Hugo's so fantastic, we've hired him twice
"We hired Hugo for a tour of the Louvre in January 2024 and found him to be extremely knowledgeable, very interesting, funny, and just a bit irreverent in the best possible way. This January we had friends visiting with us and since we had such a great experience the year before, we hired Hugo again. All of our friends agreed, Hugo makes such a large museum as the Louvre completely approachable, covers all the highlights with wonderful anecdotes and histories and leaves you at the end of the tour with insights and a plan for the remainder of your museum visit. The next time we go to the Louvre, we'll hire Hugo again ... and you should too!"

Great tour, wonderful guide.
"Bibiana was excellent and prompt with all communication, very knowledgeable about the Louvre, art history, etc. She was very nice and helpful throughout preplanning and the tour, she made all members of our group comfortable from baby in stroller to adults. I can’t fathom doing the louvre without a private guide, it’s so insanely crowded and huge, even just entering is an ordeal, but not with Bibiana. She knew just how to move us through the crowd and skip the lines and navigate the huge museum. She also helped us to understand why the most famous pieces are famous and really expanded our knowledge of the renaissance. Thank you! "

Brazing January rain in Montmartre
"We booked our Montmartre tour with Max on a rainy and gloomy winter day. Max was a great sport, led us through hidden alleys and passageways. We stopped to warm up in churches and coffee shop. The area is spectacular and it helped to have a knowledgeable guide to discover gems off the beaten path. Maxime is a history and art buff, and will gladly engage in philosophical and cultural discussions. Book him if these subjects resonate with you too. He sent us off with suggestions for further discoveries and restaurant recommendations. "

PAOLO. IS. EXCELLENT!
"The title of this review says it all. Our large family 8 had such a wonderful time! The fact that it was frigidly cold didn't even matter! 😆 My husband and I have been to Paris once before, but the rest of the family had not. He is so knowledgeable about so much history and architecture of every building in Paris, he made every step a learning and exciting experience. I continually said, "I never knew that!" He was great with the kids- 10, 15 and 17, and encouraged questions of all types! We discussed history, current culture and daily life in Paris, and received the best recommendations for the remainder of our trip. If you're trying to decide who to choose for your guide - look no further. This man is wonderful! Thanks, Paolo!"

What a pleasure
"Absolutely fantastic experience! We had a layover in Paris and were looking for a local guide who could show us around without the stress of planning, and we hit the jackpot with Gelsomina. From the moment we met her, she was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. She made sure we hit all the spots we wanted to see, and even suggested some hidden gems we would have missed otherwise. After our red-eye flight, we really appreciated how easy-going and laid-back she was — it made the whole experience so relaxed and enjoyable. She even went above and beyond by taking the subway with us and ensuring we knew exactly where to go to catch our train back to the airport. Don't think twice, go with Gelsomina! "

Extraordinary
"The Louvre would be an overwhelming experience without someone who knows how to navigate it. But there’s a difference between just taking a tour and having an experience. Hugo captivated us with his passion for the museum, his stories about the artists and his explanations of what is being depicted in the art. I simply cannot imagine a better way to be introduced to the Louvre than by someone who was educated there and who so clearly loves it. "

"Anna was great! My kids and I had limited art history knowledge and Anna adapted to provide a wonderful experience for our family. She took us to the main exhibits and knew how to navigate and extremely busy Louvre. Highly recommend using Anna! "
