Pascale was an absolutely amazing tour guide. So knowledgeable and great at explaining the cultural and historical significance of the Louvre and its exhibits.
Maura was an excellent tour guide making the Louvre interesting to all 3 of our kids ranging from 6 years old to 18. We learned so much that we would otherwise not have appreciated there. Totally worth it!!!
Lee was a fantastic guide. Genuinely knowledgeable and passionate about the museum and all art. Loved answering our questions and got to know each one of us. I would book any tour just to have him as a guide!
This was an excellent tour from a fantastic guide. Lee led us expertly through the museum and had interesting behind the scenes stories to share throughout our 2-hour tour. We enjoyed our first time experience immensely!
Isidora S was an amazing and informative tour guide. She kept our group engaged throughout the whole semi private 2.5 hour tour. Her passion for the art work was heard and felt throughout the afternoon. Our group loved the experience and left the Louvre feeling more knowledgeable about key pieces of art in the Louvre and inspired.
Absolutely do a tour. Joe was not just knowledgeable, he knows the Louvre. We saw everything and got an amazing g history lesson too! I wish we had had 3 hours with him. He was definitely the best tour guide we have had on our France trip so far!! Thank you Joe!!
Marcel was an excellent guide, a truly informed, knowledgeable art historian. He was a delight! The Louvre would have been overwhelming without him. I highly recommend the small group. It is very crowded and our small group was able to stay together. Marcel was able to get us up close to major works. 5 stars!!
Very informative and highly knowledgeable guide! Well organized and very good flow.
Thyago C was amazing!!! With a 9 year old we weren’t sure but Thyago was wonderful with keeping a kid engaged as well as offering the information us adults wanted to know. He was very informative and offered ear pieces so we could hear all the information as well as allow us to spend time and move in adequate time. He also willingly took photos throughout the tour of our experience. Can’t recommend Thyago enough!!
We had a private tour of the Louvre with Lee. He was an excellent guide with a vast amount of knowledge. We highly recommend him without hesitation. The tour might seem pricey to some but it allows quick entry, easy navigation, and great insight that would be impossible to obtain on your own as the place is extremely populated and the lines are long. Lee will definitely get you the most for your money and sure you have a great experience. He also does many other tours in the Paris area and is easy going, friendly and a wealth of knowledge. Thank you, Lee!
