Hugo was an excellent guide! It was pretty crowded at the Louvre, but Hugo made the experience very seamless. I really enjoyed how he presented the various pieces of artwork. He demonstrated much knowledge and engaged with our small group of 5. It was also great that he gave us useful photo tips. He gave us ample time to enjoy the displays.

Outstanding. Great communication prior to the tour and she got us into the Louvre quickly. Our guide asked us what we were most interested in seeing versus just doing the standard stuff. She was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Although it was one of the hottest days in recent Parisian history, she ensured we were ok throughout the tour. We had a very nice time.

More Than a Louvre Tour—An Unforgettable Journey Through Art and Life

Natalia_B, Jun 2026
Our Louvre tour with Hugo was truly unforgettable. I have traveled extensively around the world and experienced many museums, guides, and tours, but Hugo stands out as one of the very best. His knowledge of art, history, and symbolism is extraordinary, but what makes him exceptional is the way he brings every masterpiece to life. He didn’t simply explain the artwork—he told the stories behind it, revealed hidden details we would have never noticed, and helped us understand the deeper meanings and emotions captured by each artist. His passion for art is contagious, and his ability to connect history, culture, and human emotions made every moment engaging. One of the most memorable parts of the tour was when Hugo used a work of art to reflect on life, love, mortality, and the importance of living in the present. His interpretation was so thoughtful and moving that it nearly brought me to tears. It transformed the experience from a museum visit into something deeply personal and meaningful. Hugo has a rare gift for making art accessible, emotional, and unforgettable. If you are visiting the Louvre, I cannot recommend him highly enough. This was not just a tour—it was an experience, and one I would gladly repeat again with him. Thank you, Hugo, for making our visit to the Louvre so special. You turned great works of art into stories and lessons that will stay with us forever. ❤️

Art History Guide and More

Jean_L, Jun 2026
Our small tour of 6 people with Agustine was very informative! We covered as much as we could in the few hours there. What was unexpected was how much I actually learned about art history from Agustine. She is a wonderful teacher (which we don’t often find) as well as guide. She also knew the museum like the back of her hand, skipping the long reroutes, giving us tips on how best to see certain famous art, and taking photos of us. She was also very patient and kind with the children. Great tour!

Truly enjoyed our tour of the Louvre with Sergio

Lori_H, Jun 2026
Our tour with Sergio was excellent. It’s incredible how much knowledge he had about the art that we looked at. He made it come alive for us. He kept us from feeling overwhelmed by all there is at the museum, and focused on pieces of art that he felt were valuable. I appreciated his friendliness, warmth, and knowledge!!

Experienced guide recommended for 1st Louvre visit.

Leonor_C, Jun 2026
The Louvre is even bigger than one imagines. The crowds, noise and so much to see is overwhelming. Dina. Of Babylon tours efficiently guided us through with information that helped to better appreciate not only the Louvre, but also the art pieces in the Italian & French rooms which on their own is A LOT. Saw so much in 2.5 hrs and you can stay after the tour to browse on your own.

Lovely experience

katie_s, Jun 2026
Dina was extremely knowledgeable about all the exhibits. You can tell this is a passion and not just a job.

Fantastic tour!

Maria_G, Jun 2026
We had such a great time with Anatole! 2.5 hours just flew by. He gave us super interesting history, was funny and answered all of our questions. The group was a perfect size of 6, which made it easier to move around, get to the front of paintings and really spend some time with the art. I would book it again with friends if I find myself back in Paris.

Unbelievable Tour

Steven_F, Jun 2026
We had a wonderful tour with Manu! Our Tour guide was Manu We would describe Manu and our tour using these adjectives: Engaging, Enlightening, Humorous. He kept us engaged throughout the entire tour. The Louvre can be overwhelmingly intimidating due to its enormity and to leave having been guided by Manu helped us to truly gain perspective on the art we were viewing! We are very thankful to Babylon Tours for providing us with this opportunity!

A Great Tour By Sylvia of Notre Dame Cathedral

Jill_G, Jun 2026
Sylvia was an amazing guide - extremely knowledgeable and very personable. The tour provided a complete historical understanding of Notre Dame Cathedral.

Great experience

Monica_D, Jun 2026
Very good experience with our guide , Christophe , from Babylon. He showed us the major sights and kept our grandchildren engaged. I can’t imagine trying to navigate on our own. The timing was perfect !

