Early Morning Louvre Tour With Exclusive Access to the Mona Lisa – Beat the Crowds and Experience the Museum at Its Best
Discover the Louvre Museum like never before with our Early Morning Mona Lisa Tour, designed for travelers who want a quieter, richer, and more intimate cultural experience. While most visitors arrive later in the day and face long lines and packed galleries, this special morning program gives you privileged early entry so you can explore the Louvre at its calmest—the ideal moment to enjoy the Mona Lisa up close.
This is more than a museum visit; it’s a rare opportunity to walk through the world’s most famous art collection before the crowds appear, guided by an expert who brings each masterpiece to life.
Why Choose an Early Morning Tour of the Louvre?
Enjoy the Louvre Before It Gets Busy
The Louvre is the most visited museum on the planet. By entering in the early morning, you avoid the overwhelming crowds and instead enjoy a peaceful, atmospheric start to your day. The galleries are quiet, the lights soft, and the artworks even more impressive.
Come Face-to-Face With the Mona Lisa—With Space to Breathe
Most visitors only see Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa from a distance, surrounded by hundreds of people. On this early-access tour, you arrive before peak visitor hours and can take your time in front of the painting. Your guide will share the story behind her mysterious smile, the techniques Leonardo used, and the many secrets and theories surrounding this iconic work.
Expert Guided Experience
Your certified guide leads you through the Louvre’s most important collections, weaving together history, legend, and art. From Egyptian antiquities to Greek sculptures and Renaissance masterpieces, you’ll gain insider insight that transforms the museum into a captivating narrative.

Itinerary
Your tour starts right outside the glass pyramids of the Louvre Museum. Meet your guide and prepare to head inside. Sail past the crowds at the entrance with exclusive fast-track entry.

Explore the museum’s iconic galleries, listening to stories about the works on display from your private guide (small-group options are also available.) You’ll cover blockbuster masterpieces like the Venus de Milo sculpture and the enigmatic Mona Lisa, but also lesser-known artworks that travelers might otherwise miss. Your tickets permit you to continue exploring the museum alone after the tour ends. During your visit, you are guided through the grand hallways and galleries, and discover some of the world famous artworks held within. Marvel at masterpieces such as the Venus de Milo, the Mona Lisa and more, and gain insight into centuries of rich artistic history. At the end of your guided tour, enjoy free time to explore further at your leisure or simply exit the museum. Your ticket permits you to stay in the museum after your visit is finished.
