Editor's take

Up to 6 people from your party can join Crown's private German tour, which lasts 2 hours. Its listed route includes the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory. You get commentary tailored to your interests, useful for a first visit focused on those works.

Arrive 20 minutes early at the Carrousel arch; the tickets remain with your guide. You cannot collect an individual ticket if you are late. The tour is not wheelchair accessible, and the cheaper shared groups of 6 or 20 are in English.
