My tour guide was punctual and incredibly knowledgeable—it often felt like I was taking part in a history lesson with a friend. He was warm, engaging, and appropriately funny, which made the experience enjoyable and comfortable. This was my first time booking a private guide as a solo traveler, and it was absolutely worth it. I highly recommend this company and especially this guide (sorry I forgot his name).

Boraz was wonderful. He navigated the museum swiftly and attended to our interests, etc. We were able to see all the highlights of the museum and he gave us tips along the way beside the art history/landmark overview.

Our guide, whose name was Boris was fantastic. He had tremendous knowledge of the entire museum and all the different kinds of exhibits that were there. Personally, I can’t see how you could successfully navigate the Louvre without someone like this and their experience. It’s a massive place that you could easily spend days at and if you only have a few hours or a day, having the experience of someone like Boris will change the way you look at the art. Don’t let the price intimidate you. Save your money somewhere else and spend it on this. It’s worthwhile.

By far, this private guided tour was one of the best decisions we made to see the major sites during our trip to Paris.
The Louvre is huge, with miles of galleries, walks, exhibits and displays. The lines to enter are long, even with pre-purchased times-access tickets - you and every other of the other 2000 visitors for your time slot will be entering at the same time, along with those waiting to see if they can buy tickets.
The doubly-effective solution is this private, guided tour with professional guide Boris. Boris met us at the entrance, and within minutes using his “guide magic,” we were inside the Louvre, with Boris leading us to the art and antiquities based on briefly interviewing us on what we hoped to see.
Boris spent two hours with us, guiding us through the halls and exhibitions, and getting us oriented. We are able to continue after the formal tour on our own having been given his deep guidance as to how to get around the museum.
If you value your time and would like to maximize your visit, book this tour!! You will not be disappointed.

It was a great tour that passed all the lines and really break down the concepts and purposes of the musuem as well as all the amazing pieces of artwork we could see and the guide provided additional context that makes you understand it on deeper levels.

Tina was a wonderful guide. She was early to the meeting point and easy to find. Her knowledge and passion about art and history was inspiring.
She did tailor the tour to our interests, which was perfect. We got to see everything wanted to see, and then some.
I highly recommend the tour and Tina!

Excellent guide very knowledgeable and worth your time. We recommend to touring beyond the tour as there is so much to see
Nancy_N, Sep 2024
Our guide was excellent, well informed and able to show us the highlights of this immense museum. If we had tried to do this on our own, we would have been lost
Steve_A, Sep 2024
We had an amazing tour of the Louvre with Mila. She was very knowledgeable and made our visit a memorable one.
AnneMarie_A, Aug 2024
Amy was amazing as a tour guide! We learned so much from her. She even went out of her way to look up new information for us.
Christopher_M, Jul 2024
Overall we enjoyed the tour but could have used more art history / background on the art and artists than what was provided.
Jim_P, Jul 2023
Despite many options for a private tour of the Louvre we are extremely pleased with our decision. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, very intelligent and had a vast understanding of the museum itself as well as accommodated our interest in what we should see. We highly recommend Boris, and assure anyone that they will not be disappointed. We will book him again on one our next trips.
Samantha_S, Jul 2023
Bought this tour for my dad and he had a great time! Said his guide was super knowledgeable and very interesting.
Regina_M, Jul 2023
We were thrilled to be shown the louvre by Mila - her knowledge was excellent. She showed us an overview and highlights. Also gave history about the areas around the louvre
Patrick_O, Jun 2023
Our guide was knowledgeable and navigated the crowded museum with precision so that we crammed in a lot in our few hours. Part from the highlights like Mona Lisa we saw the original moat around the original fort.
FR_R, Jun 2023
Boris our tour guide was amazing!!! Very knowledgeable and great with our two teenage kids. Highly recommended!!!!
jmkirby1, Jun 2023
Tour guide very knowledgeable and obviously loves art. Great stories/ background on each piece of art she described.
Jennifer_F, Jun 2023
We learned so much more about the history and art of the Louvre than if we had wondered around by ourselves. Anne made the tour interesting and tailored it to our interests. We highly recommend it!
Daya_P, May 2023
Our tour was fantastic. I definitely recommend the skip the line tour as it saves you a lot of time. Our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable. She took us to all of the major attractions within the museum and also to the ones no one seems to really know about as well. Would highly recommend this tour.
John_C, May 2023
What a great experience….Great tour with a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the history and English speaking which was a huge plus.
Richard_S, May 2023
Great tour, fantastic and friendly guide and overall well worth it. Our guide was tremendously knowledgeable and made the tour through the museum much more meaningful. It's easy to find the biggest or most famous pieces but there is a lot of other amazing work in the Louvre that we would have missed without her.
Erica_B, Apr 2023
Good easy way to see everything important but wish our guide’s English was a little better but she was super nice and tried hard to please
jasonkeithwood, Oct 2022
This was a great way to experience the Louvre! Our guide Steph was knowledgeable, funny and engaging. Touring the Louvre on our own would have been overwhelming - we really enjoyed having a guide show us highlights and give us a crash course through this part of Art History.
Kristina_C, Sep 2022
Boris was an extremely knowledgeable person. The tour was not only informative but tremendously thought provoking. I don’t think I’ll ever look at white marble statuary the same.
Paul_P, Sep 2022
Boris helped put life into the historical objects we saw at the louvre. Thee museum is overwhelming without a guide. Excellent experience!
Nancy_R, Jul 2022
Incredible having an art historian framing what we were seeing in historical and artistic context. Would not have gotten as much out of Louvre visit without our knowledgeable guide, Boris. So large would have missed or been unable to find works wanted to see. Fantastic and more than worth price for private guide.
Ulf_H, Jun 2022
Adi was a knowledgeable and enjoyable guide. She provided a truly unique experience tailored to our needs and wants.
charles_j, Jun 2022

Focused and efficient. She was so very knowledgeable!
