Private Louvre Wonders & Hidden Treasures Visit

It was wonderful experience worth my time and money.

I went to Louvre with my girlfriend and Claudio guided us in the museum. He is very gentle, disponible and really professional. We visited all the museum with calm and patience, he explained us everything really clearly and with all details. We really appruciate it ! Absolutely an Experience that you should to in Paris ! Claudio 5 stars !

The entire experience with Claudio was Outstanding. We met promptly at the assigned time and proceeded to start our private tour by asking our preferences.

This was the 2nd time we visited the Louvre with Claudio. He made this visit different than the last one. He also listened to our conversations and added different items that would match our interests. Claudio is a world class tour guide! He has an in depth knowledge, easy going personality and obvious passion for his work. We will continue to book him for tours.

We loved our tour with Claudio at the Louvre! Our family of 5 (4 adults and 1 child) had a private tour mid day. As you can imagine it was very busy at this time but that didn’t stop Claudio from giving us a wonderful tour. Our family was very jet lagged and Claudio took that into consideration with our tour, yet still made sure to show us all the important pieces! Claudio is very knowledge of the museum and the history behind the art. He answered all of our questions and provided us with a lot of interesting facts! He even helped us figure out the best metro to get us to our next destination which was very helpful! Claudio was friendly, personable and fun and we would highly recommend doing a tour with him!

Claudio was absolutely fantastic. This review is for his Louvre tour, but he took us on tours of the Louvre and Versailles (on consecutive days). We are a family of four, with two kids (ages 11 and 14) and he did an incredible job engaging each of us and making sure everyone was enjoying their visits and learning throughout. It's pretty incredible when you take long tours of these enormous sites with kids these ages and hear absolutely zero complaints - that is a testament to how great Claudio was. Claudio was also a true pro - he knew all the ins and outs of these vast sites, and all the tricks for ensuring that we never got stuck in a line or a crowd, and we moved through both tours seamlessly. Skipping the lines at these sites is pretty incredible when you see how incredibly long and frustrating those waits can be. What particularly impressed me was how he was able to effortlessly customize the tour on the fly - when we first met him, he asked each of us what we were interested in seeing (specifically and more generally), and then he instantly put together a plan that showed us everything we wanted and much more without a pause. Again, the Louvre in particular is absolutely massive and overwhelming, but he somehow was able to instantaneously put together an visit for us that hit the highlights, catered to our interests, showed us new things, and didn't leave us frustrated or exhausted. The best part was how he tied everything we saw at the Louvre into Versailles the next day - there were so many fantastic moments of "remember when we saw THAT yesterday - well here is how this connects to THIS that you're seeing today." That showed me that he was really thinking deeply about our experiences and had a real command of art, history, and these fantastic sites. I cannot recommend Claudio more enthusiastically.

Claudio was a Fantastic Louvre Guide! Family of 4, with 2 teens from the US, and he kept us informed and entertained the entire time. Loved learning about the Louvre history from the beginning. Seeing the beauty of early art sculptures, facades and paintings and learning a little history lesson as well. We couldn’t have experienced the Louvre any better than with Claudio!

Claudio was a fantastic guide. We were 3 generations ( 75 year old and a 7 and 9 year old) and everyone enjoyed him. The was a great storyteller and communicator, and used additional tools that helped bring the history and art to life. He was also great with logistics and getting us into the best entrance despite a strike. I would book again without hesitation.

We chose this tour with Claudio because of his excellent reviews, and he still exceeded our high expectations. He is an excellent communicator and so knowledgeable. His delivery is educational, humorous, and engaging. He also took extra care to communicate logistics and skip the lines. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend. We would not want to take on the Louvre without him!

We had the best tour of the Louvre with Claudio. He had a great knowledge and sense of humour. A real enthusiast and we would definitely highly recommend him and will use him again next time we are in Paris.

Just brilliant - highly recommend if you want to truly experience The Louvre and get the stories behind the stories. We all learnt so much and that’s all down to Claudio and his engaging style - effortlessly meeting all our different needs and relishing our questions. He truly brought the art alive. And there’s no way we would have navigated the maze of The Louvre without his guidance and expertise. Bravo and merci beaucoup. I hope you make it to your “adventure” bucket list one day. Vicky, Nigel and Helen.

