Omar was our guide, he was knowledgeable, friendly, easy to follow and understand. We loved hearing about the behind-the-scenes Louvre stories that you wouldn’t get from reading a placard next to a painting. Omar kept even our teenagers engaged the whole time and he even got us into Napoleon’s apartment that wasn’t originally scheduled on our tour! He was amazing and I highly recommend him.

Andreina made the tour very interesting for our kids. She did not load with too much information and rather focused on the most interesting points. Very knowledgeable and pleasant personality. We highly recommend.
Our tour guide did a fantastic job and we had so much fun. Josef was very well informed, loved art and his job. we learned a tremendous amout about the Louvre Museum
Our guide, Nancy, was super pleasant and had a great sense of humor. She was patient with our many questions and interruptions and an energetic guide, leading us thru many highlights of the museum, but at a pace we could easily manage. Going on the tour that began at 5:00p.m. allowed us to avoid overcrowding in the museum, and we could enjoy seeing many of the exhibits up close and without waiting, as is often necessary at huge internationally loved museums. We enjoyed the entire evening and would definitely book with Babylon again and ask for Nancy!
Daniel was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, had a good sense of humor and was very charismatic!
We really enjoyed all of Veronica's expertise when showing us many different art pieces here at the Louvre. Highly recommend this tour!
We loved our experience at the louvre with Manu our guide. He was very informative and pleasant. Would highly recommend him and this tour
François was an awesome tour guide and we had a wonderful time on the Louvre and Orsay tours with him. We have booked several tours with Babylon tours and their tour guys never disappoint. Thank you so much François!
Lili was an amazing guide bringing many paintings and sculptures to life with informative but interesting stories!!
Paloma gave us an excellent tour of the Louvre. She has an extensive knowledge of the history of the museum and the development of the art and art history. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with her and in the Louvre.
Stanislas was an excellent tour guide. We were so impressed with Stanislas’ knowledge about every area of the Louvre. Would highly recommend.
Hugo is phenomenal. He embodies the spirit and beauty of the Louvre and shares his love and knowledge with you. It is a special experience. And absolutely worth every penny!
Christoph did a fabulous job as our guide. He was knowledgeable and passionate about the art. He answered my granddaughters questions and they were very engaged. A great experience !
Excellent experience with Juan Carlos we give him five stars
Christine was excellent guide, and really made the experience wonderful. Highly recommend.
This tour was very informative and our guide, Agustina was fun and answered all questions we had.
extremely knowledgeable Guide. Like a short course in art history. Highly recommended.
Ivana was amazing! Entertaining, thorough and very educational! Highly recommend the private tour. There was 6 of us and heard everything clearly. So much to see! Will be back.
Great tour. Our guide Francesca was outstanding. Highly recommend.
Excellent touring!!!! Worthy of time spent.
This was a wonderful experience in an overwhelming museum. Our guide, Daniel A, was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. He weaved us through with great stories and digital pictures.
Our tour was a small group to visit the Louvre in the afternoon for two and half hours. Omar was on time, well organized and very well delivered. He explained every highlights and at a very accommodating pace. He was very knowledgeable about the exhibits and very patient in answering questions. I enjoyed very much. .
Lee was excellent. Very knowledgeable and easy to interact with. The small group was a plus. Would recommend
Juan Carlos was a great communicator
Florian was an excellent guide at Le Louvre
Fabian was excellent very knowledgeable on everything
Tour guide Paloma was amazing, she knew every question asked & has a true passion for the arts on display. So glad we booked a tour because it would be easy to get lost with all the people and things to see.
Excellent. Right on time in the meeting place!
Ivana was excellent tour guide. She kept me and my daughter interested on the full tour with many details about the Louvre history and art collection. We had a wonderful tour, I highly recommend her.
Manu was an amazing tour guide! So informative and a generally nice guy. We highly recommend his services 😀😀
Emmanuel was an excellent tour guide giving us a great appreciation for the history of the Louvre!!!
