Description
On this Louvre guided tour a licensed English-speaking guide leads a group of no more than six people along a route chosen to show the museum at its best. Two hours is enough to see the big names without getting lost in the galleries, and the small group keeps the visit personal.
The route passes the works everyone has come for, and the guide explains the hidden symbols, the history and the stories behind them, so the paintings and sculptures stop being just things to photograph.
- The Mona Lisa
- The Venus de Milo, together with the Winged Victory of Samothrace
- Works by Michelangelo, Veronese and Jacques-Louis David
Besides the icons, the guide points out lesser-known pieces, so you leave with a sense of how art, history and storytelling fit together in this museum. The tour is interactive and fun rather than a lecture.
Booking covers the guide and the museum entry ticket, so there is nothing more to arrange at the door. Under-18s, and EEA residents under 26 showing valid ID, can enter the museum free when they visit on their own rather than with a group tour.
