Enter the museum as it's getting ready to close, taking advantage of this time of day to admire the painting among fewer people. Plus, see the museum's other masterpieces with an art historian guide. Tour is limited to 15 people for a small-group experience.
  • Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa is one of the most famous paintings in the world; and among the most difficult to see. For most of the day, her room in the Louvre is packed to the brim with people jostling to get a peek at her. However our expert guides have created specially-timed itineraries that allow you to see the Mona Lisa at the best possible time. Enjoy some peaceful moments with the mysterious lady and your knowledgeable tour guide. You'll be able to get close enough to see her tiny canvas - and even snap a photo or two with the Louvre's leading lady.
  • The itinerary of our Louvre tour has been tested over countless visits to ensure you get a full two hours and 30 minutes inside the galleries. Along with your expert guide, you'll enjoy all the highlights of the collection including the Medieval moat and Greek and Roman sculptures like the Venus de Milo, Winged Victory of Samothrace, Cupid & Psyche, and Michelangelo’s Slaves.
  • Of course, this is Paris' greatest art museum, so you'll also visit some of the greatest works created by French artists. Works such as Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix, The Raft of Medusa by Géricault and the enormous Coronation of Napoleon by Jacques-Louis David, Napoleon's official staff painter. These canvases are the perfect jumping-off point into conversations about France's fascinating history. As you admire these stunning artworks, your guide will decode Delacroix's message from the French Revolution and Géricault devastating portrayal of a real-life event. They'll also tell you how the size of Napoleon's canvas says a thing or two about his insecurities.
  • On your complete Louvre tour, you’ll also see France’s old crown jewels along with works from the Italian masters Caravaggio, Raphael, and of course, Leonardo da Vinci.
  • Of course, location must not be overlooked. As you move from one stunning room to the next, your guide will give you the history of the building - once a royal residence where one young prince in particular rode his horse up and down the corridors. At times, it will be hard to take you eyes off the architecture to focus on the art - just another reason why this is one of the world's greatest art museums.
  • By visiting in the company of an expert art historian guide and a small group of no more than 15 people, you won't just see some of the greatest masterpieces in Europe, you'll learn the stories behind them. From why the French lied about the age of the Venus de Milo, to who, exactly posed for the Mona Lisa, this is art like you've never experienced it before.

Description Summary
  • See the Mona Lisa at her most peaceful time on our carefully-crafted itinerary. This Louvre Tour walks you through the best of the collection, from French paintings to Italian sculptures and even the palace's moat foundations, in a small group and with an expert local guide. So you're guaranteed to get the best from this once-in-a-lifetime visit.
  • The best way to see the Mona Lisa is without the crowds that almost always surround her. Because there is no way to get her all to yourself, we’ve done the next best thing: As the museum starts to close and everyone else rushes for the doors, we take advantage of the natural thinning of crowds. Entering at this time, you’ll find the room almost totally empty so you can get up close to the great lady for a peaceful 20 minute visit with your guide. Of course you’ll see the best of the rest too. You’ll spend 3 hours viewing the very best artwork in the Louvre with an art historian, learning what makes these masterpieces so world-renowned.

Description
  • Leonardo da Vinci's *Mona Lisa* is one of the most famous paintings in the world; and among the most difficult to see. For most of the day, her room in the Louvre is packed to the brim with people jostling to get a peek at her. However our expert guides have created specially-timed itineraries that allow you to see the *Mona Lisa* at the best possible time. Enjoy some peaceful moments with the mysterious lady and your knowledgeable tour guide. You'll be able to get close enough to see her tiny canvas - and even snap a photo or two with the Louvre's leading lady. 
  • The itinerary of our Louvre tour has been tested over countless visits to ensure you get a full two hours and 30 minutes inside the galleries. Along with your expert guide, you'll enjoy all the highlights of the collection including the Medieval moat and Greek and Roman sculptures like the *Venus de Milo*, *Winged Victory of Samothrace*, *Cupid & Psyche*, and Michelangelo’s *Slaves*.
  • Of course, this is Paris' greatest art museum, so you'll also visit some of the greatest works created by French artists. Works such as *Liberty Leading the People* by Delacroix, *The Raft of Medusa* by Géricault and the enormous *Coronation of Napoleon* by Jacques-Louis David, Napoleon's official staff painter. These canvases are the perfect jumping-off point into conversations about France's fascinating history. As you admire these stunning artworks, your guide will decode Delacroix's message from the French Revolution and Géricault devastating portrayal of a real-life event. They'll also tell you how the size of Napoleon's canvas says a thing or two about his insecurities.
  • On your complete Louvre tour, you’ll also see France’s old crown jewels along with works from the Italian masters Caravaggio, Raphael, and of course, Leonardo da Vinci.
  • Of course, location must not be overlooked. As you move from one stunning room to the next, your guide will give you the history of the building - once a royal residence where one young prince in particular rode his horse up and down the corridors. At times, it will be hard to take you eyes off the architecture to focus on the art - just another reason why this is one of the world's greatest art museums. 
  • By visiting in the company of an expert art historian guide and a small group of no more than 15 people, you won't just see some of the greatest masterpieces in Europe, you'll learn the stories behind them. From why the French lied about the age of the *Venus de Milo*, to who, exactly posed for the *Mona Lisa*, this is art like you've never experienced it before. 
  • As one of the world’s most famous paintings, the Mona Lisa rarely gets much peace. During regular visiting hours she is almost constantly mobbed by hundreds of people, severely compromising any time you get to spend with her. In order to avoid the crowds, we’ll take you to see her after most visitors have left and give you plenty of space to enjoy her beauty. 
  • Tested and perfected through countless research trips, your itinerary inverts the normal Louvre route allowing you to see much more than other visitors who are on the normal tours that try to fit the rest of the museum into 1.5 hours. 
  • During the tour, your guide will show you the Louvre’s most treasured sights, including the historic foundations of the Kings’ palace moat, Greek and Roman sculptures like the ‘Venus de Milo’, ‘Cupid & Psyche’, and Michelangelo’s ‘Slaves’; and many of the greatest works ever created by French artists such as Liberty Leading the People by Delacroix and ‘The Raft of Medusa by Géricault. You’ll also see France’s old crown jewels, the world famous ‘Winged Victory’ monument, and works from Italian painters like Caravaggio, Raphael, and da Vinci. 
  • There are many ways to see the Louvre, but only one way shows you all the best works and gets you in front of the Mona Lisa after most of the crowds have left. Your guide takes care of all the time and logistics so all you have to do is enjoy the art.
  • IMPORTANT NOTE: From July 21st 2021, all sites in Paris that we visit during our tours are requiring clients and guides alike to provide proof of vaccination or a negative test within the past 48-hours for entry. You can read more about it on the French Government website (https://www.gouvernement.fr/en/coronavirus-covid-19).
