Anatole was simply excellent. Engaging, knowledgeable and help us navigate the crowds beautifully. He gave us tips to avoid the giant crowd at the Mona Lisa to get Close.

There's a stock list of places they take you (efficient because you may not know what is considered worthwhile or how to get there), but if you tell the guide you are interested in something specific, they can take you there. Also, you can stay in the museum after to look around on your own. Nancy was a high-energy, knowledgable, and engaging guide.

Wow!!! Sergio was so great!! Very knowledgeable and funny. The museum is beautiful. Without a great guide, we would have had no clue what we were looking at.

Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable
We enjoyed our entire experience. The Louvre is a must see in Paris.

Our semi private tour allowed us to skip the lines. Our guide directed us to all of the highlights without us having to wander on our own trying to locate them. Our guide was very well educated on all the art and gave us fun facts along the way. I can’t wait book my next tour with this company.

My tour with Babylon Tours in Paris was absolutely thrilling! The guide’s passion for the city made every moment fascinating and engaging. I appreciated the thorough exploration of both famous landmarks and hidden gems, which made me feel truly connected to Paris. It was like wandering with a delightful friend rather than just a guide. Huge thanks to Tina Chulo for such an unforgettable experience!
Tim_W, Aug 2026
Great tour with a great guide, Josef! We spent time with some of the oldest (and smallest) pieces in the Louvre. Josef squeezed as much into the time we had as he could. Thanks Josef for the great tour!

An amazing Louvre tour blending fascinating art history, stories, and masterpieces with Augustina!!!

Even though The Louvre is gigantic and one cannot see everything, Sarah showed us some of the most important works. Her knowledge is great and the information that we received was easily understood.
Elizabeth_E, Aug 2026
Extreme crowds and you only see what the guide decides. The guide will get you in more quickly but walks past many amazing art.
Susan_L, Aug 2026
Absolutely do a tour. Joe was not just knowledgeable, he knows the Louvre. We saw everything and got an amazing g history lesson too! I wish we had had 3 hours with him. He was definitely the best tour guide we have had on our France trip so far!! Thank you Joe!!

Christophe was amazing, he spoke clearly and was easy to understand. His knowledge of the history of both the museum and the art was impressive. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed this tour.

This was a wonderful tour at a wonderful museum. The artifacts and art at La lourve is simply breathtaking. The history is immense. It is so much more than the Mona Lisa. We had such a great tour guide in Kotryna. She is simply the best. It was so worthwhile taking the tour with her rather than just exploring on our own. We enjoyed it so much more and my 13 year old daughter learnt so much that she still talked about it days later. Highly recommend. Ask for Kotryna!

Niles was amazing! If you have children, I highly recommend doing this tour. No lines, fast paced, and we got to see everything we wanted!
Diana_P, Jul 2026
Veronica was an excellent tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, personable, and very patient with my family with children (who didn’t feel great in the very crowded museum with minimal air conditioning). I would highly recommend.
Maria_M, Jul 2026
On a very busy day at the Louvre having a small tour and excellent tour guide were really critical to our enjoyment of the experience. We found the tour to be a wonderful experience.
Michael_R, Jul 2026
Miriam was a fantastic tour guide. The small group tour (only 6 people) was amazing. Miriam could very easily guide us to the main attractions but some great attractions away from the crowds. Miriam was extremely knowledgeable and presented the information in a very interesting and informative way. I thoroughly recommend this tour and Miriam as a guide.
MarySusan_T, Jul 2026
Our guide, Amber, was fantastic. We loved the small group and she was great with myself and my husband who walk slowly. She was excellent at explaining the history of the Louvre. And gave great insight on so much of the art work.
Christina_K, Jul 2026
Our Louvre tour with Omar was excellent. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and shared fascinating insights that made the museum much more enjoyable. The tour was well organized and a great way to experience the Louvre. Highly recommended!
Samantha_W, Jul 2026
We loved our tour of the museum. Thyago was our guide and he was incredible. He was very knowledgeable and brought us to all of the “must sees” while providing valuable information. I highly recommend booking this tour.

Joe was a great guide to look through the Louvre It was very interesting and he was very informative and helpful. Spoke very good English
Brian_M, Jun 2026
Lili is a great guide! She knows the Louvre well and can explain the art and its history thoroughly and understandably. The tour got us to several highlights in a couple of hours, so we could continue exploring - the Louvre or Paris - on our own.
Stephen_B, Jun 2026
Our tour of the Louve was extremely enlightening. We booked the small group premium guided tour through Viator. Our tour guide Monu was prompt and exhibited great knowledge of the museum and the art that it contained. He was a master at working through the crowds and made certain that we saw the highlights of the museum. He was also happy to answer questions and was very helpful and patient with us older clients. I know for certain that I would not have received near the knowledge had we taken a large group tour or went on our own.
Blanca_S, Jun 2026
Marcel was full of history and they ‘why’ of certain pieces in the museum. This helped appreciate those historical pieces so much more. It was an educational amazing experience.
Richard_G, Jun 2026
Amazing and knowledgeable guide as we navigating the massive museum and all of it's treasures. We started right outside and we were in the Louvre in no time. We did get our steps in because of our guides ability to let us see as much as we can. Thank you for allowing us to accompany you.
Dale_W, Jun 2026
Incredible experience. The guided tour is the only way to go. It helps narrow the focus on such a massive exhibit and provide the details, story line and history of the art. Tour guide Alban R is very knowledgeable and add a little humor along the way.
Rob_W, Jun 2026
Our tour guide, Ty, was absolutely great!! He gave us many insights that really made it a fabulous experience!!! He was very knowledgeable and educated us along the way. He also maneuvered us thru the crowd and put us into ideal locations for great photos! I would highly recommend this tour!!! 5 Stars!!
Maureen_C, Jun 2026
Christophe made the visit easy! Knowledgeable of the art and history, he was the perfect guide. Very accommodating of his guests. Great way to see the most famous items in the Louve and learn about the building itself.
