The tour was very professional. Bernadette was a knowledgeable tour guide whose extensive experience was obvious. She had a wealth of knowledge and answered every question with genuine interest and joy. She also expressed her fun, delight, and amazement at the artists' work. She enthusiastically showed us the highlights and gave us tips for the rest of our time in the Louvre. All in all, a super tour!!!

We were only 4 people. The guide was great. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to take everything in. We didn't miss out on the highlights of the Louvre (actually, all the art is a highlight in itself). It is definitely worth a visit! If you are German and don't understand or speak English or French, you should definitely book the tour in German. N. Dambor

The guided tour and the guide's commentary—on my own, I wouldn't have known where to go. The guide was pleasant and gave us plenty of details about the history of the artworks. Vladimir is very professional, and his commentary is insightful and informative.

The tour was a trip highlight. It made the massive Louvre very "doable." Nicolas was the perfect guide: very knowledgeable and personable. He clearly cares about art and his passion was inspirational. I could have spent the whole day with him as he had so much knowledge to share. Our group had 6 people; I appreciated the clear instructions on where to meet. It was truly wonderful from start to finish. Thank you!
