Spectacular tour with Nafiseh - WOW! So glad we booked this private tour of the Lourve with Nafiseh. She has a Master’s in art history and really made the tour memorable. As we had a private tour and it was just the 3 of us it was easier to maneuver in and out/around the art in a timely manner. Her knowledge of both history and art made this tour one of the best tours we have taken. The higher price was totally worth the experience. She was also so kind as to walk us to a Metro station to get a pass. We would highly recommend this private tour and Nafiseh as a guide. Merci!

Clara is the best - To look at a piece art and have expert explain what the artists’ intent was wonderful, gave context to the painting, especially the Mona Lisa

Fantastic tour of the Louvre! - This small group tour was perfect for our group of 6 adults. The Louvre is so large that we would have been overwhelmed trying to navigate it by ourselves. The small group was perfect because we didn’t feel lost in a larger group and could ask questions. Our tour guide Nafiseh was amazing! She is so knowledgeable and was able to help us navigate the large crowds at the Louvre to help us see the highlights. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

100% best tour - This is the tour you’re looking for!!! Clara is the BEST! She was informative, animated and made the tour so much fun! I watched all of the other tours around us and was so glad we were not with them. Clara made the museum come to life and never rushed us at any of the exhibits. 10/10 A+++

Great tour - highly recommend it. - This was the perfect tour of the Louvre. We got just enough without being completely overwhelmed by the massive amount of artwork in the Louvre. Also, our guide (and I feel awful for not remembering her name at the moment) was outstanding. She was incredibly knowledgeable, pointed out things that people often overlook, highlighted a lot of the interesting details about artwork that I had no idea about, and talked through the history of everything that we saw and why it was relevant. She was enthusiastic and passionate about what she does, and it came across in our tour.

Book this 10/10 tour! - In theory, one may navigate the Louvre with a detailed plan and audio guides. I, personally, would find that to be a huge task. Especially when there is an excellent guided tour like Boutique Bicycle Tours: Paris Louvre Essentials with Reserved Entry. The charming and enthusiastic guides know all the tricks of navigating this huge space. Example: they know how/where to get a locker to stash coats, jackets, and bags, so you may walk and take pictures more easily and comfortably. It gets quite warm and crowded in there! Also, the guides speak perfect English! The order the tour is presented in, is chronological, tracing the history of the art, the times it was created in, and the building itself. I found the presentation fascinating and the three hours flew by. Clara, my guide, is a gifted story teller and is full of energy and fun facts. Her companion guide Nafi, was a bonus and fun too. I’ll wrap this up by saying: Book this tour! I give it a 10 out of 10 stars. It was my fourth tour with this company. The thing I like best is the attention to detail, and the value for time and money spent. I look forward to my next adventure with Boutique Bicycle Tours. They are simply the best!
