About this activity

Explore two of Paris's most iconic museums in a single day with a private certified guide who provides skip-the-line access and insider stories. This 6-hour+ experience covers Renaissance masterpieces at the Louvre (including the Mona Lisa) and Impressionist treasures at the Musée d'Orsay, with a lunch break between venues.

Discover two of the most beautiful museums in the world accompanied by a certified museum guide and get ready for an unforgettable journey through the history of art! After meeting your guide (either at your hotel or directly at the Louvre Museum depending on your selection), you'll begin by discovering the Carrousel du Louvre and admiring the architecture of the former-palace-turned-museum. Once inside with skip-the-line tickets, you'll take two hours to discover famous works from artists such as Rembrandt, David, Delacroix, and of course, da Vinci and his famous Mona Lisa.

After a lunch break, you'll meet back up with your guide in front of the Orsay Museum, a building that was once a train station and was converted into a beautiful museum. The Orsay Museum features hundreds of works from the 18th century, including Impressionism art featuring Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Rodin, and more. Your guide will share with you fascinating stories about the artists and their most famous paintings.
