Louvre Museum: Dedicated Entry + Small Group Guided Tour

Additional Information & Description

The Louvre Museum in Paris brings an extraordinary range of art and antiquities into the world’s largest museum. This small-group visit gives that vast setting a clear focus: renowned artworks, explored with a guide rather than approached as an unguided collection.

See celebrated paintings and sculptures

The tour highlights include Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo, two of the Louvre’s most celebrated masterpieces. Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss is another work to look out for. These named highlights bring painting and sculpture into the same visit, while your guide provides context for the pieces along the route. The emphasis is on seeing important works and understanding them, rather than simply moving from one recognisable artwork to the next.

A collection spanning cultures and centuries

The museum’s wider holdings encompass Mesopotamian, Egyptian and Greek antiquities, alongside masterpieces by artists including Michelangelo and Rembrandt. Around 35,000 artifacts are displayed at any given time. That scale explains the value of a selective route: this is a highlights-led tour through a vast collection, not an attempt to cover every gallery. The broader collection also places the featured works within a museum whose scope extends well beyond European painting.

Dedicated entry and two hours with a guide

Your ticket includes dedicated entry, a live guide and the guided tour. Dedicated entry saves time at one of the world’s busiest museums, while the two-hour duration gives the visit a defined shape. The guide leads you through the museum and focuses on renowned artworks, helping you reach important highlights within that time. Live guiding is available in English and French.

The Louvre’s exterior

The building has its own visual appeal, with a magnificent classical silhouette and a glass pyramid that creates a striking architectural contrast. Both are well-known features of the Louvre in central Paris, before you reach the art inside.
