Itinerary

Marvel at relics from Ancient Egypt to the art of the Italian Renaissance on a guided tour of the Louvre Museum. The entire collection would take months to see in full, but you will follow a carefully planned route to discover the highlights. Gaze at da Vinci’s enigmatic Mona Lisa and see Anthony Canova’s emotional Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss. Hear the true story depicted in Gericault’s Raft of Medusa. Go to Napoleon’s former apartments to admire the most beautiful décor of the palace, as well as a collection of crown jewels. The masterpieces continue with the Venus de Milo, the sculpture that inspired so many artists. Head to the basement of the Louvre Palace to see the foundations of the castle that once stood on the site.

Une visite merveilleuse! Fabio a été le guide parfait pour un parcours du Louvre des incontournables. Malgré le monde nous avons été guidé de sculptures en peintures sans heurts. Tout a été fluide et (Read More)clair avec du temps pour prendre la mesure des œuvres, avoir quelques anecdotes et poser des questions. Nous étions accompagné de jeunes adultes qui ont été bluffés. Merci pour cette très bonne expérience de parisiens jouant les touristes à Paris.

The museum is impressive. The guide set priorities. He gave us interesting details in 2 hours. He slowly introduced us to the most famous painting. We would book this tour again in a heartbeat.

The guide was quiet nice, but the microphone and the headset did‘nt work all the time. She explains things quit well in good german. But there were only two departments we can go through. So the price (Read More) was definitly to high for this quiet short time.