We enjoyed our semi private tour at the Louvre with our excellent guide Claudio. It was very interesting and engaging for myself and my two teenagers boys. We were able to admire great masterpieces and the great history of the museum. The logistics were very well organized and even if there were crowds the experience was covert smooth with no wait time . Thank Claudio for this memorable experience !

Claudio was an excellent tour guide for our family of 5. He was engaging and thoughtful. We loved the small group of 6. The museum was extremely crowded due to the time of year and the rainy day and Claudio still made the trip personal. Everyone in our family enjoyed the tour and walked away with highlights. I would highly recommend Claudio and this tour!

We took two tours with Claudio and both exceed my expectations. Our first day in Paris we did the Ile de la Cite and it was the perfect way to start our trip. We learned about the start of Paris. Claudio was very attentive to our needs and shifted the tour to make sure we were able to see things we wanted to see. He even showed us how to ride the Metro to make sure we could comfortably navigate the city. We have two teenagers and he held their attention and that the tour kept their interest. Our girls loved Claudio and they are not easily impressed ( like most teenage girls). We also did the Louvre tour. Such a difference going with a knowledgeable guide. We went on a day when the Louvre was exceptionally packed (Christmas time). Claudio was able to navigate us through the crowds so that we could see everything and he also was able to give us a lot of information so we got so much more out of our time there. The next day we went to the Museum d’orssay without him, big mistake. We really struggled without him. We had such a short time in Paris with so many things to see, having a knowledgeable and experienced guide made us feel like we made got so much more out of our time there. Claudio was worth every penny!!!

Words cannot describe how wonderful our tour guide Claudio was! Not only did he make the Louvre feel accessible for our twin 13 year old boys, but he made the entire experience as entertaining as possible. We learned so much for him and it made the entire experience one to remember!

Claudio communicated the ticket procedure and meeting place very well. He was on time and very efficient in getting us into the louvre without the crowds. He tailored our visit to what we were interested in and the information he shared with us was very useful when we went to Versailles the next day!! I would highly recommend this tour!!

We had an amazing experience with Claudio!! He was an expert story teller and very engaging! We were transported back in time and felt so inspired. We don’t normally enjoy art but Claudio made the difference. We loved it.

Our experience at the Louvre was made unforgettable thanks to our amazing tour guide! They were incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the museum’s art and history to life with fascinating stories and insights. Their passion for the subject was contagious, and they made even the most complex details easy to understand. The guide was also wonderfully organized, helping us navigate the museum effortlessly while highlighting must-see masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. They even tailored the tour to our interests, which made it feel extra special. If you're visiting the Louvre, I can’t recommend this guide enough — they truly made the visit exceptional!

Claudio was a wonderful guide, attentive and thoughtful. Prepared and always smiling at any of our requests. I highly recommend him for your visit to Paris

Hello! Claudio is a MUST BOOK! So my husband told me he had booked a tour guide for the Louvre, which made me unhappy. If you know me, you know how much I hate guided tours. This man made EVERYTHING in the Louvre interesting. We spent over two hours with him, and it honestly flew by. I learned so much history and interesting details about the Louvre. It was the best experience I had in a museum. He was kind and extremely knowledgeable. He made sure our tour went off without a hitch. He made sure to stop and give us breaks when needed. The way he explained things, made me want to know more. I promise you, if you book with Claudio, you will not regret it. It will make going to the Louvre an experience to remember! I have shared so many things I learned from Claudio with my family, and they found them so interesting. As I stated before, Claudio is a MUST!

Visiting the Louvre under the amazing guide of Claudio was the highlight of our Paris trip. You already know you have to visit the Louvre and you already know how immense the museum is inside, so make yourself a favor and book a private tour with Claudio. He was very knowledgeable about everything, from accessing super quickly (it took us no more than 3 minutes going through security), to navigating the museum with important rest breaks (we didn't feel tired after the 2.5+ hours of tour), to knowing and understanding every detail of the history and art in the Louvre. I'll certainly book with Claudio again for my next trip to Paris.

Claudio is a fantastic tour guide! He is extremely knowledgable and made our tour of the Louvre very meaningful. We highly recommend taking a tour with him! He will customize your experience allowing you to make most of your visit to the Lourve.

