Florence was a great guide. She took us to all of the louvre highlights and it was very informative! Great tour! She also provided information and direction for those who wanted to stay after the tour to continue the visit.

Florence was an excellent guide with lots of interesting knowledge of the Louvre.
Our tour guide was Florence. Florence did a great job explaining what was going to happen. Remember ... this is a "greatest hits" tour of the Louvre. It would easily take a week to see everything. Florence hit all the must-see items and kept up a steady supply of information about the art we saw plus the history of the Louvre.
Florence provided us an amazing experience. Extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture. Worth the the price!
Florence was the best. There were only 6 of us and she guided us smoothly and efficiently through the crowded Louvre. Her explanations, descriptions, facts were detailed, relevant and interesting. She was not just spewing bland information. We got the how, why, where and when behind the pieces. She got us upfront and close to all pieces. She was not allowed to be with us at the Mona Lisa but she showed us how to maneuver ourselves in front of the piece. Wow. She also described and noted differences with same pieces found at Versailles. Wish we had taken her tour before Versailles. Best tour ever. Well worth the money.
Cannot recommend this tour highly enough, our guide Tinu was fantastic and without her we wouldn't have had a clue where to start. The tour was really informative and we leaned a lot about the main highlights of the Louvre. There were only 9 people on our tour so it was easy to stick together and we didn't have to wait for stragglers to catch up all the time. We had a fabulous time, thank you so much
Great overview of the louvre highlights and tips for further exploration. Right amount of time for a first visit to the louvre. Our guide was great - funny and very informative. Highly recommend. I don’t know what we would have done solo - the place is so massive and overwhelming.
Addy was very thorough and made sure we were able to see all of the must sees. She was informative and answered our questions.
Our visit to the Louvre was made so much better by having our guide as part of a small group. The heat can take a toll - so summer travelers during the heatwave should be forewarned. We saw the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo’s, and so much more. Our guide, Florence, was incredibly knowledgeable and answered our questions while maintaining order in a somewhat chaotic environment. It would have been so overwhelming without her!
Maryam, our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing the information on the museum’s masterpiece. She seamlessly managed a couple participants with mobility issues. The tour is highly recommended to get the most from your visit to the Louvre and enjoy the experience without getting overwhelmed.
We had a wonderful experience with our guide Florence. It was worth the price to have a professional guide us through and navigate crowds. She was fun and knowledgeable and gave us a great highlight tour. We stayed 3 hours and it flew by The most beautiful museum! Thanks Florence!!
Very nice guide who showed the the highlights and was very accommodating and very knowledgeable
Kristine was amazing!!!! She was very knowledgeable but also had great personal insight! Highly recommend her tour!!!
It is difficult to hear the guide with the electronic aid. It cuts out often, and the noise level makes understanding the guide very difficult. Because of that, we nearly missed half the tour. I suggested to the guide to occasionally say where she was located, giving some sort of reference point. Her reply was that she told us three times where she would be after visiting a specific exhibit. Problem is we did not hear that due to the noise and device cutting out as described above. Recommendation would be to require the guides to occasionally say where they are located in case someone gets lost (which happened to at least one of our party).
Omar pour guide was brilliant. Funny knowledgeable and very efficient. We had a fabulous time
Laurent was our guide. Superior. Very knowledgeable and qualified. He is a valuable member of your staff. When we return to Paris we’ll put in a special request for him to guide and teach us.
Guide was great and very informative
Addie was great and very knowledgeable!
We loved going inside the louvre and learned so much about it and the masterpieces, Frederic was our tour guide and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!
Hamish was amazing. He knew so many things about the museum. We were lucky to have him!
Amazing experience with our tour guide Michelle. Her knowledge and expertise was impressive.Michelle kept our interest the entire 3 hours, with highlighting the important pieces. Highly recommend a small group, especially because of the crowds. Five Stars all around!
Was very crowded and hot but the tour guide was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and nice.
What made it special was the guide. Omar had it dialed in
Our tour of the Louvre was a big tick off of our bucket list. Our tour guide HUGO was just lovely. He was friendly, funny, considerate of our needs and best of all knowledgeable. Highly recommend
Frederick was a wonderful guide for us! He taught us about the history of the museum as well as guided us through a crowded museum to see many famous pieces. We were grateful for his expertise. Having a small group and a personal guide is the only way I would recommend touring the Lourve for the first time! Thank you Frederick!
