It is an overwhelming museum, certainly a tour just touches the surface but the way Iliana took us through a historical overview was amazing. She touched on all the history and highlights. The lines were incredible if you were just buying tickets on your own. It was cold and she was right on time and got us in very quickly. There is so much more than the Mona Lisa. It really was fantastic!!!!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Elizabeth,
Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! It truly means a lot to hear that you enjoyed the tour.
You’re absolutely right—the museum can feel overwhelming, and I’m so glad I could help make it more approachable by guiding you through its history and highlights. It was a pleasure sharing not just the famous works like the Mona Lisa, but also the many other treasures that make the experience so special.
I’m also really happy everything went smoothly despite the crowds and the cold—timing and comfort can make such a difference!
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. It was a joy to have you on the tour, and I hope to welcome you again someday for even more discoveries!
Kindly,
Iuliana

Our tour guide, Uliana, was one of the best private tour guides we have ever had. She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the most important artwork and its historical context. In three hours she showed us the best of the Louvre. We give her our highest recommendation....take this tour!
Response from Host, May 2025
Dear Ann

Wow!!!!! We were so lucky to have Ivan as our Tour Guide for our visit to the Louvre. I was nervous about bringing my 13 year old daughter to the museum as she is not a lover of museums. But Ivan was so engaging, funny and interesting that there was not an eye roll in sight! Our entire experience from start to finish was absolute perfection, we are so grateful to Ivan for making our museum day so magical! This is a must if you are coming to Paris and we were able to see all the “greatest hits” at the Louvre with ease and efficiency, thank you Ivan!
Response from Host, May 2025
Wow—thank you so much for this heartwarming feedback, I am thrilled to hear that Ivan made your visit to the Louvre such a fun and memorable experience, especially for your daughter. He has a true gift for bringing art to life in an engaging and approachable way, and it means so much to know that it resonated with both of you. We’re so grateful for your kind words and hope to welcome you back to Paris for more discoveries soon!
Warm wishes,

Richard_P, Apr 2025
Great tour! Our guide was super knowledgable about the history behind the paintings we saw, albeit slightly to the detriment of the tour itself, in that the first hour or so felt more like a history lesson than a museum tour. On the other hand, through his in-depth knowledge of the artwork, I saw things that I would have never seen on my own.
Response from Host, May 2025
Dear Richard,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! I am truly glad to hear that you appreciated the depth of insight and the new perspectives offered during your visit. I understand that finding the right balance between storytelling and exploration is important, and your feedback is very helpful in that regard. I am always striving to improve, and I am happy the tour still left you with discoveries you might not have made on your own. I hope to welcome you again for another enriching experience in Paris!
Warm regards,
Iuliana

It was very helpful having a tour guide to get quick access to the museum and find our way around. Very nice to avoid the lines and confusion. We were very disappointed that our tour guide was late and we had to contact the company for help and rearrange our day to tour later. The guide was knowledgeable and friendly but we only got a 2.5 hour tour. The tour was not worth the price in my opinion and I wish we had gone with a different arrangement.
Response from Host, May 2025
Dear Emily,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
I'm truly sorry to hear that your tour started off on the wrong foot due to the delay. I completely understand how frustrating that must have been, especially when you're trying to make the most of your time in Paris.
Your guide was sick that moment and finding a last minute solution was quite challenging for me.
Punctuality and organization are things I take very seriously, and I regret that we fell short in this instance.
I'm glad, though, that you found the skip-the-line access and guidance through the museum helpful, and that your guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
I genuinely appreciate your honest feedback—it helps me and my team improve and ensure that future guests have the seamless experience we’re committed to delivering. I hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you again and show you what a tour with us is truly meant to be.
Warm regards,
Iuliana

My mother and I had Paolo for our tour guide through the Louvre. It was the best tour we’ve ever experienced! He was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and brought the art to life. We highly recommend him and the tour.

Nadeera_D, Sep 2024
Luliana was one of the best guides I had on my trip to Paris and the Louvre. She was a walking encylopedia and she is so intelligent, kind and makes learning about art and history in the Louvre so much fun. Her enthusiasm and knowledge were so impressive. Please do not hesitate to book a private tour with her. She spends time with you, and takes you to the most important iconic works of art and history, that you would be clueless on if you wandered around by your self. I am a strong believer in getting a guide for museums because without it you will miss out on so much and get lost and frustrated on figuring out what you want to see and what is the most important on a limited time schedule. It is more than worth spending on a guide like Luliana because she is so well informed, and you will come out of the Louvre being inspired and with new knowledge and excitement for the beautiful culture of France and the Louvre. You also will see the most iconic pieces Louvre has and will use your time with her wisely. I cannot recommend her enough. She is professional, kind, fun and full of knowledge. Each room we went to in the Louvre she brings u to is an adventure. She took us to the most iconic sculptures, paintings, and described the architecture and history of the Louvre (which I would have never known). There are so many stories and secrets surrounds the Louvre and she knows them. She is an amazing historian and knows her history extremely well. I feel so blessed to have had her as a guide. I am going to recommend her to all of my friends, and when I come back to Paris from the USA I hope to have her again as our guide. She is the best of the best, truly.

