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!

The perfect introduction to world's most famous gallery. In a group of just 6 people is perfect and worth the extra spend as you can ask questions and feel personally connected to the experience. Our guide was knowledgable and fun to explore with. As a group tour, you have a separate entrance and while the queue for main security was over 2 hours long, we spent no time queing anywhere. Will absolutely reccomend to friends and family.

Our guide Maryam was wonderful. Super knowledgeable and her tour was the right level of depth. She took us around the Louvre in 2.5 hours. Showed us the masterpieces and explained everything with knowledge and humor. She also gave us a sense of where we might want to spend more time taking a deeper dive on our own. Thank you Maryam!

Our guide, Liz, was great! She knew her history, was entertaining, funny, and helpful! I'm glad I booked this tour, because the Louvre is so big—I would never have found my way around on my own. This way, I got to see lots of important works of art and learn some background information about them. AWESOME!

We really enjoyed our tour with Vanina! She was informative, friendly and helped navigate us through the museum (which is no small feat!) to see the highlights. So glad we did this tour instead of trying to do it on our own!
