobody sees it all; 2.5 curated hours beats 6 unguided ones
• Museum floors are marble and the galleries are long — comfortable shoes
• Peak season and weekend mornings are the busiest; smaller crowds come with the late-afternoon slots
• Want the Musée d’Orsay too? We run a private Louvre + Orsay combo — ask us

Frequently Asked Questions

Are tickets really included?

Yes — skip-the-line entrance tickets for your whole party are part of the price, along with your licensed guide.

Can we request specific artworks?

Absolutely — tell us in advance or ask on the spot. Your guide knows the full collection, and building the route around your interests is the point of a private tour.

Is it good for kids?

Very — guides adjust the storytelling for younger visitors, and the sphinx, the fortress foundations, and Napoleon reliably win over kids who expected to be dragged through a museum.

Can we stay after the tour?

Yes — your ticket is valid for the rest of the day. Stay, wander, or have lunch at the café.

Is hotel pick-up available?

Yes, for an additional fee — otherwise the meeting point is in front of the Pyramid, by the Equestrian Statue of Louis XIV. Call or text 424-386-5222 to arrange either.
