This tour covers the highlights of the Louvre beautifully and efficiently. Highly recommended. I need more characters to post, here they are.

WOW! So glad we booked this private tour of the Lourve with Nafiseh. She has a Master’s in art history and really made the tour memorable. As we had a private tour and it was just the 3 of us it was easier to maneuver in and out/around the art in a timely manner. Her knowledge of both history and art made this tour one of the best tours we have taken. The higher price was totally worth the experience. She was also so kind as to walk us to a Metro station to get a pass. We would highly recommend this private tour and Nafiseh as a guide. Merci!

To look at a piece art and have expert explain what the artists’ intent was wonderful, gave context to the painting, especially the Mona Lisa

This small group tour was perfect for our group of 6 adults. The Louvre is so large that we would have been overwhelmed trying to navigate it by ourselves. The small group was perfect because we didn’t feel lost in a larger group and could ask questions. Our tour guide Nafiseh was amazing! She is so knowledgeable and was able to help us navigate the large crowds at the Louvre to help us see the highlights. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone!

This is the tour you’re looking for!!! Clara is the BEST! She was informative, animated and made the tour so much fun! I watched all of the other tours around us and was so glad we were not with them. Clara made the museum come to life and never rushed us at any of the exhibits. 10/10 A+++

Clara was knowledgeable and such an amazing energy. As an educator, I truly appreciated her ability to connect history and artistry. Truly a great experience.

This was the perfect tour of the Louvre. We got just enough without being completely overwhelmed by the massive amount of artwork in the Louvre. Also, our guide (and I feel awful for not remembering her name at the moment) was outstanding. She was incredibly knowledgeable, pointed out things that people often overlook, highlighted a lot of the interesting details about artwork that I had no idea about, and talked through the history of everything that we saw and why it was relevant. She was enthusiastic and passionate about what she does, and it came across in our tour.
