With over 30,000 works on display, it’s easy to drift directionless from room to room in the vast Louvre. Let your private guide, a licensed art expert, turn your visit into a focused, meaningful journey, bringing clarity to key works and sharing the context behind them. And with your skip-the-line ticket, you spend more time with the art, less in a queue.

Your guided visit transcends the typical tourist checklist. As you pass thousands of priceless paintings, sculptures, and artifacts spanning centuries, your guide brings both world-famous treasures and lesser-known works to life with sharp insight and vivid storytelling. You’ll learn about art, yes, but also the people (and sometimes drama) behind the masterpieces.

Your guide can curate this tour to suit your interests and pace — just let them know what moves you. Whether you want to spend longer decoding the symbols in the Louvre’s medieval foundations or simply ponder the beauty of the Venus de Milo or the Mona Lisa’s mysterious smile, there’s so much to soak up. 

The Louvre has a way of dazzling with its grandeur. This private tour makes it personal.

Amazing art historian

Our guide was an amazing art historian that pointed out relevant art while providing the story behind each piece. It really brought everything to life. Her stories behind important art vs famous art was so intriguing.

Enjoyed it

Private tour suitable for children of all ages. We were with our 8-year-old daughter and 78-year-old grandma, and we really enjoyed it. Julian took great care of us from start to finish and was able to inspire us with his knowledge.