Such an incredible experience. The absolute best way to experience the louve and enjoy it! Learned so much through the experience and will remember the back stories of the different pieces. Could not recommend Claudio more. One of the best guide experiences I've ever had. Also Claudio was super helpful and accommodating with our schedule and giving us advice afterwards on how to navigate post visit.

Claudio was amazing! His insight into the history of the Louvre and its art and sculptures made our tour the best I have ever experienced. I would highly recommend this, especially if you want to see the best the Louvre has to offer without spending hours upon hours there. There were 4 of us in our group and we had all been there before, but never knew so many interesting details as we heard today with Claudio!

We had a wonderful experience touring the Louvre with Claudio. He was very knowledgeable about the museum and how to navigate the busy crowds, and he was excellent at capturing the attention of the whole family(my husband and I were traveling with our two young children). I strongly recommend Claudio as your Paris tour guide, and will recommend him to any friends who visit Paris in the future.

Claudio was the most knowledgeable, thorough, kind, and enjoyable guide! His expertise sets him apart from his colleagues and his professionalism is top notch. Can’t recommend him highly enough!!

Our guide, Claudio, knew the highlights in the Louvre and explained them in chronological order, which helped us put all of the art in context. His interpretations and stories about certain art works brought the pieces to life. He was professional and attentive to details. He made us want to learn more.

Claudio was amazing and super knowledgeable. What an amazing time we had with him touring the Louvre. We learned many interesting things that without a tour guide you would probably never learn about the amazing history that the Louvre has. Thank you Claudio. Rated A+++

The tour & our guide was a highlight of our trip to Paris. Claudio was very personable & knowledgeable of the history & Louve exhibits. I would highly recommend the private tour & Claudio…we will book again with him on our next trip!!

Claudio was the best tour guide hands down! The Louvre is huge and he was able to show us key pieces and provided detailed background without overwhelming us. He maneuvered the Louvre like a pro! He answered all of our questions and shared fun stories. His passion was evident when he made you look at a sculpture from various angles. Heard he is well versed with Versailles so I know who I want for that tour! Merci Claudio!

Claudio’s tour was awesome. He let us see the Louvre in a different light, learning lots about its long history. One thing I took away from him is looking at art from different perspectives and angles - it was magical to look at art pieces this way and something I will take with me.

We visited the Louvre with Claudio and we were super thankful we did. He is very knowledgeable and spent time with us at the most important pieces explaining the history and detail in great and interesting detail. I truly wish we could come to France and just hang around with Claudio the entire time to gain knowledge and understanding of Paris more thoroughly. he is a top notch guide and a good guy in general. He was very accommodating, patient and organized with a plan. We highly recommend him.

Claudio was an outstanding guide for our tour. He tailored the tour to include our individual interests routing us through the crowds at the Louvre so that we got to efficiently visit the main exhibits we wanted to see. Without this guidance, we would have spent a lot of time on lines and in crowds. His guidance helped us maximize the benefit of our experience. We are all English speakers (OK, I do know a little French) and Claudio spoke the language clearly and understandably. As a plus, he enthusiasm for the subject matter was contagious. We had a wonderful time at the Louvre thanks to Claudio. We also had Claudio be our guide on a Versailles tour which we equally wonderful. I highly recommend these small tour scenarios as it allowed us to have great conversations with Claudio covering both our tours but also life in France and Paris in particular. It was the best of travelling experiences. Claudio is very highly recommended.

Claudio was a wonderful tour guide. We went with our teen kids, and he was able to fully engage them in the tour (not always an easy thing to do with teens!) He discussed our interests and tailored the tour to what we wanted to see. He was patient, caring, and very interesting and knowledgeable. We have wonderful memories of his tour of the Louvre.

Claudio was extremely knowledgeable about the Louvre its history and its hidden gems. Also he knew how to see the Musuem in a way to avoid the mass tourist and yet see the key items.

We had a wonderful tour of the Louvre, Filled with interesting history and time well spent in the museum! It was so helpful to be with a knowledgeable guide! Claudio was terrific… we would join him again happily!

