Unique tour experience at the end of the day - Amazing, unique tour! Adam was the best tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. He kept our attention with all the fun facts and knowledge he shared with us. We learned a lot about some of the most famous pieces at The Louvre. We were the last tour group to see the Mona Lisa before the museum closed. It was so nice to be there without the large crowds. Adam was amazing! I highly recommend this specific tour and request Adam. You will not be disappointed!

The Louvre with Antoine - Antoine was a great guide through the very packed Louvre. His love of the museum was obvious. He had great insight and took us expertly through the crowds and crowds and crowds to see the highlights! Please know that you will NOT see every room. One would need days and days. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and learned a ton. Antoine, thank you so much!

Ahmed made this evening... - Ahmed made this evening the highlight of my trip. He is so knowledgeable and delivers history with an entertaining wit. This nighttime visit was so much fun and so informative, it will be easy to retain what Ahmed shared with us. My pictures will tell thousands of Ahmed’s words! If you can, see the magic of the Louvre in the evening. Seeing Venus and other sculptures with only the museum lighting is on another level of appreciation.

Ask for Adam and a guide is a must to fully appreciate the artwork on display - This was the perfect length tour to see the Louvre with my daughter who is eight years old.
Adam was amazing and full of facts, funny jokes and examples to help us understand and enjoy the history that we were looking at. I recommend asking for Adam as your guide when booking this tour.
Going to the Louvre without a guide seems crazy with how many artefacts they have on display at any one time.
Thank you Adam for an enjoyable tour and for keeping Ava engaged. She answered lots of questions you had because you made her feel comfortable to ask in front of 13 other adults!

Informative Tour with Laurence - Laurence was a fantastic guide. She provided so much insight into how to look at the art pieces. The listening device helped hear her well and each person was provided a new earbud. We were lucky to have a small group of 6 and had an easy time getting through security. You will be lucky to have Laurence as your guide.
