We did many Viator tours over our travels and this one was one of our favorites. Our guide was fantastic. We asked for a general overview for our 2 hours and we learned a lot but it was also not overload. Great experience.
Hamish was so knowledgeable about everything! The art, the building, French culture! He made the museum come alive! This was definitely a highlight of our week in Paris!
Monty taught us many things that we had no idea. He is friendly professional attentive and a great narrator. We really enjoyed our tour with Monty. Highly recommend 👌
Monty was amazing. So knowledgeable. Thank you for guiding us through the labyrinth that is the Louvre, for proving us with such an informed tour, and for giving us so many memories we will be able to look back on after we return home.
John was an excellent guide and really made our tour insightful, tailored to our interests. We had a great time!
The “Dayin” Tour company provided a seamless sign up and offered a 6:30-9p tour of a 3/4 empty Louvre which is normally packed with people. John our guide gave us ( my 13 year son and I) so much history and knowledge in 2.5 hours - the time flew by - so sad to see it end. John was literally a 6 out of 5 stars, best tour guide i think I’ve ever had. And he really was able to curate the tour to my don who is in the middle of studying history and classical art.
Hamish was a great tour guide for the Louvre. He was very knowledgeable about the historical impact of the art pieces. The two hour tour was perfect for us.
Monty was an excellent tour guide and he advocated extremely well for access for my dad that had a walker. He was very knowledgeable, helpful locating elevators - going above and beyond - an excellent guide! I would highly recommend, Monty as a guide to anyone to take his tour and they will be delighted as he is very emphatic especially with people with reduce mobility & wheelchair (which we highly appreciated) 👏 After mona Lisa and few othe famous artworks in the Denon wing, Monty also helped us getting to Napoleans Apartment as there is no direct connection from denon to other side due to stairs and restoration works.
We did a two hour private tour and provided a list of art pieces we wanted to see in advance so our tour guide could plan out our tour. Not only did we cover all of those highlights but we also learned about some of the other impressive or interesting pieces that were on the way. Our guide was well versed on what we were seeing and was able to answer all of our questions. This was a fantastic way to see the highlights of the museum without having to spend hours walking around.
Amazing. In my opinion, this is the only way to see the Louvre. My wife and I spent several days in Paris earlier this week and this tour was the highlight of the trip. Being a private tour, it was more expensive than some others, but it is absolutely worth it. This confirms that you get what you pay for. Our tour guide, Alex, was incredible. His knowledge of all aspects of art and history is astonishing. His friendly and kind personality made it even better. Dayin Paris contacted me before the tour to see if there was anything in particular we wanted to see. Since it would take days to see everything in the Louvre we told them we wanted to focus on the biggest attractions. Alex was great and made sure we saw the highlights but also took the time to show us the small things that many people would not know to look for. I can’t stress this enough—go see Alex!
