Guidekin's take

Reserved Louvre entry with a guide who takes you straight to the Mona Lisa and tells its story properly, then an audio app for exploring the rest at will.

The efficient compromise between a full tour and going in blind.

In our comparison: #47 of 62 in Louvre Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
