Our "Big Picture" tours survey the grand sweep of the Louvre's collection. These tours are ideal for first-time visitors, families, or old hands who want to reintroduce themselves to the breadth of the museum's offerings.
(Have you already visited the Louvre, or would you prefer a deep exploration of a specific theme in the museum's collection? Find out about our Closer Look tours of the Louvre.)
Don't be overwhelmed by the extraordinary vastness of the Louvre's treasures, or the length of its lines! Go with a specialist who will help make your experience more memorable (and more civilized).
Open every day except Tuesdays, 9am to 6pm. Open late night on Wednesdays and Fridays until 9:45pm.
Métro: Palais Royal/Musée du Louvre (1/7)
"Inge is a fantastic tour guide who showed us the history, architecture, and symbolism of Notre Dame and the Cluny in ways that we did not know were possible. She is an intelligent, thoughtful, unbelievably knowledgeable, articulate guide. Her ability to explain vast quantities of information, yet to pause periodically so that we could absorb what she had just told us, was amazing. She knew the answers to our dozens of questions. She is a complete delight. We could not have been more fortunate than to have arranged a tour with Paris Muse and to have been assigned to Inge".
