This special early morning private tour will enable you to view Leonardo Da Vinci’s world-famous masterpiece, the Mona Lisa, without the crowds. On entering the Louvre, your guide will lead you through the maze of halls and corridors straight to the Mona Lisa herself. You’ll pass by many exquisite treasures – but we promise you’ll see them properly later.

The Louvre was formerly the palace of the Kings and Queens of France, and today is the most visited museum in the world. With over 8 miles of galleries, 10,000 years of history, and some 550,000 works of art, “only” 35,000 of which are displayed at any one time, it is essential you have a guide to help you navigate this confusing labyrinth.

Without the usual crowds jostling for prime position, you’ll be able to view the Mona Lisa in a relaxed and peaceful way and hear her story, from the enigmatic smile to the astonishing and shocking theft that took place in 1911.

As other visitors begin to enter, you’ll quietly exit to enjoy a private tour of the other highlights of the Louvre. You’ll see all the major pieces from the Italian Renaissance and the magnificent Greco-Roman antiquities such as the Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace. Your tour ends inside the museum, to enable you to continue exploring at your own pace if you so please. You are also welcome to exit the Louvre with your guide, who will be delighted to help you plan the rest of your morning in Paris.

  • Best Way to See the Louvre

    I can’t imagine doing the Louvre any other way now. The early entrance, the expert guidance, the calm pacing—it was perfect. From Mona Lisa’s enigmatic smile to the glittering jewels and towering Winged Victory, this tour gave us the museum’s greatest hits in the best format possible.

    - Sophia Delgado
  • Unique Access Few Get

    When I looked back at the crowd that formed just minutes after we left the Mona Lisa room, I realized how rare this experience was. Having space to really see her, and then being led through the Louvre’s greatest works, made me deeply grateful we chose LivTours.

    - Andrew McCarthy
  • Unforgettable Family Memory

    Traveling with our teenage daughters, we were nervous about their interest level. But seeing the Mona Lisa nearly alone captured their attention instantly. The guide kept them engaged with stories of art thefts and scandals, and by the end they were asking for more time in the museum.

    - Monica Alvarez
  • Well Worth the Investment

    Yes, it’s a splurge, but for art lovers or anyone who hates crowds, this is absolutely worth it. Our guide Santiago was fantastic, tailoring the explanations to our interests. It felt like a masterclass in art history delivered in the most iconic museum in the world.

    - James Wallace
  • Simply Magical Morning

    Paris in the morning has a certain charm, and entering the Louvre early only amplified it. Standing face-to-face with the Mona Lisa with hardly anyone around felt almost spiritual. I would recommend this experience to anyone visiting Paris.
