Pilou was an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We smoothly moved through the Louvre, stopping for the highlights. He provided great information on the major exhibits. I would recommend using him. .

We recently did a small group tour at the Louvre which ended up just being the four of us (two of which were teenagers). Marie (went by Mary) was our tour guide and she was fantastic!! She took us on a two hour journey that allowed us to see all of the "major" items we were looking to see and some additional ones as well. The museum is massive and one can spend days just walking around not really knowing what to see as I have done before on at least two occasions. The context and history she gave around each piece we were viewing was excellent and allowed us to really enjoy what we were seeing. The manner in which we proceeded was also great starting with the fortress that was first there, then to ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, etc. Another benefit was that it included the tickets which was something that we did not have to deal with getting. I would highly recommend this tour and especially Marie, if you can get her as your guide.
Excellent tour. No waiting in line and tour guide friendly and knowledgeable.
Excellent organization. All details and risks are pre-considered. I’ll come back for other tours soon
Knowledgeable guide who spoke great English. Very well organized and interesting tour.
Our excellent & passionate tour guide introduced us to the iconic masterpieces Mona Lisa, Venus of Milo, Winged Victory of Samothrace, and Napoleon’s coronation and connected the historical evolution of this former royal palace spanning 800 years that was transformed from a medieval fortress to a Renaissance royal residence, later serving partly as a museum.
Ashkan was a wonderful guide! His knowledge of the paintings and the building were outstanding. We wished we could have stayed with him even longer. I highly recommend!
Our small group tour of the Louvre was fantastic! We loved our tour guide Maryam. It was the first time in the Louvre, so it was overwhelming - she provided us with an excellent overview, took us to the most famous works (so many here!), and providing us exposure to the less visited and equally fascinating exhibits including Mesopotamia and Babylonian art. We learned about the history of the museum, architectural features, and many exciting events in the past like robberies! I loved the Grecian and Roman art on display. Spent lots of time on Renaissance art and then French painters. Each room looked more beautiful than the last. Maryam was very knowledgeable about art, ancient cultures, and history. She was very thoughtful and accomadating of our needs. We had one member of our party who was slow and didn’t like stairs, she went out of her way to make sure he could take elevators. Overall it was an excellent experience, so much better than expected and Maryam was a superb guide. I would highly recommend her to everyone else! I’d recommend doing a Friday evening tour, this was still very busy but not as bad as other times.
Our tour guide Pilou was outstanding! He navigated us through the museum hitting all of the highlights. He took his time to explain meaning and stories behind every piece of art. He was extremely knowledgeable and very informative. He made our experience exceptional!
Our tour guide was excellent! The Louvre opened late on the day of our tour (May 4), but our guide got us in line so that we were one of the first to go in when it opened. This also allowed time for him to give us lots of overall information on the Louvre before we entered. Being one of the first to go in allowed us to see so much without crowds. The guide was also cognizant of our hard stop in order to get to our next tour, but was about to show us so much before our time was up. We were very pleased with how the tour went!
Our tour guide Alex was wonderful! He is kind and very knowledgeable. He customized the tour to what we wanted to prioritize. Thank you Alex!
The guide was great, friendly, funny and very passionate about art and french culture. The experience went smoothly. Five stars !
Akiko led us on a private tour of the Louvre and absolutely exceeded our expectations. We originally hired a guide for logistical help navigating the vast, often overwhelming museum, but what we received was a rich, engaging education in French history and art. Akiko was energetic, thoughtful, and full of fascinating insight. She took us straight to the highlights—popular works and hidden gems alike—and shared detailed stories that brought each piece to life. Her pacing was perfect, and she was always attuned to our group’s needs. Touring the Louvre with her was one of the best decisions of our entire trip.
The guided tour itself was good. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. However, the tour company never gave us the museum tickets so we were unable to see anything else in the museum after the guide left. We contacted the tour operator using the Viator app but ended up leaving due to no response. They did eventually send the tickets almost an hour later but we had already left the museum since we have small children and were not going to wait an unknown amount of time for them to answer. I even called Viator but all they could send me was the voucher which was no help since the tour company had the actual tickets. We paid almost 600 Euros and only got to see one wing of the museum. We requested a partial refund but were denied.
Our guide was simply excellent! He added so much personal detail to our tour, and helped us navigate the crazy crowds. This was a small person tour, and as such, we were able to get in ahead of most lines. Otherwise, the wait would have been very long. I recommend taking a 9am tour so the crowds are not as crazy as later in the day. His suggestions for getting to the front to see the Mona Lisa were spot on.
Blerta was an excellent guide. Her love for art history showed in her explanations. She also included our toddler in every conversation which was very special.
Great tour in a small group. Zach was great and told us so much. The tour keeps it from being overwhelming. He showed us all the things we wanted to see.
I visited the Louvre Museum years ago with my family, and I can easily say that it’s much better when you have someone to explain each period. It’s so useful if you want to make the most of your visit — you’ll really notice the difference. Thanks for the great organization!
Jerome was a great guide . He is full of knowledge . I really love how he created the tour from beginning to end. Starting early was also great to beat the crowd .
We only had a short period of time to visit, and this was a perfect summary. Entry & navigation would have been difficult without guidance.
Although our guide Akiko was very knowledgeable and helpful with our questions, I would suggest a longer tour as it was too short for the large number of exhibits Louvre has. Having said this, it is good for those who are only interested in seeing the highlights of the museum.
