Description
The Louvre holds over 380,000 works across 72,000 square metres. Left alone, most visitors wander in circles, spend 45 seconds in front of the Mona Lisa and leave feeling vaguely overwhelmed. That's not what Paris Unscripted does. With a maximum of 6 guests, this is as close to a private tour as you can get without paying private tour prices. Your expert licensed guide, fluent in the museum's history, art and hidden corners - will take you on a curated journey through the ancient civilisations, Renaissance masterpieces and French royal collections that make the Louvre unlike anywhere else on earth. A small, intimate group means you'll hear every word, ask every question and leave with genuine understanding and not just photographs.