Claudio was extremely knowledgeable and was able to provide unique perspectives on the art, sculptures, and the history of the Louvre. He was also kind, funny and professional. Visiting the Louvre with Claudio was one of the highlights of our trip and we would highly recommend him!

Claudio was an outstanding guide! He was knowledge, friendly and so interesting. He greatly enhanced our Louvre visit and we would not have learned as much as we did about history and art without him. On top of that, he was funny, engaging, and just all-around fun to be with! We highly and completely recommend him for any tour you might need!

What an excellent overview of the Louvre! Claudio provided just the right amount of knowledge, humor, pace for my teenager and me to leave us wanting to see more of both the museum and the rest of Paris. Had we known about Claudio, we would have asked him to guide us for our whole trip. Excellent at navigating the crowds, child-friendly, easygoing, would highly recommend!

Claudio✌️ made our visit to the Louvre so very special! He could explain the history of every piece with ease, which made our visit truly inspirational. My husband doesn’t love museums and didn’t want to spend more than two hours, but those two hours seemed like such a full day because we came away having learned so much.

Claudio was a wonderful Louvre tour guide. He is knowledgeable and informative, easy to understand and very personable. We are a family of 3, including our 15 year old son. Claudio led us on a personalized, private tour of highlights and showed us the easiest and quickest way to see Mona Lisa. When our tour was over he pointed us in the direction of other art we were interested in staying to see. We would highly recommend Claudio for group and private tour. We greatly enjoyed our time together and thought it was a great value. We felt that having him guide us around saved us a lot of time and stress.

We toured the Louvre with Claudio, who was absolutely the best tour guide we had in Paris. He was knowledgeable and entertaining and made the tour informative while still keeping our kids engaged. We would absolutely take other tours with Claudio in the future.

From the beginning, Claudio was very friendly and communicative. He was super easy to find at our meet up spot, too! After meeting up, he easily navigated us through the line and started the tour by getting to know us and sharing more about himself too. He made sure to ask us what we wanted to see and ensured that we saw the biggest highlights. His storytelling skills were very good, so we all found him easy and interesting to listen to. Will definitely contact him next time we're in Paris.

Claudio was amazing! He made the Louvre an engaging experience and knows the history behind many significant pieces very well. We would have gladly listened to him for many more hours if we could

Great tour guide. Knowledgeable and catered the tour specifically for our group with teenagers - not too long or short. Our kids really enjoyed the tour and didn’t fall asleep. Well worth booking the private tour so Claudio is able to cater specifically to your group. The communication was flawless.

We came to France with our twin 5 year olds and my 75year old MIL to celebrate Christmas - over the 2 weeks we have been here, booking Claudio for our Louvre tour was the BEST thing we did. He showed up early, got us a locker (they filled up!), gave us the best overview of the Louvre as we bypassed a 2 hour long line and then proceeded to give a tour that kept my 5 year olds enthralled for 3 hours (no joke). He gave them a custom coloring book/activity book and colored pencils and was so passionate and knowledgeable about everything. He kept all of our attentions and we are so grateful we found him. 100% worth every penny - book a tour with him, you won’t regret it!

Claudio has taught us more in a few hours than we could have hoped in a lifetime. His passion and charisma create a unique and unforgettable experience. The amount of art, sculptures, and history we were not only able to see but truly learn about was beyond expectations. There's a reason he has 5 stars from so many reviewers- he's the best there is! Take this tour and enjoy your Louvre memories for the rest of your days.

Best tour in Paris! Claudio is passionate, friendly, and a great story teller. We enjoy the selection of artworks he covered(it seems to be customized to the group), his presentation was clear and easy to understand. (We are not native English speaker and have limited knowledge in history but we have no issue with communication)The tour is definitely a highlight of our Paris trip and a memory I'll cherish. On a side note, Claudio has been a guide for 8 years(hope I remember it right) and recently started his own company. He's doing a great job and I highly recommend touring with him!

Claudio was a great guide. He introduced us to the most famous exhibitions because it was our first time to visit Louvre. Then he took us to visit exhibitions less crowded but still interesting and beautiful. He was friendly and very patient with us. He told us great stories and was able to answer all of our questions. He also offers tour to Versailles. We booked a different tour company for Versailles and it was not as good as Claudio.
