Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"First of all, Julien was spectacular!!! BUT, tickets were not available when we showed up when our voucher specifically stated not to buy tickets and just pay cash to Julien who would have the tickets. Your website should state to purchase the tickets at the same time you book a guide!?!?! But he helped us reschedule another day, but the tickets available had to be a package so we’re a lot more money. Once on the tour with Julien, he was remarkable with information and stories to make the experience memorable!"
"Emilie was very knowledgeable and provided a terrific overview of the Louvre highlights. "
"Our family had a wonderful and informative time with Hugo. The Louvre can be overwhelming but Hugo made our visit so enjoyable. His knowledge and passion for art is clear. Highly recommend booking with Hugo for his insight, thoughtfulness and for providing an overall memorable experience. My children have a deeper appreciation for art!"
"My husband and I both agree that Bibiana was the greatest tour guide we’ve ever hired to tour an art museum. And we’re so glad that museum was The Louvre! Bibiana demonstrates a striking passion for the medieval and Renaissance art she showed us. Her knowledge of those works, the artists and their era, even the techniques used by each and what made each artist and piece unique was very evident. Bibiana was so patient and sweet with our two toddler sons and we feel like she became our friend in the two amazing hours we spent with her. We are looking forward to our next tour with Bibiana!"
"Our family of 5 booked a tour with Sophie, and we had a great time. My children are 4, 7, and 9 and they were all very happy to do the scavenger hunt. Sophie was engaging and structured with the time which helped keep the kids focused. My 4 year old got a little tired of walking at one point but in the end he has a great time. I would recommend this tour for any family! "
"Thanks so much to Hugo for making our visit to the Louvre the best possible. We learned so much from Hugo about the history of the museum, French history in regard to the art we viewed, and we had so much fun while learning. Hugo was engaging, made the history come alive, and was funny. Our tour group also included my 92-year-old mother on her first trip to Paris and his kindness and consideration for her during the tour was so appreciated. We truly recommend Hugo for this tour! We are so grateful for the amazing time."
"Communication with Julien prior to the day of the tour was great! He kept us informed of all of the important details, including the place to meet him on the day of the tour. He purchased our admission tickets to the Louvre in advance, and was waiting in the line to enter the museum before it opened. Once it opened we very quickly made our way to see the Mona Lisa and it gave us a great view before the crowds arrived. He continued yes to point out the highlights of the Louvre and explained a lot of detail in the paintings to really help us understand the artists perspective. It was a fantastic way to see the highlights and avoid the crowds and lines as much as possible. "
"Paola was great! We saw parts of the Louvre we had never seen and learned new things about the artists and the works of art Would definitely contact her next time we want a Paris guide"
"A big thanks to Paula for a brilliant tour of the Louvre… we learnt so many interesting facts and stories. We were a family of 4 with 2 children aged 11 and 8, and Paola managed to make it interesting for all of us!"
"We had an enjoyable morning at the Louvre with Bibiana who is an expert in Renaissance Art. We started touring from the foundation of the Louvre understanding how the palace turned into a great museum before maneuvering between the most iconic exhibits of the Louvre. Bibiana's narratives was simple and precise. As a painting expert, she did not just throw out a bunch of information but instead she weaved a historical picture of how painting styles evolved and how an amateur could understand the story and thus appreciate each artwork.

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.
