This was the first time at the Louvre in Paris. Our guide, Ivan, was terrific. His love of all things French, archeology, and especially his love for the Louvre was amazing. The insight he gave us regarding paintings, stories behind the art objects was outstanding. We were sorry our tour was only 2 hours, but that was because of our timeline. I am sure he would have spent more time with us. A wonderful experience and if we get a chance to return, we will ask for him again. C

Don't attempt this museum on your own. Our guide was an amazing art historian that pointed out relevant art while providing the story behind each piece. It really brought everything to life. (Perfect amount of time for a family without being overwhelming.). Her stories behind important art vs famous art was so intreagueing. In addition she told us about the history of the building and how it came to be. Highly Recommend.

Private tour suitable for children and youngsters of all ages. We were at L'Ouvre with our 8-year-old daughter and 78-year-old grandma with tour guide Julian and we really enjoyed it. Julian took great care of us from start to finish and was able to inspire us with his knowledge. We can highly recommend him and the 2.5-hour tour.

Absolutely everything. I have visited the Louvre a few times before, but the first time we decided to take a guide. Rodrigo was incredibly, his knowledge and demenor was so warm and enthusiastic. He made the visit the best ever, really well worth it, thank you so much.

We skipped the lines, which was a plus, but halfway through the tour, security guards escorted us out because our guide forgot some documents. We weren't allowed back in, wasting our money/ Our first visit to the Louvre was a disappointment:(

Our guide was exceptionally enthusiastic, friendly, and highly informative, which we truly appreciated. Her passion and knowledge greatly enriched the tour. However, I encountered a technical issue with the headsets, as they produced a significant amount of background noise throughout the experience. This unfortunately detracted from my ability to fully enjoy and engage with the guide’s commentary. I hope this can be addressed for future tours, as it would greatly enhance the overall experience.
