Not really into art… - Like the title says…I am not really an art person so imagine my surprise being fascinated and captivated by every word and story shared by our tour guide Paloma! She brought each art piece to life and made the experience of what we were seeing and why it was important accessible. It felt like we were getting a deeper appreciation for the masterpieces that we were able to take in as we were expertly guided through the crowds. I highly recommend Paloma and am so grateful she was our guide! Amazing experience!

Small group tour of the Louvre. - Anatole was our guide and provided us with an excellent introduction to the Louvre. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and cheerful. He also gave us guidance when our tour ended about seeing other areas of the Louvre on our own. Great experience.

Great tour. Thanks Veronica. - Great tour. Wouldn’t do the louvre any other way. Veronica was a wealth of knowledge and showed us all the best pieces. The small group made the tour much more efficient and enjoyable as well.

Worth it! - Thibaut was incredible. Perfect mixture of history and art. He catered what we say to the group’s requests. Very informative. Would definitely recommend! Especially for anyone interested in seeing a piece of the Louvre (it’s impossible to see it all in one visit) and concerned about not knowing where to start.

The best tour of the Louvre…ask for Veronica! - Veronica C! If you are fortunate enough to have Veronica as your guide to the most famous museum on the planet…then count yourself fortunate. A true Art Historian and consummate professional. Her knowledge is only surpassed by her ability to communicate in an affable and sincere manner. Would recommend 100%.

Lili = BEST louvre tour guide !! - Lili was a terrific guide! Not only was she knowledgeable about the art, but passionate about each piece she showed us on the tour. The massive size and quantity of people at the Louvre can be overwhelming but Lili just kept us moving along and showed us the “must sees.” Also, she had the coolest nuggets of info about each piece. We can’t say enough good things about Lili and the experience she provided during our Louvre tour!
