What To Expect
Louvre Museum
Discover the main masterpieces of the Louvre Museum and its history. Did you know that the Louvre was a fortress before being a museum? Your professional licensed guide will take you to the oldest room in the Museum. It is almost 800 years old. You will have the feeling to be back in medieval times. You will discover the great sphinx of Tanis, an opportunity to mention the strong links between Egypt and Paris. Then you will visit the department of Greek antiquities. It is one of the richest in the museum. You will see among others: the Venus de Milo and the Victory of Samothrace. Your guide will tell you some stories from mythology in the beautiful Caryatides room (old ballroom of the castle). In the Italian gallery (800 meter long) you will admire the masterpieces of the Italian masters: Mantegna, Raphael, Caravaggio, Veronese ... Of course you will also see the Mona Lisa by Leonard. In the French department, you will see large paintings such as the "Sacre de Napoleon" or "La Mort de Sardanapale". They are bigger than many appartments in Paris... The tour will also include the impressive sculptures of Mesopotamia such as the Khorsabad Bulls or the Hammurabi code. The Dutch department with its Rubens, Vermeer and Rembrandt is less crowded and quite exceptional also. You understand that your visit will be particularly rich and will include the main treasures of the Museum. During this private tour, you will be able to ask everything you wanted to know about the Louvre to your expert guide.

5.00If you are privileged to have Olga as your guide you will have an experience to remember in the Louvre. She is detailed oriented and knowledgeable as well as kind and gracious. Days later you might here her quiet voice once again reiterating a detail of the many paintings and sculptures she introduces you too. Excellent private tour!!
An amazing experience and a superb guide!

5.00This was an excellent way to get an introduction the Louvre. Our guide, Vincent, got us into the museum efficiently and progressed through all three main areas at our pace and in orderly fashion. We were able to provide him with our areas of interest for him to focus on. Vincent was personable, knowledgeable, and knew exactly how to manage our way through what is otherwise an overwhelming experience. I highly recommend this tour!!
