Paris Skip-the-Line Louvre Highlights

Skip the lines and dive straight into the highlights of the Louvre on this express tour. Led by an expert licensed guide, your small group—capped at 20 guests, or just six for 9:30 AM tours—will head straight to the museum’s most iconic masterpieces, including the Mona Lisa, The Raft of the Medusa, and more.

Experience the best of the Louvre without feeling overwhelmed on this expertly guided tour through one of the world’s greatest art collections. With thousands of works on display, seeing everything in one visit is impossible—but with a knowledgeable guide, you’ll skip the lines and head straight to the museum’s most iconic treasures, including the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Winged Victory of Samothrace, and more.

Meet your guide at the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel, just across from the Louvre, before entering the Louvre with skip-the-line access. Inside, your guide will lead you on a carefully curated route through the museum’s highlights, from Michelangelo’s Slaves to da Vinci’s world-famous portrait, all while sharing the fascinating stories behind the art and its creators.

Morning tours at 9:30 AM offer a more intimate experience with a maximum of just six guests, allowing for a highly personalised journey through centuries of art and history. If your group has more than six participants, please note that you may be divided due to ticketing limitations set by the museum.

As you move through the grand halls and galleries, your expert guide will bring each masterpiece to life with vivid tales of artists such as Canova, Delacroix, Géricault, and David. With your personal headset, you’ll never miss a detail—not just about the artworks, but also the Louvre itself, once a royal palace steeped in intrigue and splendour, with architecture and interiors as impressive as the collection it houses.
