This appears several times in a press kit describing educational activities to be offered by a new museum in France. The 'visites croisées' are led by one or more guides and so appear to be guided tours of some kind. The document itself does not give much context, but looking on the web has turned up quite a few examples. E.g. http://www.pba-lille.fr/spip.php?article2691.
I have an idea that it is some sort of combined guided tour, but I don't know if there is a specific way of saying this in English. Does anyone know?

Combined visit
At the link you provided to the Palais des Beaux Arts de Lille, "visite croisée" seems to be used to describe a visit to several venues on one outing (i.e., to the museum and to the Théâtre du Nord).
If that is what is meant in your document, then I think "combined visit" would work well.
For example, see:
http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/education/combined_visits.ph...
http://www.elymuseum.org.uk/education/
"Combined visits with Ely Cathedral, Stained Glass Museum and Oliver Cromwel's House."
http://www.cchsny.org/ed_programs.html
"-$3 per student, but contact CCHS for information on combined visits to other CCHS sites."

Multiple-visit (program)
Obviously, using the literal tranlsation would sound a bit odd in English. Maybe this could work.
Example sentence:
"The Smart Museum’s sequential, multiple-visit programs—Art in Focus for third graders and Smart Explorers for fifth graders—are the cornerstones of our educational initiatives."
