Liberty Leading the People by Eugène Delacroix, Louvre Museum

The Louvre is the largest and most visited museum in the world — and, without a guide, one of the most bewildering. Endless corridors, crowded rooms, 35,000 works on display: most visitors leave with a blurry photo of the Mona Lisa and the feeling of having missed the essential.

With your own licensed guide, it becomes a different visit. In two hours, your guide takes you straight to the masterpieces on a planned itinerary — the Mona Lisa, the Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, Liberty Leading the People, the Coronation of Napoleon, Michelangelo’s Slaves — and tells you what makes each one extraordinary.
