Skip-the-Line Louvre Museum Tour

Make the most of your time at the world's largest museum with our Skip the Line Louvre Tour. While everyone outside waits in the hours-long line, we will go straight to security and make our way inside.

Alongside your expert guide, you will navigate the grand hallways of the Louvre with ease, learning not only about the magnificent pieces of art, but the history of the palace itself. You'll understand that as a royal palace, the Louvre used to be the sprawling home to the first family of France. You'll explore the key pieces of the Louvre including works by Michelangelo, Canova, Géricault and much more. Of course we will visit da Vinci's 'Mona Lisa' and learn the fascinating history behind this famous painting. 

This tour provides you with the ultimate highlights of the Louvre for those who don't want to waste your time standing in a line or navigating through a museum that can be intimidating and potentially overwhelming on your own. Led by an expert, English-speaking guide, you'll see the highlights of this famed museum and hear entertaining stories behind the artists and their works, bringing the paintings and sculptures to life.

Skip the Line Louvre Tour

Skip the Line Louvre Tour   is rated 4.7 out of 5 by 238.
Rated 5 out of 5 by from front row views and tons of info this was great! the daunting task of figuring a way through the massive Louvre was managed by Josephine who walked us right up to selected works and gave us the back story. And funny! The 2hrs flew by, I really feel I got a very tasty nibble of the museum and am thinking about coming back for more. Likely with a guide again - just such a smart way to not only see but also learn about the art in the museum. Brilliant tour!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Why would you WANT to wait in that line?! Skipping the line is the only way to go to the Louvre! Everything from start to finish was great with this tour, easy meeting point...easy entry...but super awesome guide made it the best! We saw all the highlights, learned so much about pieces that I had not heard before, the guide's humor and knowledge were fabulous. Definitely worth it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing experience We were super sceptical on going on a tour in Paris. Let me tell you this tour was super easy to book and fat tire actually helped me to change the date about 24 hours before my scheduled tour. The meeting location is straight forward and the tour was amazing. Our tour guide was Adam he was from Canada and he provided a very memorable tour. He took us to the main exhibits knew his history and was so funny. Great experience and I would recommend this to anyone going to the Louvre. This place is so big I would have got lost in the crowds if it wasn’t for this tour.
