- Louvre Museum - As one of the world’s most renowned paintings, the Mona Lisa seldom enjoys a moment of solitude. During peak hours, she’s surrounded by throngs of visitors, which significantly diminishes the quality of your encounter with her. To circumvent the masses, we offer an exclusive opportunity to admire her once the majority of the crowd has dispersed, ensuring you have the space to appreciate her allure.
Our meticulously crafted itinerary, honed through extensive research excursions, reverses the typical Louvre path. This approach allows you to witness far more than the standard tours, which attempt to squeeze the rest of the museum into a mere 90 minutes.
Throughout the tour, your guide will introduce you to the Louvre’s most prized exhibits, including the ancient moat foundations of the royal palace, classical Greek and Roman statues such as the ‘Venus de Milo’, ‘Cupid & Psyche’, and Michelangelo’s ‘Slaves’; as well as seminal works by French painters like ‘Liberty Leading the People’ by Delacroix and ‘The Raft of Medusa’ by Géricault. Additionally, you’ll encounter the former French regalia, the internationally acclaimed ‘Winged Victory’ sculpture, and masterpieces from Italian maestros like Caravaggio, Raphael, and da Vinci.
While there are numerous ways to explore the Louvre, our unique tour not only presents the finest pieces but also grants you an intimate viewing of the Mona Lisa away from the bustling crowds. Your guide manages all the scheduling and logistics, leaving you free to immerse yourself in the masterpieces.
