Wonderful, memorable tour - Pierre was an awesome guide! Approachable, funny, knowledgeable and took great care of our group of 6. This is the perfect Louvre tour - it gives an overview of the history and layout of the Louvre itself and you see the “must sees”that would be difficult to navigate and find on your own. Entry is quick and efficient and after the tour finishes you can continue to wander around on your own.

Best way to see the Louvre - While this tour helps you hit the highlights at the Louvre, it also helps you understand the history of the place. I especially appreciated that because I did not know much of the start of the palace. Our guide did such a great job explaining everything and giving us time to absorb our surroundings.

Excellent semiprivate guided Louvre tour - Excellent guided tour of the Louvre today. Iasson was friendly and very knowledgeable as he shared his expertise on the long and interesting history of the Louvre as a fortress, palace, and museum. He kept our group engaged during our journey through Egyptian history before bringing us to the more well known works of art at the museum. All in all a very worthwhile experience.

She explained important works and made sure to stay away from crowds as best as possible She was kind enough to position us to take a picture of us in front of Mona Lisa! Excellent! You would be fortunate to have her as a guide!!
