Why visit the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay with a guide

The Louvre is the largest art museum in the world, and the Musée d'Orsay holds the most famous collection of Impressionist paintings. Without a plan, it is easy to spend hours in the galleries and still miss the masterpieces you came for.

A licensed guide takes you straight to the works that matter, from the Mona Lisa and the Winged Victory to Monet, Renoir and Van Gogh, and explains why they changed the history of art. Choose a small-group highlights tour of the Louvre, or a private tour of the Musée d'Orsay with admission included.
