What Makes This Tour Different
What You'll See
- Mona Lisa — Leonardo da Vinci's enigmatic portrait, displayed in the Denon Wing's Salle des États
- Venus de Milo — Ancient Greek sculpture of Aphrodite, housed in the Sully Wing's Greek Antiquities section
- Liberty Leading the People — Delacroix's iconic French Revolution painting, featured in the "French Touch" themed tour

- Italian Renaissance masterpieces — Works featured in the "Dolce Vita" themed itinerary focusing on Italian art. The themed approach allows visitors to explore the Louvre's 35,000 displayed works through focused cultural and historical narratives rather than a single chronological route.
The Itinerary
Choose from 7 themed audio tours based on your interests: "The Unmissables" covers major highlights, "The French Touch" focuses on French masters, "Dolce Vita" explores Italian Renaissance works, and "Egyptian Magic" delves into ancient artifacts.

The audio guide adapts to your pace, allowing extended viewing time at preferred masterpieces.

LouvreTourGuide Editorial Review
“Skip-the-line tickets paired with an immersive audioguide unlock the Louvre's masterpieces independently. The audioguide provides exclusive commentary not available through the museum's standard audio offerings. Without a specified duration, visitors may find it challenging to gauge how much time to allocate for their self-guided exploration. Smart choice for: Independent travelers who prefer exploring at their own pace while still receiving expert commentary on the collection's highlights.”
