About this tour
The Louvre is the world’s most visited museum, and its collection is far too big to see in one go. This guided tour cuts it down to the masterpieces, with a route planned so you spend your time looking at art rather than reading maps.
Before it was a museum, the Louvre was a fortress and then a royal palace. Your guide connects the building’s history with the works inside, from ancient Greek sculpture to the Italian Renaissance and the great French paintings of the 19th century.
