With first access into the Louvre and a small-group of max 6 people, head straight for Leonardo Da Vinci's infamous Mona Lisa before the rush of tourists. You won't have to compete for space as you will be among the only ones there! Experience this masterpiece in an intimate and peaceful way, as your guide provides you with stories and anecdotes of her past. The small semi-private group allows you more freedom to get closer to sites and interact with your guide on a more personal level. Then, your guide will escort you back through the labyrinth of the Louvre to visit the many highlights you missed on your way to the Mona Lisa. The Louvre is a large and intimidating museum, and seeing it alone can feel like a daunting task - but your expert guide will escort you through to the many 'must sees' so you can be sure you've made use of your time and make sense of this vast museum. After your tour, feel free to stay inside the Louvre to explore more at your leisure.

Our guide Meng was punctual. She was extremely knowledgeable. We were amongst the first few to see the Mona Lisa. We had a wonderful time. Highly recommend.

My family booked this tour for our first time visit to the Louvre and we did not regret it. You meet with the tour guide before the Louvre opens to ensure you are at the front of the line to get into the museum (there is no special early entry time included).
Before the museum opened our guide Ana spoke to us about the history of the Louvre and the architecture. She also went over the entrance procedures and security so we could get in as fast as possible.
The doors opened and we got through security as fast as possible and then Ana led us on a run through the halls of the Louvre to get to the Mona Lisa. My children were very amused by our quick run through the museum past so many other beautiful pieces, but Ana kept encouraging us to keep up the pace and in the end it was worth it.
We were the first to enter the room with the Mona Lisa and we were able to enjoy it and get some great photos.
But our adventure didn't end there, Ana continued to guide us through the top highlights of the Louvre always seeming to stay one step ahead of the crowds that were coming in. The hour and thirty minutes flew by, but we accomplished so much in that time period.
After Ana left, we stayed in the Louvre and wandered around at our own pace. Walking by the Mona Lisa and other things we had seen earlier with no crowds and seeing how packed they were made us appreciate Ana and her expertise even more.
