What other guests say about our tours and locals
"I was passing through for a day and wanted to explore the Louvre. I could not have asked for a better guide. She was genuinely excited to share her vast knowledge of art history along with Parisian history and did so with a warmth, kindness, and patience. I will definitely have her show me around the museum again next time I’m in town. "
"Fe was a truly knowledgeable guide for the Louvre. We purchased our tickets ahead of time and Fe got us in without needing to stand in line at all. She was supportive of our interests and helped us use our time wisely. "
"Brilliantly entertaining, extremely knowledgeable and totally charming. Highly recommended."
"Julien was great. Easy to communicate with, on time and he was very good at keeping my family engaged. He knows the Louvre museum like the back of his hand. I recommend him"
"Bibiana brought to life art and history! There were 6 of us with varied exposure to France and the Louvre. We all learned something new as she pointed out fascinating facts and helped us understand how to see things in context. Despite the crowd and imperfect audio system, she held our attention for the entire tour. Thanks Bibiana for igniting our interest in learning and appreciating the arts. We will be back and hope to see you again. "
"Thank you so much Emilie for our fantastic tour of the Louve! We can't rave enough about Emilie and are so thankful we booked the Louve with her. We didn't give her a "must see" list of art to see, we are experienced museum goers so we left it to Emilie to show us her version of the Louve. We spent a fair bit of time learning to history of the museum itself rather than running from one masterpiece to the next and are we the better for it! There is a vast part of the original medieval fortress that predates the museum that many people miss. We learned all about it and so enjoyed this part of the tour! After teaching us the history of the Louve, we did see several "must see's" as well. I also wanted to visit the Couture Exhibit and Emilie made sure we knew exactly how to get to the beginning of that show. We could not be happier with her and highly recommend Emilie as a guide! Thanks again Emilie!!"
"Juliane was amazing! We toured the Louvre with our 11 and 7 year old daughters. My husband is a history teacher and has spent many years teaching Art History. Julien was able to keep everyone engaged! The Louvre was our girls favorite part of Paris, thanks to the amazing tour we had!! Cannot recommend enough"
"We picked Hugo because of his educational background and he did not disappoint. He can tell you unique details about the paintings; and the history surrounding the painting. Also… ask him about his book… very interesting "
"Livia was very knowledgeable and had great demeanor with our teenage kids. She helped us navigate the Louvre in a relaxed but thorough manner, making sure we had a good grasp of the museum’s highlights. Our kids had a great time and learned a lot, and so did we. Thanks Livia!"
"We had the best time on a rainy day with Bibiana! Her tour of the Louvre was interesting, informative and fun. She tailed it to our group and accomodated last minute changes. I highly recommend booking her for as many events as you can!"

The Louvre is more than just the Mona Lisa. With 35,000 artworks across miles of halls, it’s easy to miss the good stuff... unless you go with a local. Here are some smart tips and fun facts to help you make the most of your visit.
The Louvre is known for its art, but it was once home to kings and queens. Before it became the world’s most famous museum, it was a royal palace filled with secrets. With a local guide, you’ll spot the hidden details in the architecture and hear stories about court life, royal drama, and history that most visitors miss entirely.
Most visitors snap a photo of the famous glass pyramid, but few know there’s a second one hidden below. The inverted pyramid sits underground and has a story of its own. With a local guide, you’ll see both and learn how they fit into the Louvre’s design, symbolism, and modern history. It’s a fun surprise that most people miss.
You’ve seen the photos, but seeing the Mona Lisa in person still feels special. Yes, she’s smaller than most people expect, but there’s a reason why she draws such a crowd. With a local guide, you’ll not only get tips on how to see her without the rush, but you’ll also hear the story behind her fame. And just steps away, there’s so much more to discover. From the Winged Victory of Samothrace to the Venus de Milo and grand French masterpieces, your guide will help you make the most of every corner of the museum.
The Louvre is massive, and trying to see everything can be overwhelming. That’s where a local guide makes all the difference. Instead of rushing through endless halls, you’ll focus on the pieces that truly interest you. Whether that’s Renaissance paintings, ancient Egyptian treasures, or lesser-known gems tucked away in quiet corners. It’s a more relaxed, meaningful way to explore, with more stories and fewer crowds.
The Louvre can get crowded fast, especially around its most famous artworks. But with a private guide, you don’t have to follow the crowds. They know the best times to visit, the quietest routes through the museum, and even alternate entrances. It’s a more relaxed way to explore, giving you space to enjoy the art and take in the stories without feeling rushed. Want to avoid the daytime crowds entirely? Some locals even offer night tours, when the museum feels calmer, quieter, and even more magical.
Long before it became a museum, the Louvre was a fortress guarding the city. And part of that original medieval structure is still there—underground. With a local guide, you can head to the basement and walk alongside the ancient stone walls that most visitors never even hear about. It’s a fascinating detour that brings the Louvre’s oldest chapter to life.
The Louvre can be a lot to take in with huge crowds, long halls, and endless art. With a private tour, the experience feels lighter and more relaxed. You can take breaks when you need to, focus on what excites you, and skip what doesn’t. No rushing to keep up with a group. Just a smooth, thoughtful visit designed around your energy and interests.
Audio guides are fine for basic facts, but they miss what makes the art really memorable. A local guide shares the juicy details, the surprising stories, and the kind of cultural context you won’t hear in a recording. Even better, you can ask questions along the way. Whether you’re curious about an artwork, a historical twist, or just want a fun fact, a real person can give you real answers.
he Louvre with kids? It’s more than possible and it can actually be fun. With the right guide, the visit turns into an adventure filled with myths, stories, scavenger hunts, and surprising facts. No boring lectures or endless walking without a purpose. A private tour keeps things moving, answers curious questions, and makes the experience enjoyable for everyone, from toddlers to teens to grown-ups.
Art and culture work up an appetite. Luckily, your guide knows exactly where to go when the tour ends. Skip the overpriced spots and head to a café that locals actually love. Whether you’re craving a flaky croissant, a glass of wine, or a classic French lunch, you’ll get a recommendation that’s close, authentic, and just what you need to complete the experience.
See the Louvre Museum through the eyes of a local. From the Mona Lisa to forgotten gems, explore it all with a private guide who customizes the tour to your interests. Skip the lines and dive into centuries of art and history.
