About This Tour

A private tour for your group only — the real Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and the Louvre's genuine essential collection, led by a private guide. This is a private tour for your group only. Real highlights include the genuine Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, and the Louvre's essential masterpieces, with skip-the-line entry.

The Louvre began life as a defensive fortress in 1190, built under King Philip II to guard the western edge of Paris, and it spent the next six centuries evolving into a royal palace before Revolutionary France opened it to the public on 10 August 1793 with an exhibition of 537 paintings, mostly seized royal and church property. Today it holds roughly 460,000 works in total, with about 35,000 on permanent display across the former palace's galleries — making it the largest art museum in the world by gallery space, and a genuinely vast place to navigate without a guide who knows exactly where to go.

Among those 35,000 works is the single most famous painting on earth: Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, painted in the early 1500s and now protected behind glass in its own gallery. Part of her fame traces directly back to 21 August 1911, when an Italian handyman named Vincenzo Peruggia, who had briefly worked at the museum, lifted the small panel off the wall and walked out with it hidden under his coat — the first theft of a painting from a museum in recorded history. The painting resurfaced more than two years later in Florence, and Peruggia served only six months in prison.

Your guide also brings you to the Venus de Milo, an ancient Greek marble discovered by a farmer on the island of Milos in 1820 and dated by most scholars to the Hellenistic period, roughly the 2nd century BC. Between the theft story, the ancient sculpture, and the sheer scale of the collection, an essentials tour with someone who already knows the floor plan turns a potentially overwhelming visit into a focused one.
