During your Louvre tour, you’ll explore the most iconic paintings and sculptures located in two out of three of the museum’s expansive wings. Your guide will highlight influential works spanning various periods, including Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, the Renaissance, Neoclassicism, and Romanticism. Additionally, you’ll learn about the evolution of this 12th-century fortress and palace that transformed into France’s greatest museum.

In the Ancient Egypt collections, take a close look at the sleek granite Great Sphinx of Tanis. Discovered in an Egyptian temple in the 1800s, this piece is considered to be the biggest and best-preserved in any Western museum.

Next, delve into two globally recognized sculptures from Ancient Greece’s: the armless Venus de Milo and the headless Winged Victory of Samothrace. Despite missing some parts, these goddesses are universally considered some of the best surviving original Hellenistic sculptures.

Just a short walk from Venus de Milo you will get a chance to see some impressive Italian sculptures including Michelangelo’s powerful Rebellious Slave & Dying Slave as well as Canova’s passionate Cupid & Psyche.

Before experiencing Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, you’ll explore a few other eye-catching pieces the Louvre offers. This includes stops at Paolo Veronese’s Wedding Feast of Cana, Jacques-Louis David’s Coronation of Napoleon, and icons of French Romanticism like Delacroix’s Liberty Leading the People and Théodore Géricault’s Raft of Medusa.

Mona Lisa

Of all the thousands of paintings housed in the Louvre, Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa remains the most popular and perplexing piece. Supposedly the portrait of a 16th-century Italian noblewoman, this painting has bewitched billions over the years and inspired countless songs, films, and novels. Your guide will shed light on how this painting became one of the most well-known art works in the world.

All LivTours Semi-Private Group Tours are limited to 6 guests per tour guide. Our commitment to maintaining our uniquely tiny group sizes can sometimes be a little tricky, mathematically speaking. For example, we want to ensure that traveling families and friends can tour together so on rare occasions we may add one or two guests in order to not split groups. On that same note, you may also find yourself on tour with less than six people! We thank you for your understanding and flexibility.

  • Amazing Tour with Claire

    Claire was so informative, funny, and kind. I learned so much and it was clear she was really passionate about the art while also having a deep understanding of how to effectively communicate it to a group who knew very little. Thanks LivTours for sending Claire our way! Truly a high point of our trip.

  • Amazing Walk Through History!

    Will was our LivTours guide when we visited the Louvre during Thanksgiving 2022 and he was just great! The Louvre has so much ground to cover and tens of thousands of art pieces. Will smartly guided us to the most interesting, biggest pieces and explained their respective historic or artistic significance. Will is certainly a history enthusiast which pairs with my interest. My wife and I really liked the tour. Kudos to Will, we highly recommend him - he is great and we highly recommend the tour itself.

  • Would highly recommend!

    Anthony was great and really showed his love for The Louvre today. We all feel that we had an experience that was accentuated by Anthony’s notice to the often, overlooked details in each piece we talked about. We really enjoyed our time at the louvre and would highly recommend your tour to others!

  • Doing the Louvre with a LivTour guide

    We can highly recommend this tour and this tour company. We have booked other tours with them in other cities around Europe and we have never been disappointed. The Louvre tour is a must!! You won't get as much out of it if you don't take a tour. The LivTour guides are always superb, professional, well prepared and always very friendly. And being in a small group (our group for the Louvre was just 4 of us) really makes a huge difference. You can book this (and any other LivTour tour) knowing you'll get your money's worth!

  • Go ahead and book this tour

    The Louvre is awesome! But we were soooo glad we had booked a tour to see it. And not just any tour but LivTours small group tour. We got (and saw) the best of the best! A wonderful guide to help navigate the endless galleries and crowds, a small intimate group where we could hear everything the guide was saying and could make friends with the others in the group and, last but not least, seeing the greatest artwork ever! You can book this tour without any doubts! It's the best way to see the Louvre!!
