Description
The Louvre holds 35,000 works across 60,000 square metres — most visitors wander for hours and leave having missed almost everything that matters. Your expert guide, officially authorised to guide inside the Louvre, changes that from the first five minutes. Follow a curated route to the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace and the treasures of the Denon Wing — with the stories that bring them alive, including the 1911 theft that made the Mona Lisa the most famous painting on earth. Reserved entry ticket included. Choose semi-private (max 6 guests per guide), fully private, or the evening experience when the galleries are at their quietest.
