With 35,000+ works, the Louvre is for aficionados and novices alike. But, it is also an endless maze for new visitors. Imagine the delight of breezing into the must-see masterpieces of the Western canon led by an expert who is not only a licensed guide but also a painter. From observing the flowy folds of Winged Victory to uncovering the aesthetic secrets of the Mona Lisa, we will engage with art, intimately.

In a tiny group of maximum 6 visitors, we will unravel the artistry behind these timeless creations, breathing life into each stroke and detail. Traverse the corridors of time and trace the evolution of art from Greek Antiquity to the Italian Renaissance.

Imagine seeing the Louvre through the eyes of an artist. Together, we will understand painting techniques in a manner understandable for all audiences and gain unique insight.

Awesome guided tour. Despite me and my significant other not having much time to explore the louvre and get familiarized with it, Blerta was super helpful and considerate. She guided us to see exactly what we were there for before we had to leave, as well as so much awesome context of everything.
Exciting and informative!

We went on a tour May 3 2025 with Blerta our tour guide and she was AMAZING. She kept the whole tour engaged with questions about the Winged Victory of Samothrace statue alongside the Mona Lisa. Knowledgeable about the arts, truly one of the best tours I've been on - thank you Blerta.