Dear Nadeera,
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and heartfelt review!
I’m truly honored that you enjoyed our tour through the Louvre and that my passion for art and history could make your experience memorable.
It was a joy to share the museum's stories, secrets, and iconic masterpieces with you. I’m so grateful for your kind words, and it would be a pleasure to guide you and your friends through the Louvre (or any other Parisian treasure!) on your next visit. Thank you again for the wonderful recommendation—I’m looking forward to our next adventure together!

Luliana was a great guide for the Louvre! She approached the tour not as a “rush and see the Mona Lisa” tour, but as a thoughtful walk through the history of the Louvre, and where the main art intersected with that history. Luliana was entertaining, engaging, and knowledgeable. Use her for a great Louvre tour!
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Dear Russ,
Thank you so much for your warm feedback!
I did my best to offer you the more thoughtful approach to exploring the Louvre, and im so happy you enjoyed it.

I hope to share more memorable experiences with you in the future!

I highly recommend Luliana as your private guide through the Louvre. The place is massive and she will educate you on the top masterpieces. We entered around 10:30am. It was very crowded so maybe get an earlier entrance time if you can. I would not navigate this museum by yourself unless you have lots of time. Book Luliana, she’s the best:).
Darlene_D, May 2024
Highly recommend Luliana. She is super knowledgeable of the history of the Louvre.
Very friendly. We enjoyed this tour very much!
Mihaela_T, May 2024
Iuliana is the most knowledgeable and educated in art history and French history. She gave us beyond art the stories and history related facts. She was very kind and helpful with my mom wheelchair arrangements and she was very patient with extreme crowd and all around noise.
We had an exceptional experience and highly recommend her as a tour guide. Thank you, Iuliana!
Christine_M, May 2024
Our guide was brilliant. And we learned the history of the museum as well as the important collections inside. Unfortunately the museum was over run with visitors there simply to take pics of themselves in front of important pieces.
Kathleen_P, Mar 2024
Luliana was a marvelous tour guide!! This private tour was definitely worth it! We learned so much of the history of the museum building as well as the art. Luliana was informative and passionate guide, presenting art history very clearly. It is highlights tour so you will see all main pieces. The Louvre is massive! and this tour and Luliana are so good, will definitely make you want to return for more! We learned a lot with this one on one tour experience.
Lynn_D, Dec 2023
Luliana was the best tour guide we could ask for! She guided us effortlessly through the vast amount of rooms and buildings. She showed us incredibly interesting areas and told us stories of the history of the Louvre often in areas where it was quiet and away from the bustle of crowds. In our 3 hour private tour, she pointed out the most important works of art so we felt our time was not wasted for even a minute. She knew the best areas and angles for photos and...the highlight of the trip......she managed to get us in front of a crowd of hundreds of people to get a photo in front of the Mona Lisa.....PRICELESS!

The Louvre can be very overwhelming so having an experienced guide like Luliana, was the right call. Luliana provided an excellent experience with her chronological tour of the Louvre. We enjoyed the highlights with Luliana’s rich commentary and context. Thanks for the great introduction to the Louvre!

The tour started well with the company offering a pick up from the hotel. We met the guide at the designated place. The guide seems to be very knowledgeable and provided with a lot of information. The only issue was that it was supposed to be a 3 hour trip but cut short to 1hr15 mins with the guide leaving us around that time saying that he has another trip.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Dear Srijib,
I'm sad to read you left disappointed from the Louvre Museum Private tour with my colleague.
I made everything to organise your transfert(not included in this tour fees and paid from my pocket) and Paolo my colleague was waiting for you as it was established.
He reported you were late so he had not unfortunately the possibility to make the tour finish later as well as he had an other service right after the tour with you.
I'm at your entire disposal the next time you come to Paris to do my best and offer you a tour with a discount.

Luliana was fantastic. She made it interesting for us and our kids (boys, 11 and 12). Luliana’s tour was the perfect amount of time with two boys and we learned about not only the art but also the history of the Louvre. I highly recommend Luliana.

Lulianna was an absolutely fantastic tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and took us to and through areas of the Louvre that we would never have discovered ourselves. She explained in detail all the rich history of the museum and the individual works.. We were on a tight schedule so she was very accommodating in condensing the tour down to 2 hours and to see all the major parts and works, although at the end we said we wish we could have stayed longer because she made it all so enjoyable. I would highly recommend her for private tours of the Louvre, but also other areas of Paris and she is extremely knowledgeable about the whole city and its hot spots. Thank you Lulianna, you made our tour very special.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Dear Adam,
I'm so happy I was able to make from your stay in Paris a special moment.
Thank you very much for your precious review.
Next time you come back to Paris I will be more than happy to be your private guide.
