Overview of your Paris tour:

As an artist trained in the techniques of the old masters (including 3 years as copy artist in the Louvre) I have in-depth knowledge of the methods used to create the masterpieces that await you in this most fabulous of museums. But the Louvre also tells a great story… every piece on show has been carefully curated to unveil the evolution of Western civilisation through art. We will follow its trail from the beginning with Classical Antiquity, then continue through the Italian renaissance, understand a little why Mona Lisa casts such a spell, then discover how France became world leader in art. Yes, we will see the famous highlights, but also I will share with you new ways of looking at art. Take away lasting knowledge with your memories! PLEASE NOTE THAT ENTRANCE TICKETS ARE NOT INCLUDED. Apologies, it has become just too difficult for independent guides to purchase them on behalf of visitors. I advise checking ticket availability first before booking a tour at short notice.

Your Paris tour itinerary

I provide top quality audio phones for the best experience and to assure social distancing. No straining to hear me even in noisy conditions. Meeting me inside the museum to maximise tour time, we will start with a brief overview of the history of this magical palace then on to the splendid Greek and Roman collection, including Venus de Milo and Winged Victory of Samothrace. - Then, continue through the most famous wing of the museum with works by Botticelli, Raphael, Da Vinci, Delacroix and many more. - Our star, Mona Lisa, is also on our path in the colourful company of the great artists of the Venetian Renaissance. She's not just a tourist trap, let me tell you why she is so special with true insider insights. Of course the itinerary is flexible according to your particular interests, just let me know
