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.

  • Mona Lisa First Viewing Private Tour was awesome!!

    This was an incredible experience. We had the chance to see the Mona Lisa first and enjoy it before the crowds arrived. Thank you, LivTours, for making this possible. Our guide, Meng, was exceptional and taught us so much during our visit to the Louvre.

  • Excellent First Viewing of the Mona Lisa Tour

    Our guide was incredibly effective in getting us to the Mona Lisa as soon as the Louvre opened! Afterward, she provided a fantastic tour of the other Louvre highlights, showcasing her wealth of knowledge. I only wish the tour had been longer! Additionally, LivTours was exceptional to work with, and I appreciate their assistance in setting up my tour!

  • Mona Lisa 1st viewing!

    Experiencing the first viewing of the Mona Lisa was fantastic. We were able to get up close and take pictures easily at the Mona Lisa and other areas of the museum before the crowds arrived. While others stood in long lines in the rain, we bypassed all of that. We spent from 8:30 to 3:00 wandering the museum, with a delightful coffee and sweet break mid-morning. It was a pleasure, and our guide was excellent!

  • Great tour to see Mona Lisa and much more!

    Our guide, Claudia, was fantastic! With her art history major, she was incredibly informative and made the tour both fun and exciting. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you want to see the Mona Lisa. The tour uses a private entrance closer to the Mona Lisa, allowing easy access to the front of the room with only about 40 other people present. It was simple to get pictures and a selfie with the painting. As we were leaving, the room started to fill up. The tour also covered Winged Victory, Venus de Milo, and many other amazing artworks. Great tour and an excellent guide! Thank you, Claudia!
