The Louvre is a must-see in Paris, not just for its incredible art but for the history held within its walls.
Before it became a museum in 1793, the Louvre had long been one of the principle palaces of the Kings of France. Located right in the heart of Paris, the museum's collections are split into eight different departments: Egyptian antiquities, Greek, Etruscan & Roman antiquities, Near Eastern antiquities, Islamic art, Paintings, Sculptures, Decorative Arts, and Prints & Drawings. In our 3 hours private tour you will be showed some of the museum's most famous works and tell you about the stories that lie behind them.

You will see famous French works like Gericault’s ‘Raft of Medusa’, which depicts the true story of shipwrecked sailors driven to cannibalism and Delacroix’s famous painting depicting the French struggle for freedom, Liberty Leading the People.
