Description
The Louvre is the most visited art museum in the world, but with skip-the-line access on this Louvre Masterpieces and Royal Palace Tour, beat the long queues and begin your fascinating journey immediately. With 35,000 pieces on display (and a further 380,000 in the basements), exploring everything in the Louvre is an impossible task. However, your passionate guide will take you to see the most important works of art, as well as some hidden gems, on a carefully planned route.
On this 3-hour tour your expert, English-speaking guide will captivate you with the history, interpretations and techniques used to create some of the most iconic masterpieces on display. Learn about perhaps the most famous portrait of all time: Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, as well as other lesser-known, but equally fascinating works.
Before Louis XIV moved the court to Versailles, the Louvre was actually the Royal Palace. Finish the tour in the Napoleon Apartments and be transported back in time and discover what the lavish interior was like in the 1800s.
