Editor's take
Dayin’s private visit lasts 4 hours, with a break and guiding in English or French. Its listed highlights include the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Coronation of Napoleon. You can have the visit adapted to your interests, useful if you want more detailed art history.
Gallery closures or loans can change the route, even on this longer private visit. The lower Thursday price belongs to a separate English tour lasting 2 hours and starting at 15:00. For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before your booked departure.
