Be the first to enter the Louvre Museum in the morning, and make a direct walk to the Mona Lisa – the most famous portrait in the world.
With over 8 miles of galleries – which is the length of the Seine believe it or not – your guide will skillfully navigate you through the Louvre – taking shortcuts to ensure you’re the first to reach Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. You’ll get as close to her as possible to enjoy a peaceful and fascinating viewing experience without the usual crowds. Your guide will tell you all about the painting – from her enigmatic smile to the scandalous theft in 1911 that shook the art world. You’ll also learn all about the life and times of Da Vinci himself.
When you’ve had your time with her, and other visitors start to enter, you’ll be taken on a fully guided tour of the other highlights of the Louvre you passed on your initial walk in. See the Italian Renaissance collection, visit the exquisite jewelry room, admire the vast painting of Napoleon’s Coronation, and gaze on the magnificent Greco-Roman antiquities such as the Venus de Milo, and the glorious Winged Victory of Samothrace.
The Louvre, once the palace of the Kings and Queens of France, is the most visited museum in the world today. With over 10,000 years of history and a collection of some 550,000 works, only 35,000 of which are on display, your guide will show you the very best of the Museum. Strategically, your tour finishes inside the museum so you can continue exploring at your own leisure, or you may prefer to accompany your guide outside and get top tips on how to spend the rest of your morning in Paris.

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.