Miriam was my guide. Our entry into the museum was effortless as Miriam escorted us immediately in without any wait of any kind. Miriam’s knowledge of the paintings and sculptures was really incredible. She knew so many things about each work of art and pointed out so many details that I never would have picked up without her. Plus, she had deep background knowledge about the history of the time period in which the art was created and the artist that created it, which deepened my understanding of the individual pieces of art. The museum building itself has its own fascinating history about which I knew absolutely nothing prior to this tour. The building and its surrounding garden is magnificent. The museum has over 40,000 pieces of art so this tour just touched on the highlights. This tour was 2.5 hours long. This is all I had time for during this trip so the length of the tour and the areas viewed fit perfectly into my schedule. Overall, I highly recommend the Louvre tour and Miriam as the guide.
It was so informative and interesting! Much appreciated!
Adrian was awesome. He did a great job storytelling and navigating our group through the chaos of the Louvre.
Our tour guide Hugo was amazing! Highly recommend
Miriam was wonderful. Very knowledgeable and she was able to pivot into very untraditional exhibits in the louvre! Thank you for a wonderful visit
We had an amazing walking tour in Paris city centre and Notre Dame with Eden Mele. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the history come alive with great stories. The tour was well-paced and enjoyable, and Eden’s friendly personality made it even more special.
It was amazing, our tour guide, Julien, did an excellent job with all our needs and wants! Awesome experience with an awesome tour guide! Thank you, Julian!!
Francesca was a really amazing guide, entertaining and clearly loved it, she knew how to navigate the louver so we went quickly to the highlights. The walking part was very informative and was a great way to start.
My wife and I had a wonderful tour from our guide Malakai. We got much more from our experiences in the Paris City Center and Louvre than we would have on our own. In particular, the Louvre is confusing to navigate without a good guide. Malaika had a great knowledge of French history and culture. You can tell she loves the Louvre, and she pointed out many less famous beautiful pieces there. She also recommended a great cafe (Cafe Carousel) for a quick snack between the two parts of the combined tour.
Great Tour! Get Florent if you can! He is a great and very knowledgable guide and easy going person. If you want to see Mona Lisa up close he knows the trick!
Mark was great! We spent about two hours walking around Isle de la Cite, learning about the origin of the city of Paris. We also walked around Saint Germain and the Latin Quarter. We then had an hour lunch break, where we dinned at an out door cafe. After that, we walked to the Louvre, which we stayed for about two hours. We got to see a few of the highlights, such as the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, other paintings by Da Vinci, The Great Sphinx, The wedding at Cana and the winged victory. It was a lot of walking, but worth it. We really enjoyed the tour!
This was by far the best tour we took in Paris. MARCEL was our guide, and we couldn’t have chosen a better person for the job. He had an abundance of knowledge, answered any question that was asked of him, and even made a detour on the city tour once I asked him his what his favorite Parisian street food was. Once inside the Louvre, he shared interesting facts about the history of the sculptures and paintings that he pointed out along the way. With the sheer size of the Louvre, it is a lot to try to take it all in. Marcel provided a comprehensive overview of the works inside the museum that didn’t feel like we were missing anything, but also not overwhelmed by the amount either. If I could, I would have Marcel give me every tour in Paris!
Jean (Babylon tour guide) was such a wonderful guide. We learned so much history and enjoyed everything about our day. Jean really made the difference. So knowledgeable and very personable. Not sure how I could ever find him but would love him as our guide on the next visit.
We had a great experience with Julien. The pace of the tour was perfect and he showed us many hidden gems of Paris. He shared a lot of history and fun facts as we toured the streets of Paris and while we visited the Louvre. After taking this tour, we were able to plan our next day and revisit some of the same spots on our own. I highly recommend taking this tour - especially with Julien.
Outstanding tour guide, well informed, efficient. Tour guide went out of her way to make sure the tour made sense, well timed.
Julian was knowledgeable, efficient & professional. He went out of his way to show a couple of ‘senior’ ladies how to get to the Metro!
We had a wonderful day touring with Miriam! She took us around the city and explained so much of Paris history! She was very knowledgeable and very friendly. Then we ate lunch and went to the Louve where she explained so much about the history of the paintings and sculptures!
Kotryna Strelčiūnaitė was an amazing tour guide! Super knowledgeable and lovely to spend the day walking around the city and exploring the Louvre! Would highly recommend ☺️
Julien was a very good and much experienced guide. He knew which articles to see and tied it together with history. He was bold and got us space in front of each painting and sculptor so we could see it and hear him well. Plaques on each item was in French, so nice to hear about it in English.
