The Louvre is massive so having Daniel break it down and show us the highlights was great. We only had 6 in our group which also was a plus. Daniel is a wealth of knowledge and very personable and friendly. Would highly recommend him and this tour!
Catherine_V, May 2026
Too much time in the basement. Your guide did not read the room. Everyone wanted to see more art and less history of the museum building itself.
William_K, May 2026
Our guide stayed in touch prior to the meet up and got us through the security process quickly. She was very knowledgeable about all the exhibits and history.
Jeff_Y, May 2026

Susan_E, Apr 2026
Very knowledgeable guide, many informative and interesting stories. Great knowledge of art in general.
Kristi_G, Apr 2026
We had a great experience on the Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour. With only six guests, the semi-private format was ideal and made the tour feel much more personal and easy to follow. Our guide, Florent, was extremely knowledgeable and very informative, and we learned so much while seeing the museum's highlights.
It was especially nice to have a guide leading us through the artwork so we could use our time effectively and not feel overwhelmed by the size of the Louvre. Florent helped bring the pieces to life with his explanations and made the visit much more meaningful. The 2.5-hour tour was the perfect length—long enough to see the major highlights without feeling rushed or exhausted. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a great introduction to the Louvre.
Donna_C, Apr 2026
Our guide, Francois, was very knowledgeable. His personality and humor made the tour even more enjoyable. We very much appreciated that he rented a locker for our jackets as well. Highly recommend!

Our guide, Ivana that we had for the Louvre tour was amazing and would strongly recommend using her for your tour.
Anita_M, Apr 2026
Christophe gave an exceptional overview of everything we saw as well as a great overview of the history of the Louvre. He appears to have a superpower in finding the very best spot to view the artwork even in a very crowded museum.
Caroline_K, Mar 2026
Christophe gave an outstanding tour of the Louvre. He wove the historical context into the description of the art work, bringing the pieces to life. He also gave us a great recommendation to spend time in the Egyptian rooms afterwards, which was one of our favorite parts of the museum.
Jessica_B, Mar 2026

Christine_A, Mar 2026
Fantastic experience. Perfect level of detail for first time Paris trip. Hit highlights then able to go on my own for the rest of the museum. Great guide.
Eric_L, Mar 2026
Having Emily as our guide in exploring this meseum was very enjoyable and full of information about the various artifacts and paintings. Emily was very knowledgeable and had fun facts that she shared to the group. She also made sure that everyone in the group had time to rest and ask questions about the various artifacts and artists featured in the museum. It's such a huge place to explore in your own. Having a professional guide like Emily makes it easy and you can cover the highlights of the museum.
Robert_P, Mar 2026
Our Guide Christina was both knowledgeable and enthusiastic making our visit very enjoyable as we covered a lot of ground … especially the Mona Lisa! Thank you for an enlightening journey through centuries of Art!!
Olga_N, Feb 2026
Dina was very good. She used mini radios with headphones to ensure we could hear her well in the crowd. Be prepared to walk quite a bit and deal with stairs, as there are no elevators in the tour pathway. We used a group locker to leave our coats.
Dawn_M, Feb 2026
The best way to see the highlights of the Louve and appreciate the art and the artists. Our tour guide Ivana was very knowledgeable and kept everyone engaged. Highly recommend.
Julia_M, Jan 2026

Zdravko, a master of the fine arts, gave us a well-rounded tour of the Louvre, catering every aspect to our family’s experience in art. A memorable tour that we thoroughly enjoyed.
Collin_H, Jan 2026
William was a phenomenal guide. He had a lot of history to the building and then the major art works. He was very engaging. One of the best guides we’ve had to date. Make sure to stay and check out the other areas and Napoleon III’s royal apartments.
Gerald_G, Dec 2025
Ana was amazing. She catered the tour to our small group. We were impressed with her knowledge. I would highly recommend her.
Laura_W, Dec 2025
Dina did a fantastic job guiding us through the Louvre during the busy holiday season. She kept it interesting for the 9 and 13 year old kids and still informative for the adults. Highly recommend!
tanya_w, Nov 2025
Jennifer was amazing! Incredibly knowledgeable, but didn’t get too far into the weeds with that knowledge, she told interesting stories, had answers to any question, and kept us moving. We covered a LOT in a short period, she was just lovely!
SHARON_A, Nov 2025
We really enjoyed our semi-private tour of the Louvre. Our guide Manu really knew his stuff. I’m sure we would not have gotten as much out of our visit if it wasn’t for him explaining things to us.
Sarah_P, Nov 2025
Our tour guide, Anatole, was fantastic. He was knowledgeable, funny, and very accommodating. I felt that we were able to see many of the Louvre highlights in 2.5 hours. Most importantly, our kids (15 and 12) stayed engaged and learned a lot.
