Overview
The best way to see the Mona Lisa is without the crowds that almost always surround her. Because there is no way to get her all to yourself, we’ve done the next best thing: As the museum starts to close and everyone else rushes for the doors, we take advantage of the natural thinning of crowds. Entering at this time, you’ll find the room almost totally empty so you can get up close to the great lady for a peaceful 20 minute visit with your guide. Of course you’ll see the best of the rest too. You’ll spend 3 hours viewing the very best artwork in the Louvre with an art historian, learning what makes these masterpieces so world-renowned.

Not to be missed
koglaw, Sept 2025
Adam was an amazingly informed and engaging tour guide. We had a quick entry and he got us great access to the top hits , including ending with easy access to Mona Lisa. We learnt so much about a wide range of art, possibly the best tour we have ever taken
Don’t miss this tour while in Paris

This tour is one of the best I’ve ever been on. Had I gone to the Louvre by myself, I would have skipped the Mona Lisa. Adam’s tour put the work in an incredible context. His knowledge extends far and wide in the art world and shared the highlights of the Louvre. Adam is the most engaging tour guide I’ve ever had.

Violette was an amazing tour guide!! She was very knowledgeable and shared many interesting facts with us. I was walking with an ankle injury, but and she was so concerned and accommodating! Loved the tour!!
Team Adam - Best Louvre experience ever
cassien189, Aug 2025
Adam was absolutely phenomenal, fun, knowledgeable, and more. Made our experience 10/10. We moved at a fast enough pace to see an extra room, but a slow enough pace that nothing felt rushed. His insight into the history gave us an entirely new perspective and we appreciated all the specific vantage points he took us too. I wish Adam was our guide on every tour. By the end of our tour, he was not only our tour guide, but our friend. It was super impressive how he remembered all of our names and where we were from that made us feel included. Bravo, Adam!
