On this small-size private tour (maximum 6 guests) we skip the line and get in the museum quickly so we have more time to explore its outstanding collection. Once inside we'll discover together the most famous highlights of the Louvre including Venus de Milo, Victory of Samothrace and the Mona Lisa, but will also marvel at less known masterpieces, which leave you with a deeper understanding of the art in the Louvre. MUSEUM TICKET IS NOT INCLUDED. You will need to get a museum ticket from the museum's official website: www. ticketlouvre. fr Note that kids under 18 (and EU nationals under 25) get in for free. If you are unable to get a ticket from the website for the date of our tour (as sometimes there is only a limited number of tickets available online), don't worry. There are always tickets we can get on the spot in the museum and those are unlimited. There are ticket machines so we can get the tickets in less than 5 minutes once we meet. If you wish to book this tour for a specific date/hour that you don't see here, send me a quick message so I can open a slot for you. Looking forward to exploring the Louvre with you! :)
