Make a booking and jump the queue to make the most of your limited time inside the world’s largest museum. After your guided tour, you can stay on if you want to and continue exploring the Louvre Museum at your leisure.

Your prioritized guided tour of Paris’ Louvre Museum focuses on three world-famous works: the Venus de Milo, the Victory of Samothrace and Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, painted at the beginning of the 16th century.

The Louvre Museum has always been popular but it’s now even more of a drawcard since the phenomenal success of Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code. By booking your place on this tour you can skip the queues and see the famous Mona Lisa without the hassles.

Note that you’ll meet your tour guide at 1 rue d’Alger, around the corner from rue de Rivoli and a short walk from the Tuileries metro. You’ll then walk together to the Louvre Museum from your meeting point.
