Perfect introduction to a completely overwhelming museum. The Friday late afternoon/evening timing seems to be perfect - some crowds, but nothing that was too much, even in the Mona Lisa room. And our guide Nancy B. was absolute delight. She even inspired my 15-yo daughter to want to stick around after the ~2.5 hr guided tour ended until the Louvre closed, to explore more.

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.

Terrific tour of the highlights

Sameer_R, Aug 2026
Terrific way to see the highlights at the Louvre without being overwhelmed. Our tour guide Monika was super knowledgeable and very efficient. Highly recommend.

10/10 would recommend

Courtney_O, Aug 2026
Pierre was fantastic. He offered helpful insight throughout the entire tour. Also made sure we knew where stops and rest stops were.

Exceptional

Seema_R, Aug 2026
Our guide at the Louvre was excellent. I’m sorry I’ve forgotten her name, but she was incredibly knowledgeable and explained everything clearly and patiently throughout the visit. This was a small group tour of just six people, which made the whole experience feel highly personalized — she had time to really engage with each of us and answer every question in depth. She went into wonderful detail about every painting we saw, sharing context and stories that brought each piece to life rather than just rushing past. We honestly didn’t expect visiting the Louvre to be as enjoyable and engaging as it was, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. Highly recommend requesting her if possible, especially for a small-group tour like this one.

FL family at the Louvre

Frieda_T, Aug 2026
Wonderful experience. Our guide Fabien LB was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. He made the Louvre come alive with history, facts and unique conversations.

Wonderful

Jamie_W, Aug 2026
Fabian was an amazing guide. He showed us the highlights and included interesting history. Also gave great directions on how to navigate the rest of the museum. Would book again!

Do this !!

griselda_R, Aug 2026
Great way to see the masterpieces. Marcel was excellent! So smart and helped us really see and understand the art in a beautiful way. If we had more time had suggestions on what to see next. After the tour ticket is good if you want to spend more time. What a treat.

anais was excellent!! she really took her time and taught us a lot about the art we were seeing. would recommend!

Knowledgeable and accommodating

Joanna_W, Aug 2026
Our guided tour of the Louvre was one of the highlights of our time in Paris! The museum is absolutely incredible and can be overwhelming because there is so much to see, so having a guide made a huge difference. We were able to see the major masterpieces, including the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Winged Victory, and so many beautiful sculptures, paintings, and historic rooms. Our guide helped bring the artwork and history to life and made it much easier to navigate such a massive museum. I especially appreciated learning the stories behind what we were seeing instead of simply walking from room to room.

The best part of our trip to Paris

Jigesh_S, Aug 2026
If I could rate this 10 stars I would. This ended up being the best part of our trip. Our girls who are age 10 are not into art and were not excited about spending a few hours at the Louvre, however, our guide was so superb that they did not want to leave and end the tour. Our guide was Paloma, she made the tour phenomenal. She made it fun and really easy to learn and interesting, even including kids and older adults. Would 100% recommend this if you’re going to the museum with a family

Excellent!!!

Carlos_M, Aug 2026
Excellent service. They were knowledgeable about all the museum's most important artworks; I recommend them 100%.

Ana_O, Aug 2026
We had the best tour guide, Sunday, who gave us a lot of great interesting facts and helped us navigate through, despite the large crowds. Getting a small group tour is the way to go!

Amazing Tour and Guide!

Debbie_A, Aug 2026
Josef was an amazing guide! Our semi-private tour consisted of two families and six people in total. Josef’s deep love of art and history was apparent and infectious! He asked us which areas of history we wanted to focus on the most, and began the tour from there. We ended at the Monna Lisa. As we were the final tour of the day, we actually ran over our time and just enjoyed each other’s company while looking at great art. I cannot recommend this tour, and Josef in particular, highly enough!

Gracias!

Jorge_G, Aug 2026
Cristiana was awesome. She booked the tour in Spanish and there were only 2 spots left, so we got lucky. She was very knowledgeable, super nice, great energy and answered all the questions that we had. I liked that she went through the actually history of the louvre and even though I had gone before, I learnt a lot with her. Sure was also very excited about all the little details and she was able to include everyone in our group. Gracias Cristina, la pasamos super bien y espero que tengas unas excelentes vacaciones!

Short walk to bus. ...

Garth_S, Aug 2026
Short walk to bus. Comfortable bus ride to Versailes with guide giving info during the drive. You meet up with a tour guide once you arrive at Versailles. And then you bypass the main line and are able to get right into the palace. Well organized and smooth.

Dina was great and we...

Nikolee_T, Aug 2026
Dina was great and we appreciated the commentary about a few important things. The pace was good and her insights clear. Good way to navigate the Louve.

