"Maxime was thoughtful, knowledgeable, engaging and our 12 and 15 yo spontaneously pointed out features of sculptures, paintings, and historical and philosophical context that Maxime relayed to us during the Louvre tour on subsequent museum visits in other countries. Maxime was also punctual, available on super short notice, arranged entry tickets for us, and we generally loved meeting him - a highlight of our Paris visit. "

"From the moment we met Fe for our tour of the Louvre, she started telling us such interesting facts that it kept us wanting to learn more. Fe has a vast wealth of knowledge but she doesn't make you feel bad if you have not heard of a particular person or period. The time just flew by. If we come back to Paris I would definitely check to see if she was still doing tours! "

"Julien was an exceptional guide for our private Louvre tour! He was warm, personable, and incredibly friendly from the moment we met him. His knowledge of the artwork and history was outstanding, and he shared fascinating stories and context that you would never get from an audio guide. He was especially wonderful with our daughters, Olivia and Sofia, keeping them engaged and genuinely interested throughout the tour. He also thoughtfully adjusted the pace when our daughter Olivia wasn’t feeling well, showing great patience and kindness. We are so grateful for Julien’s expertise, flexibility, and genuine care. He made our visit to the Louvre an unforgettable experience, and we would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for a truly special tour."

"This was my 3rd visit to the Louvre and by far the best! My wife and I brought our 3 sons (18, 21, 22) for their 1st visit from the states. Julien was excellent! He made sure we negotiated the museum ahead of the crowds and were able to see the great works comfortably. We were all engaged and learned so much about the exhibits and the museum as an institution. My boys loved it! The tour flew by at 3 hours and Julien expertly took us through the highlights of the vast museum. We could have done it all day!"

"Julien was AMAZING! So full of knowledge, so accommodating and a delight to be around. "

"Hugo is an art and history scholar. He has just completed his PhD. His knowledge is deep and vast. But that alone doesn’t make a good guide. What is wonderful is his ability to access his audience (in our case three sixteen year old boys and their grandparents) and engage us all. He knows each piece of art intimately. His sense humor and playfulness along with passion for the art made the two hour we spent with him at the Louvre fly. We could have happily remained with him for another two hours. The next day he took us to the Musée D’Orsay. He was just as engaging and captivating. What was so thrilling for the grandparents was to see the reluctant grandsons completely engaged and delighted. Thank you Hugo!! Much success in your next phase of what promises to be a stellar career!"

"Our family of four (parents, son, and daughter-in-law) thoroughly enjoyed our Louvre tour with Hugo. He brought the museum to life through his deep knowledge of art history, engaging storytelling, and obvious passion for the subject. Rather than simply viewing famous works, we gained a richer understanding of how artists, ideas, and artistic movements influenced one another across different eras. Hugo skillfully guided us through the museum, highlighting details and connections we never would have discovered on our own. He made the art accessible and fascinating for everyone in our group, combining education, humor, and insight in just the right balance. The experience was one of the highlights of our time in Paris, and we would highly recommend Hugo to anyone seeking an exceptional Louvre guide."

"Our family had a very good tour with Hugo. He had a lot of insights and made navigating Orsay very straightforward. Our 3 teenage girls were attentive and gained more understanding of the art and the artists. Hugo was efficient and found quiet places in each room to talk (had headsets too). Definitely recommend Hugo as a local guide."

"We loved our pastry tour with Izabele! She was so friendly and easy to talk to - she not only introduced us to local pastries, she toured us around a section of Paris! We had a great time and saw things we never would have discovered on our own. We highly recommend!"

"Ali was very friendly and excited to share the unique flavors of Paris. Knowledgeable on both the food and the history of the area. Answered our questions along the way and gave recommendations for the rest of our stay. Would highly recommend the tour and Ali!"