Claudia Soto is an excellent guide. Her knowledge of the Louvre and its contents is impressive. She asked us at the beginning of the tour what we wanted to see and know about and took it from there.
Toma did a great job. She’s an art student and was extremely knowledgable about the exhibits we saw. She knew how to efficiently get to the exhibits we visited kept the pace moving despite the crowded conditions. Excellent tour of a few of the museum’s highlights.
Excellent navigation through the museum especially on a busy Saturday! Hit the highlights and more!
Florence did a fantastic job taking our family around the museum and explaining all of the beauty and importance of each piece as well as the history. Highly recommend.
Mustafa was our guide and he was incredible! This was private and very educational. We are glad we did this to learn in deeper depth the history and symbology of each piece of art we were able to view. Highly recommend!
Our guide Omar was absolutely the very best and made our trip to The Louvre one we will remember! He started the tour asking our name and remembered them throughout the tour! His art history knowledge was incredible, providing us with relevant historical information about each piece we saw! He was personable, knowledgeable, funny, kind and provided us with a great experience! Thank you!!
Excellent job by our guide Jeanphilippe. The Louvre is not for the weak and he negotiated our way skillfully. Many great works, so crowded and hot. Be prepared
Claire our tour guide was a true professional and extremely knowledgeable in her field. She expertly guided us through all of the highlights the Louvre has to offer. We learned so much history about the Louvre itself and the artwork we saw. She was also very helpful with suggestions of what to explore once the tour ended.
Tour guide (Addie) was fantastic. She was extremely knowledgeable and I appreciated her pace and ability to navigate large crowds to educate us and allow us to take pictures of masterpieces. Addie also provided great interaction to answer any questions the group had about any of the pieces.
We were greeted warmly by staff people from City Wonders, the company that created this amazing tour. The guide, Gregory Mavel, was fun and so knowledgeable. He kept the group moving through the very crowded museum at the perfect pace. You could see and appreciate the art and sculpture while listening to his expert commentary and never feel rushed.
Guide greatly helped us negotiate and appreciate a large busy museum. We hit the highlights but also got to learn the interesting stories behind several works.
Great tour with Gregory he was fantastic!
Gregory was a fabulous guide today. Very knowledgeable about all the art.
Richard was a fabulous tour guide - so knowledgeable about everything in the museum!
Absolutely one of the best tours ever . Mauro was very engaging and made everyone feel at ease . Wonderful service.
The guide/host was Frédéric and he was excellent. The positives are that we got a view of all the highlights at the Louvre , ‘ the three ladies’ for me the low lights were the crowds especially at Mona Lisa , we would have like to have had time to admire and observe all the art but the crowds were too much.
Outstanding, amazing tour of the Louvre Masterpieces. Frederic was warm, kind, and extremely informative about each piece, its history, and history in general. Due to my disability I was unable to see everything he wanted to show us, but what we did see was beautiful and fascinating. His knowledge of each piece and time period was invaluable. The Louvre is an incredible museum steeped in thousands of years of history and is a must-see. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity.
Sev was personable and quite thoughtful about the various ages and physical capabilities in the group. She made the stories of each piece come alive!
Amazing experience with Nazli!! She is just the best. Showed us what was important and also helped us to get the best photos of the paintings/sculptures. Was able to get us through chaotic parts of the museum with ease! You can trust that she will give you a very entertaining tour, she does not muck around and she is very knowledgeable. 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My niece and I had a wonderful experience visiting the Louvre for our first time. Severine was a wonderful guide, so informative but also fun and entertaining. She guided us through the most famous works but also some lesser known works too. Highly recommend skipping all the lines and experiencing the Louvre on this tour.
Great guide Michelle! We would have loved more time to see this fabulous museum with you.
Sid, our tour guide was fantastic! Quite knowledgeable about the love and the exhibits. He was attentive to the guests needs and answered our questions. I would definitely go on an another tour with Sid.
Christina was amazing. Made the Louvre feel ‘small’ and not so overwhelming
I joined this afternoon tour to get more of a picture of the history and famous contents of The Louvre Museum. Mauro was an excellent guide, keeping his group well informed of significant Parisienne & French history, as well as details on some of the prominent features we saw at the Louvre. Thankyou Mauro for an excellent tour!
I had some background in art history, but Addie gave us the most elevated tour possible! Her knowledge of the museum, the individual works, the influences and evolution of the craft - absolute perfection. My husband came with to accompany me, but was blown away by the story behind each piece and left with a new appreciation. Congratulations Addie! You created a new artsy today! Highly recommend!
