Lot's of interesting history
This was a bucket list visit for me. The museum would be overwhelming otherwise. Pierre, our English speaking guide, was so attentive, so knowledgeable, and light and funny too! He made this most enjoyable.
Sunday was fantastic and we will be well pleased if she is your guide! She communicated quite clearly, pre-meet-up and was enthusiastic throughout the tour. Her love of Paris and the arts was evident! She was also very engaged with the tour members, asking to learn a little about each of us and where we were from.
An amazing Louvre tour blending fascinating art history, stories, and masterpieces with Augustina!!!
Manu was an amazing host and Guide.! He was obviously very knowledgeable on the subject material and art in general. He also had a fantastic personality and engaging style of speaking that kept everyone in the group engaged throughout the tour and we never felt like we were being talked at or lectured like so many other guides.
Julien was a wonderful guide He navigated the Louvre with expertise and we were able to see all the important and not so famous ones.
Even though The Louvre is gigantic and one cannot see everything, Sarah showed us some of the most important works. Her knowledge is great and the information that we received was easily understood.
Our guide Dunja was so great and so knowledgeable! I highly recommend this tour especially if you can get Dunja. She gave the highlights of each section of museum and facts we would not have known on our own. Loved being in a small group.
François was a wonderful guide - he showed us snippets of the history from early human civilisations to the 19th century. The time flew by with his entertaining narrative - he brought perspective to all the pieces we viewed and told us some memorable stories. A wonderful tour!
Lili was an amazing tour guide and the small group size was a great experience. Highly recommend!
