About this activity

Explore two of Paris's premier art institutions in a single day with a certified guide who brings masterpieces to life. Skip lengthy queues at the Louvre to see da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Renaissance treasures, then discover Impressionist and post-Impressionist works at the Musée d'Orsay in this fully customisable private experience.

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.

A must for museum lovers! As your tour will be private, it can be tailored to your interests and schedule. Don't hesitate to contact us with questions!

Insider tips

  • ★Wear comfortable shoes—you'll walk approximately 3–4 km across two large museums; plan rest time accordingly
  • ★The Louvre's crowds peak mid-morning; if available, book an early-start time to experience galleries more peacefully
  • ★Bring a small notebook or use your phone to jot down artist names and painting titles—guides share stories quickly and it enriches the experience later
  • ★The lunch break between museums (not included) is ideal for a casual bistro meal near Tuileries or along the Seine rather than museum cafés
