The Louvre’s five floors normally would make this museum visit daunting, but during your private tour, your guide expertly takes you to the museum’s most famous pieces and lesser-known gems, depending on what you’d like to see. Admire pieces Raphael, Delacroix, and da Vinci, and stare in wonder at the 'Mona Lisa,' 'The Raft of the Medusa,' 'Venus de Milo' and other legendary works.
