Overview
With our Louvre and Orsay Combo tour, one of our certified guides will lead you through two of Paris’s most iconic museums. Embark on a journey that spans centuries, from Ancient Greece to the colorful world of 19th-century Impressionism. On this 5.5 hour private tour you’ll start your day with a deep dive into the Louvre Museum. From the incredible artistry of Ancient Greek sculptures to the drama of 19th-century masters like Delacroix, you’ll uncover the stories behind some of the world’s most famous works. Discover why the Mona Lisa truly deserves her fame, how the Venus de Milo lost her arms, and what connects the Winged Victory of Samothrace to a modern sneaker brand. After a break for lunch, cross the Seine to the Musée d’Orsay, where you’ll explore the vibrant and revolutionary world of Impressionism. Spend time with masterpieces by Ingres, Monet, and Degas. Admire Manet’s scandalous paintings: Olympia and Luncheon on the Grass. Marvel at Renoir’s quintessentially Impressionist “Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette”, and be moved by Van Gogh’s Starry Night over the Rhone. By the end of the tour, you’ll see why Paris is celebrated as the art capital of the world.
