Great experience! - Our tour guide lasson T was wonderful! He was knowledgeable about history and art and covered a lot of things in the time we spent. We never felt rushed and really enjoyed the experience. He also recommended some nice spots to eat afterwards!

Way to compress 1000+ years and facts into a 2.5 hour tour, with excitement and suspense - Veronica C was our guide for the 2.5 hour tour of the most famous and meaningful sights of the Louvre We had an amazing experience- she packed so many facts and stories into the tour and the time flew by. We managed the crowds very effectively and had a very good understanding of what we were looking at and how to connect it to history and its people of the time. We can’t imagine visiting the Louvre without an experienced and efficient guide. The tour was very well organized, on time and simply the best way to see the largest museum of the world in a manageable bite size

Big views no lines - Daniel did a wonderful job keeping us informed and out of the big traffic. Of course there were crowds at major pieces but the rest of the tour was like we were in a much smaller place.

What an Amazing Tour of the Louvre with Miriam - Miriam was an absolutely amazing guide! Her knowledge of the museum and individual artists and works of art were boundless. This is the first guided tour we’ve taken, and it absolutely won’t be the last. Outstanding!

Ask for Julien H, you won’t be disappointed - This was my first visit to the Louvre and I was blessed by having such a caring guide as Juilen. He made sure to show us all the best pieces and explain all their history and importance. He also kept us together and ensured that we got to look closely at many of the attractions with crowds around them. If you get the choice definitely ask for him.

Worthwhile semi private tour to see the Lourve - Excellent guided tour with a small mixed group of 6. We are a family of 3 with a teenager joined by another family. Our guide Dina was professional, knowledgeable, polite, and guided us with a good sense of humor. Definitely worth the time and money to do this small group tour. Our guide focused on the main attractions (“the stars” - Venus Di Milo, Mona Lisa, Nike, other davinci works, etc) but also gave us recommendations worth seeing on our own after the alloted time.

Pierre was the best! - It was my first time in Paris, and because I had limited time, this tour was perfect. Pierre was our guide for the highlight 2.5 hr tour and we enjoyed his commentary very much. He was knowledgeable and engaging. I highly recommend Babylon tours and Pierre, especially.
