The Louvre Museum is the largest Museum in the world, a guide is more then advised for your visit . I'm an Official Private guide in France and pleased to guide people from all over the world since 8 years. The Louvre Museum is one of my favorite places to guide in because the building itself is a museum by its architecture, its history, and thousands rooms hiding not only the most famous masterpieces in the world, but also secrets of people who in the 800 years of history of this place made it deeply rich. The Louvre is a very special Museum, and you will feel it, through every step you will do in this building, the blowing decor and its history. Please note that some weekends and days when I’m not available I can propose you to be guided by a member of my team.

Bonjour, I will be happy to be your guide for this tour. We will start our private tour from your Hotel if you ask me to pick you ap there. During this private tour i propose you to discover the largest museum in the world and the most visited museum in France. I will be able to make you travel in time during this tour because the Louvre crossed 800 years to our days. My tour permits you to enjoy the most beautiful masterpieces of the Museum in its different départements but also learn a lot about the building itself. You will smile to the famous Mona Lisa, meet Venus de Milos( you can't shake her hand :) sorry), see the Winged Victory of Samothrace, assist at Napoleon's coronation, and even participate at the "Three Glorious " Revolution with Delacroix. But also you will dance in the most beautiful Ball Rooms of the Palace, see secret doors, and step on historical staircases. And this rich travel in time ends with a splendid reception in Napoleon the III Apartments(if opened).

Wonderful experience. If its you first time to the Louvre it can be an overwhelming experience. Lulianna will get you to the highlights but also give you the history of the Louvre and why each painting or sculpture is so special. She knows her facts. Also if its your first time in Paris she will help you figure out the public transportation system.
An amazing highlight tour of the Louvre. Expert knowledge and the navigation of the crowds was worth the cost
Wonderful, interesting, fluent and immersive tour. See the glorious history and design of this amazing museum. Of course the diverse art is awe inspiring. The guide was great. Three hours if energetic walking, chock full of information. The guide was kind, considerate and very knowledgeable. She is also resourceful and able to overcome challenges of big crowds, systemic changes and unreliable technology.
It is an overwhelming museum, certainly a tour just touches the surface but the way Iliana took us through a historical overview was amazing. She touched on all the history and highlights. The lines were incredible if you were just buying tickets on your own. It was cold and she was right on time and got us in very quickly. There is so much more than the Mona Lisa. It really was fantastic!!!!!
Dear Elizabeth, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It truly means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the tour. You’re absolutely right—the museum can feel overwhelming, and I’m so glad I could help make it more approachable by guiding you through its history and highlights. It was a pleasure sharing not just the famous works like the Mona Lisa, but also the many other treasures that make the experience so special. I’m also really happy everything went smoothly despite the crowds and the cold—timing and comfort can make such a difference! Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. It was a joy to have you on the tour, and I hope to welcome you again someday for even more discoveries! Kindly, Iuliana
I wish I would have done this for more of our tours that we've taken through Paris. The price is certainly a lot more, but what we got for that was a true in-depth experience of the different artworks. The history of the actual Louvre. Juliana was second to none! I highly recommend her compared to the tour that we had at Versailles. This was just outstanding
Thank you so much for your kind words! It truly means a lot to hear that your experience at the Louvre was such a highlight. I'm so glad I could help bring the art and history to life for you. The Louvre has so many layers to explore, and it was a real pleasure to share some of them with you. I’d be honored to welcome you back anytime for more unforgettable moments in this beautiful city. Merci encore! Warm regards, Juliana
Iuliana was very knowledgeable, organized and friendly. My wife and I learned and experienced much more of the Louvre than we would have on our own or with a group tour. This was an excellent experience that maximized our short time in Paris. Iuliana was the best of many guides on our trip.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! It was a real pleasure guiding you through the Louvre and helping you make the most of your time in Paris. I'm thrilled to hear that the experience stood out during your trip and that you both enjoyed it so much. Wishing you many more amazing travels ahead — and I’d love to welcome you back anytime! Warmly, Iuliana
Our tour guide, Uliana, was one of the best private tour guides we have ever had. She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the most important artwork and its historical context. In three hours she showed us the best of the Louvre. We give her our highest recommendation....take this tour!
Dear Ann Thank you so much for your wonderful words! It was truly a pleasure to guide you through the Louvre and share some of its most fascinating stories and masterpieces. I'm so glad you enjoyed the experience and that it left a lasting impression. Your kind recommendation means the world to me—merci beaucoup! Wishing you many more inspiring travels and discoveries! Warm regards, Iuliana
Wow!!!!! We were so lucky to have Ivan as our Tour Guide for our visit to the Louvre. I was nervous about bringing my 13 year old daughter to the museum as she is not a lover of museums. But Ivan was so engaging, funny and interesting that there was not an eye roll in sight! Our entire experience from start to finish was absolute perfection, we are so grateful to Ivan for making our museum day so magical! This is a must if you are coming to Paris and we were able to see all the “greatest hits” at the Louvre with ease and efficiency, thank you Ivan!
Wow—thank you so much for this heartwarming feedback, I am thrilled to hear that Ivan made your visit to the Louvre such a fun and memorable experience, especially for your daughter. He has a true gift for bringing art to life in an engaging and approachable way, and it means so much to know that it resonated with both of you. We’re so grateful for your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Paris for more discoveries soon! Warm wishes, Iuliana
Great tour! Our guide was super knowledgable about the history behind the paintings we saw, albeit slightly to the detriment of the tour itself, in that the first hour or so felt more like a history lesson than a museum tour. On the other hand, through his in-depth knowledge of the artwork, I saw things that I would have never seen on my own.
Dear Richard, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! I am truly glad to hear that you appreciated the depth of insight and the new perspectives offered during your visit. I understand that finding the right balance between storytelling and exploration is important, and your feedback is very helpful in that regard. I am always striving to improve, and I am happy the tour still left you with discoveries you might not have made on your own. I hope to welcome you again for another enriching experience in Paris! Warm regards, Iuliana
Julianna Pinter was simply amazing. She guided us through the Louvre with expertise and passion. Well worth the money!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and felt it was worthwhile. It was a real pleasure guiding you through the Louvre and sharing my passion for its incredible masterpieces. I hope the memories you made will stay with you for a long time—merci encore! Warmly, Iulianna