Great Tour! Great Guide!

Lorraine_M, Jun 2026
I’m so glad we booked this tour! Our tour guide Miriam was excellent! She navigated the museum to make the most of our time. She helped us see the highlights and also made sure we saw the things we wanted to see. I highly suggest you book this tour!

Omar was great !!

Michael_K, Jun 2026
Omar was our guide and did an excellent job. This guide was outstanding and was of more value than we paid for the event. Omar brilliantly imparted his vast knowledge of the Louver in an extraordinarily and personal manner to us in order that we could see a small sliver of the treasures. I highly recommend Omar as a guide.

Christophe was an excellent guide.

Michael_R, Jun 2026
Christophe was an excellent guide. He was very informative and. Great resource and navigated the medium extremely well.

Great tour with Belen. Very knowledgeable and friendly, she was able to navigate the crowds in the Louvre easily while still being informative

A knowledgeable guide makes all the difference!

Mary_B, Jun 2026
Christophe was an amazing guide! He wove together his knowledge of art with that of French history to provide a very engaging tour.

Louvre Tour

Jennifer_B, Jun 2026
Tank was great! He offered fun historical lessons with the tour that made it very enjoyable. The Louvre is beautiful.

Inspiring art tour

Maggi_G, Jun 2026
We had deliberately booked the highlights tour as we understood it was very easy to get ‘lost’ in The Louvre. Our guide (Fabian) was excellent. He was very professional, friendly and most of all knowledgable. He gradually walked us through several of the galleries, explaining how art had developed throughout the ages and pointing out important details in the sculptures, and painting, talking through their history etc, that had we been alone we would have missed.

Olysea was wonderful-she...

Melissa_R, Jun 2026
Olysea was wonderful-she provided the perfect amount of information and tailored our tour to our family's interests and energy level.

No better way to visit the Louvre!

Sarah_F, Jun 2026
With the history at the Louvre, you need to book a tour with guide to get the most out of your experience. Our guide, who was SPECTACULAR, brought us around the Louvre in a way that told the story leading to the famous Mona Lisa. Everything made sense all of a sudden. So by the time you get to the Mona Lisa and other paintings/sculptures, it makes sense to someone who does not have a lot of background on the art. Other benefits: prime restrooms, secure locker, you don’t waste time by getting lost.

Our guide Joe had amazing knowledge and made the experience informative and fun. Dress light as Louvre is warm inside !

The perfect Louvre Tour!!!

Troy_S, Jun 2026
We had a wonderful private guided tour of the Louvre, our guide Miriam was excellent! She paced the tour perfectly, we never felt rushed and saw all the highlights as well as parts of the museum we requested to see! Miriam was super knowledgable and we would highly recommend booking this tour as well as requesting Miriam when booking!

Julia_S, Jun 2026
Marcel was a wonderful guide! He was knowledgeable and engaging. We had an amazing visit to the Louvre, despite the summer crowds.

Nancy and small group...

Julie_G, Jun 2026
Nancy was an energetic and friendly tour guide. She built rapport with the 6 guests. The small group is my preference. The headsets help so much in the noisy museum.

Fantastic guide

Mikhail_G, Jun 2026
Wonderful introduction to the Louvre! Agustine navigated us through the crowds while providing an easy to understand, educational, and fun commentary on the selected pieces. We highly recommend her!

Exceptional Louvre Tour With Ivana!

Mark_J, Jun 2026
Fabulous tour with Ivana! We'd have been lost in the museum without her. Super friendly and knowledgeable!

Deanna_G, Jun 2026
My husband and I took the Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour (6 Guests Max, Entry Included) and it was an excellent experience. The Louvre is absolutely massive and there is no way we could have covered as much ground on our own in just two hours. Our guide, Miriam, was knowledgeable, friendly, and did a fantastic job managing our limited time while ensuring we saw many of the museum’s highlights. She kept the tour engaging and informative, sharing fascinating history and insights throughout. The small group size made the experience even better. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Paris.

Do this tour- request Nancy B as your guide

Mathew_T, Jun 2026
I am not a huge art museum fanatic and typically have very little patience when it comes to crowds and learning about pieces of art. Take this tour in the afternoon (still crowded but less than on AM). Nancy B was our guide and she made this one of our favorites. Her knowledge of the artwork is incredible and she knew which highlights to focus on for our short 2.5 hour tour. I highly recommend.
