Experience Night Tours in Paris with Withlocals

"If you are a jazz lover...and even a blues lover this tour is a MUST book experience. My husband and I were not sure what to expect- and this tour exceeded our expectations. We were taken into some of the most interesting venues and we listened to incredible music. Olivia was a delight and added a certain "je ne sais quoi" to the evening. We were especially impressed with her ability to help make our experience more interesting. Book this tour! The one on one experience was especially wonderful. There is nothing like Parisian Jazz! "

"Bibiana was FANTASTIC ! She made visiting the Louvre such an interactive and fun experience. As an art history novice, I have historically found this museum to be over whelming. She unraveled some of the secrets of the museum and its treasures in a way that made the museum feel alive. She is energetic and passionate about the treasures of the Louvre. Well done Bibiana !!!"

"I booked this holiday excursion as surprise for my family and a celebration experience. I read up on "With Locals" and found Hugo. He is an art historian specializing on the paintings of Versailles. Although we wished we had time to visit Versailles, we were lucky enough to secure Hugo as a guide for the Louvre. Hugo's thorough knowledge of the Louvre itself brought a unique and unexpected perspective. He took us down to the excavation site underneath the building, which was discovered during the installation of the I.M. Pei Pyramids in the 1980s. He talked about the construction and stonework and how the Seine River still makes its presence known. We were taken through to see the Venus de Milo, where he explained its construction (like Legos?) and her missing limbs. He brought us up close to Winged Victory (aka Nike) and how its wings bring balance to the statue. There were so many interesting and new viewpoints that Hugo introduced us to. My favorite was the Mona Lisa. Honestly, I was not as interested in the painting until I heard about who she was and the truth behind her smile. It was an honest and poignant explanation that touched my heart. If you want to know, hire Hugo! If you want a once-in-a-lifetime visit, spend the money and the time to engage a tour guide for the Louvre, especially Hugo. So many people mill around looking at paintings and statues mindlessly without the possibility of understanding their significance. The Louvre came to life with Hugo. I now understand the depth of the institution and had a more meaningful experience. "

"My wife and I had a wonderful evening at the Louvre thanks to Bibiana showing us around. She patiently explained the notable pieces of art, and it is obvious that she is very knowledgeable in the subject. Would definitely have Bibiana show us around when we visit Paris next."

"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."

"Danilo was an great guide. We saw 3 fantastic bands in places I would have never found on my own. He asked good questions upfront to help tailor the night to music I would really like. The next day he followed up with more recommendations for the rest of my stay. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to hear the best of Paris."

"Bibiana was amazing! I highly recommend her. "

"Meeting up with Paulette was easy. I’m so glad we did this tour with her on our first full day in Montmartre. She encouraged me to spend time exploring angles and focus with my iPhone and entertained my artist, not photographer, husband at the same time. We learned about the area. We timed the walk such that we were able to take photos in three different lights which was great fun. Day, golden hour and night. I would have liked a bit more direction back to our starting point before she left us in front of Moulin Rouge. "

"We loved our time with Bibiana! She was so sweet and did such a good job making the Louvre interesting to our 11, 14 and 17 year olds! We learned a lot and had a good time. When we talked about it afterwards, our 11-year-old said "I'm really glad we had a guide! I learned so much that I wouldn't have otherwise". That really sums it up! "
