Louvre Museum: Dedicated Entry + Guided Tour

Additional Information & Description

The Louvre Museum’s last-entry guided tour brings you to the Mona Lisa as the day draws to a close, away from the heaving afternoon crowds. In the Mona Lisa Room, take a closer look at the small but monumental painting in the quieter conditions that make this late visit distinctive.

A guided route through a vast collection

The Louvre displays around 35,000 artifacts at any given time. Its collections span Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Greek antiquities, alongside masterpieces by artists including Da Vinci and Rembrandt. Rather than attempting to cover that enormous range, this tour explores the museum’s essential sections with an expert guide. The focus gives you a defined route through a museum whose scale is part of its appeal, with selected works providing the substance of the visit.

Below the palace

The visit reaches beyond the galleries to the palace’s foundations at the moat. Here, your guide introduces the building beneath the museum, adding a different dimension to a visit usually associated with paintings and sculpture. The Louvre’s classical exterior and glass pyramid are well-known features of central Paris; the foundations bring the building itself into the guided itinerary.

Greek statues and sculpted figures

Among the collection of Classical Greek statues, seek out the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace with your guide. The sculpture itinerary also includes Cupid and Psyche and Michelangelo’s Slaves. These named works give the tour a substantial sculptural focus, with individual figures and groups to examine rather than galleries simply to pass through.

A pivotal moment in French history

Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People brings French history into the route. Pause before the painting with your expert guide and engage with the pivotal moment it depicts. This stop shifts the visit from sculpted figures to a historical scene expressed through painting.

Dedicated entry and digital tickets

The ticket includes dedicated, skip-the-line entry, a guided tour and a live guide, with access at the museum’s last entry of the day. The Louvre Museum is on Rue de Rivoli in Paris. Tickets are delivered instantly, and smartphone tickets are accepted.
