Itinerary

About this tour, from the operator

With our Reserved Access you go straight inside the Louvre for a look at its fascinating collection. Your 3-hour tour offers time to appreciate some of the museum's most iconic paintings, sculptures, and architecture.

Join your guide on a journey from one breathtaking gallery to the next, jumping through history while admiring works dating from nearly 450 BCE through the 19th-century. Small group sizes of no more than 12 people also mean that your expert, English-speaking guide can adapt tours to suit each individual group.
