Fabienne was an exceptional tour guide! She skillfully navigated us through the vast museum, guiding us to the perfect viewing spots for various artworks. Her insights into the pieces we thought we already knew were truly enlightening. The tour far exceeded our expectations, and Fabienne’s expertise was the key to its success.
Excellent tour with Avi

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the highlights of the Louvre with Ari. He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor, two things we really appreciated. The tour was the perfect length and Ari’s assistance navigating the massive museum was indispensable. Highly recommend!

Our family toured the Louvre with Sid, and it was wonderful! He was knowledgeable and funny, really bringing the museum to life. He was very patient with us, answering all questions, and made the experience truly enjoyable. He showed a true passion for the artwork he spoke about, which made the tour very engaging. I would love to use him again if we are back in Paris.
Fantastic Tour

Dimitri is fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable and made the experience so much more enjoyable. He was very easy to understand. The pace of the tour was perfect. Highly recommended! The semi private small group and smaller crowds on Thursday evening were a plus!
Would not attempt the Louvre without a guide!

We had an amazing experience at the Louvre. Our guide helped us navigate the crowds and moved us efficiently through the museum. She included the most famous works (Venus de Milo, Athena Nike, and, of course, the Mona Lisa). But, she also showed us works that showed how art changed over the centuries and, in particular, how art reflected the political turmoil in the 18th and 19th centuries. Our family, which includes both a 13 and 11 year old, was engaged throughout the tour. We all agree that it was one of the highlights of our trip to Paris!
Great guide, perfect way to visit the Louvre

Our guide did a wonderful job of navigating the Lourve for us! From the beginning, she was a total pro. She sent us off to relax at a cafe while she negotiated the delay in the museum's opening, and then smoothly guided us through the bewildering entrance lobby and procedures. Once inside, she was able to put the history of the Louvre in context of the history of France, showing us details and exhibits we would have definitely missed on our own. Her knowledge of art history was also superb and greatly enhanced our appreciation of what we saw. Many thanks -- definitely the way to go!
Wonderful tour of the Louvre

Dimitri was a wonderful tour guide. We learned so much on our tour, and he moved us around the Louvre effortlessly. We went on a very busy day, and hardly noticed due to Dimitri’s expertise! Thank you!

Our private tour of the Louvre with Ivana was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. From the moment we met her, it was clear that she possesses an incredible depth of knowledge about the museum, its history, and the artwork within it. She didn’t just show us the famous pieces—she brought them to life with fascinating context, stories, and insights that we would never have discovered on our own. Ivana’s expertise was impressive, but what made the experience exceptional was the way she shared it. She explained things in a way that was engaging, easy to understand, and tailored to our interests. Her professionalism was evident throughout the tour—everything was organized, seamless, and thoughtfully paced so we could truly appreciate what we were seeing without feeling rushed. Beyond her knowledge and professionalism, Ivana’s kindness and warm personality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. She was patient with questions, attentive to our pace, and genuinely passionate about making sure we had a memorable visit. If you are visiting the Louvre, I cannot recommend a private tour with Ivana highly enough. It transformed what could have been an overwhelming museum visit into an unforgettable and enriching experience. It was worth every minute, and we left with a much deeper appreciation for the art, history, and the Louvre itself.

Our guide was great and very knowledgeable. It would have been helpful for her to have a microphone. At times it was difficult to her her with all the people.

You may want to consider a longer tour if you're really interested in the Louvre. We saw so much, but also there was so much more to see. This place is huge.
A worthwhile tour.

We enjoyed our tour of The Louvre. It was an easy admission process and Sid was a knowledgeable guide. The tour was not too lengthy and ended at the Mona Lisa where we could view her and explore on our own from there.

Our tour of the Louvre with Sid was one of the highlights of our trip to Paris. The whole experience, starting with the initial meetup person, was so easy. We arrived via the Metro underground /inside the Carrousel Mall, and the line was pretty unbelievable. After we found our way out of that maze, we were topside and easily found the meeting spot by the pyramid - along with another LONG LINE. Thankfully we were able to bypass the crazy line and make our way into the museum where Sid had our coat locker waiting along with a bathroom break. Sid is the best!! He talked nonstop, but it was all very informative, interesting, and most important - funny. He kept us engaged the whole time and I can't think of a moment I was bored or hoping it would end. I wish we could have stayed longer with his wealth of info with a comedian's touch. If you are visiting the Louvre for the first time, save your sanity and go with Sid. I learned so much and laughed the whole time. Strange combo, but so fun.
Maryam Was Amazing