Severine The 2.5 hour tour of six

Rebecca_E, Aug 2026
Severine of Babylon tours was an excellent guide, extremely detailed knowledgeable and theatrical in her presentation. She knew the answers to all questions. She engaged the group very well and I would call her an A+++ tour guide. She is obviously a real pro. Very much it was a high point or stay in Paris.

Wonderful tour

Mindy_M, Aug 2026
Josef our guide was amazing. So knowledgeable and made everything interesting. We loved our tour and our guide.

Amazing tour!

David_M, Aug 2026
Berlin did a fantastic job showing us all the highlights of the Louvre in a few short hours. He customer the your to exactly what we wanted. I would not go back there without him!

Worth it!

Michele_s, Aug 2026
Tour guide is so knowledgeable and you learn so much. Of course you see incredible artwork it's a very memorable experience. The only thing I would suggest is that the company provide a microphone for the tour guide and headset for the yes because sometimes it is hard to hear in the crowded museum. Belen is awesome!

Great Tour for All - Even Kids

Brian_B, Aug 2026
Great experience with Julien. His energy and knowledge were amazing and created an insider’s look that helped us navigate an overwhelming amount of history and art. I would take this tour again and would recommend it to anyone looking to see the highlights and even some of the obscure at the Louvre!

Excellent Tour with Christophe

Tiffany_H, Jul 2026
I booked this tour with my daughter and we loved it! Our guide, Christophe, was knowledgeable, friendly and easy to understand. It was busy at the Louvre and he was able to direct us to areas to view the piece and be out of the way. His knowledge of the history and the art was impressive! He kept our group engaged the entire time which is saying something as the age ranges were 10 years old to about 65.

It was a wonderful...

David_S, Jul 2026
It was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide, Alban R was delightful. He was so knowledgeable of the artwork and the building. It was like a Master Class.

I don’t recommend

mohammad_H, Jul 2026
I had a very disappointing experience with this tour company. I arrived at the meeting point just three minutes late, but the tour had already left without me. I understand that schedules are important, but I expected at least a brief attempt to contact me or offer a reasonable solution. I paid €420 for this tour and received nothing in return. There was no flexibility, refund, or alternative arrangement, which was extremely frustrating and disappointing. For the price I paid, I expected much better customer service and a more reasonable approach. Unfortunately, my experience left me feeling like my money was wasted. I would not recommend this company based on how this situation was handled.

Paloma P was terrific

Pat_W, Jul 2026
Wonderful experience. Paloma was a knowledgeable and engaging guide. Top notch experience for us with a thoughtful guide.

Check out what Mona Lisa is looking at

Paul_D, Jul 2026
Educational, appropriate pace, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend having a guide for the tour as that way you see the things you want. Fabian was a fantastic guide.

Learned some art history at the Louvre

Brenda_P, Jul 2026
We were happier about the first tour we booked - 10:30 AM and presumably therefore less hot, and 100 euros less than the 2:30 PM replacement tour we had to book at the last minute. However, none of that was Isadora’s fault, and she was 100% fabulous. Very engaging and enthusiastic, obviously loves being a tour guide, shared lots of art history and political context which added interest and meaning to our tour, shared many interesting pictures, facts and sidebars via her tablet, and handled relevant questions and less relevant side conversations with an easy grace. We truly enjoyed our time with her. We also really enjoyed the small group format (6 members of the group, plus Isadora). It was easier to hear, it was easier to move around in the rather crowded Louvre Museum, and we all developed a quick and easy comradarie. All in all a good time, we would do it again (but maybe in the spring or fall!).

Wonderful Louvre Tour

Katherine_H, Jul 2026
Juan R. was so wonderful for our tour of the Louvre! I knew the museum could be overwhelming and booked a tour of the masterpieces. Juan, with his excellent Art History background, answered all of our questions about the artwork, the history of the Louvre, even it's not so great history of acquisitions. We walked 3 miles; Juan was very aware of how fatiguing the tour could be and checked in often, even with a middle schooler joining us. I'll be back and September and will be sure to book for another tour.

Perfect small group tour.

Wendy_D, Jul 2026
Anais was a fantastic tour guide. And the six person max made the very crowded Louvre very manageable. It was our daughter's first visit and this was the perfect way for them to see the highlights. Good communication before and the meet up was easy. Highly recommend.

Our guide was very...

Joanne_H, Jul 2026
Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I liked that it was a small group. She didn't overwhelm us with too much information, but informed us with important and interesting things only.

It was a great experience...

It was a great experience with Manuel as our tour guide! Professional with reliable knowledge about all the sections!
