Hello Maggie, thank you so much for the review…Great to know that you had a wonderful time and we can’t wait to welcome you back for discovering & exploring other parts of the Louvre!
Leslie_S, Apr 2026
Blerta was an engaging and knowledgeable tour guide who offered a perfect highlights tour of the Louvre for my teenage daughter (her first) and me (my third). She combined art, museum and French history in our tour bringing us quickly past the lines and through highlights and unique areas of the vast museum.
She made it feel as if the 30,000 visitors there that day weren’t there making it a personalized experience. She also explained to see everything in the Louvre you’d need almost 200 days without a break so we were thankful for her expert guidance and knowledge.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for this detailed and informative review! Delighted to read that Blerta offered a seamless and fluid experience through the vast collections! It’s true that she is able to weave together art & history, and adjust the experience to your needs! Thrilled to also learn that she made you forget the crowds…we look forward to welcoming back for another enchanting experience!

A fantastically interesting tour. The small group is a great way to get detailed information on the subjects. Our Tour guide, Blerta was passionate, welcoming and humorous. and has a great knowledge of The Louvre which is handy for when you go off on your own afterwards.

Spilling the secrets of the Louvre is what we do best, and we’re so happy Blerta made it a highlight of your trip! There’s nothing quite like a small group to make a massive museum feel personal. We hope the 'handy' tips she shared helped you navigate the wings like a pro afterward. Safe travels!

Awesome guided tour. Despite me and my significant other not having much time to explore the louvre and get familiarized with it, Blerta was super helpful and considerate. She guided us to see exactly what we were there for before we had to leave, as well as so much awesome context of everything.

Belinda_N, Jul 2025
Hands down .. Blerta exceeded our expectations of the Louvre tour. We were super lucky and had her to just the three of us. Honestly recommend paying the extra to have 5 or less people for the even better experience. To say Blerta knew her history, knowledge of art and how to handle the enormous summer crowds is an understatement. She far surpassed anything I thought we were getting. WHEN I return again, I absolutely have to have Blerta as my guide. Recommend over and over again.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much for this incredible review! We are thrilled that Blerta exceeded your expectations. You made a great point—having a small, intimate group truly allows for a deeper connection with the art and a much more relaxed pace. We’re so glad Blerta’s ability to navigate the summer crowds made the Louvre feel accessible rather than overwhelming. We’ve already marked your 'future return' in our hearts—Blerta will be so happy to welcome you back again!
Kerri_A, Jun 2025
Our guide was amazing, Blerta is so kind and made sure to include everyone and kept us all engaged. She is very knowledgeable of the Louvre and there is no way we could have seen and learned as much as we did. Thank you Blerta for your for you kindness, we will be back to see and learn more from you!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that Blerta made everyone in your group feel included and engaged. Creating that personal connection is just as important to us as sharing the history of the art. You're absolutely right—the Louvre is so vast that having a guide is the best way to truly 'see' it! We are already looking forward to your next visit so we can explore even more together!
Jennifer_S, May 2025
Blerta was amazing!! She was incredibly knowledgeable about art! She also has a great personality that meshed really well with my son and I. After the main pieces at The Louvre, she tailored our tour to our art preferences. With all the people there, she easily navigated us though! Great time!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We sincerely appreciate your feedback! One of the best parts of a private tour is the ability to tailor the experience to your specific interests, and we’re thrilled Blerta was able to do that for you and your son. Navigating the Louvre crowds is truly an art in itself, and we're glad Blerta made the journey seamless for you. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to see you again for another art adventure!
Maria_S, Apr 2025
Blerta was a wonderful guide! She customized the tour to our interests while making sure we saw the highlights, and interacted delightfully with my 10 year old daughter who loves art and history. It was a highlight of our trip to Paris! Thank you Blerta!
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We are so happy to hear that your tour with Blerta was a highlight of your Paris trip. Blerta absolutely loves sharing her passion with young art enthusiasts, and it sounds like your daughter was the perfect companion for the day! We truly believe that customizing our tours to fit a family's interests is what makes the experience special. We'll be sure to pass your thanks along to Blerta!
David_B, Apr 2025
The Louvre tour with Blerta was top notch from start to finish. She was prompt, navigated the lines quickly during a very busy time, (Easter) and had a great rapport with the kids. A good sense of humor topped it off. It was very personal, unlike other guided tours that are larger, this one is a maximum of 6 people, so there is time to ask all of your questions.
If you are looking to learn a lot, very quickly, this tour is the way to go. We would have not known where to go or many of the historical aspects of the art on display navigating the Louvre on our own. It was worth every dollar spent. Thank you, Blerta.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
Thank you so much for this incredible review! We are thrilled that your Louvre tour was 'top notch' from start to finish. Navigating during the Easter holiday can be quite a challenge, but we’re so glad Blerta’s expertise helped your family breeze through the lines. We truly believe our 6-person maximum is what makes the experience special—it allows for that personal rapport and the space to ask every question. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to Blerta; she’ll be so happy to hear the kids had a great time too. We hope to see your family on another adventure soon!
hayley_g, Apr 2024
Blerta was a fantastic tour guide. I was just telling my friends, it’s the first time but my husband and I and our kids (10,13,15) have really enjoyed a museum. She told us so many incredible facts and information, no idea how she remembers it all. I would highly recommend Blerta and I’d love to come again and have her! She really was worth every penny.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you for such a heartwarming review! It’s fantastic to hear that Blerta’s enthusiasm and depth of knowledge made the Louvre come alive for your whole family—even the kids. We’re honored she made your visit worth every penny, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back for another unforgettable tour!
Kyle_S, Mar 2024

Response from Host, May 2025
