Best guide ever - brought history and the arts alive

Kerry_M, Aug 2025

I cannot say enough good things about this tour. Our guide, Romain was the best guide we’ve ever had. He had a passion for history and the arts and was able to navigate my family with 4 boys to the highlights of the Louvre and the D’ Orsay and brought the art alive. He made it interesting and engaging and we want to go back again to see more! Without a guide, we never would have gotten this much out of our time at these museums. His knowledge and passion were well worth the time and money!

Response from Host, Aug 2025

Bonjour Kerry and thank you so much! Romain is a key player in our team and for exactly the reason you have experienced !! We cannot wait to show you more of Paris next time!!

Elliott is the best!

William_S, Oct 2024

Having Elliott give us a private tour of the Louvre with all his art history knowledge was absolutely fantastic! He shared so much knowledge and took us through specific ways that it all came together for a fantastic experience. We got right in, he gave more of a timeline in a coherent way. Then when we got to the d’Orsay it was more like a continuation of the same timeline and made it so much more memorable. He was fantastic!

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Bonjour William, thank you very, very much for your super kind words ! Elliott indeed is very passionate guide and a great person. We can only hope to see you exploring more of Paris with us soon !

Amazing, Highly Recommended Tour

Glenn_P, Sep 2024

Alexandre provided an outstanding tour of the Louvre, weaving together the history of French royalty and the museum’s architecture with surprising insights into both famous and lesser-known artworks. His captivating storytelling brought all these elements to life, making our visit an unforgettable experience. Probably the best tour we've been on. Thanks Alex!

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Bonjour Glenn and thank you very, very much for your wonderful review ! We are very proud Alex is a core member of our team and you have just explained why !

Only way to see the Louvre

Dean_L, Nov 2023

The skip the line was the best way to go. Our tour guild Marc was fantastic. His knowledge and story telling on the history was great. With the skip the line we were able to get right in and for the first hour seemed as we almost had the place to ourself. Upon exit there must have been thousands of people waiting for hours to get in. I highly recommend to do the skip the line.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hello Dean and merci beaucoup for taking the time to write a review about your private tour with Marc ! He is indeed an extraordinary tour guide and we are so happy you appreciated your time in his hands while visiting the Louvre with fast-line access.

Great afternoon at the Louvre.

Joan_a, Feb 2020

Great tour, very informative, guide was terrific. Not only did guide talk about the art inside of the Louvre, but the history of the building inside and out,

Well informative tour

Ayman_B, Jan 2020

The tour guid Laura was very well informed. It was a fully loaded educational session for my children and me about the Louver, the collection, the history and the people.

Response from Host, Jan 2020
