Clint_S

Michael_N

This was a good tour of the Lourve highlights. Doing it at night was supposed to eliminate crowds. i do not know what days are like but it was still crowded. guide was very knowledgeable and explained famous paintings.

DrRavi_C

We've visited the Louvre before and wanted a different experience. Our guide Olga certainly fulfilled our expectations. Obviously passionate about the Louvre and art in general, she provided us with some gems and insight into some of the artwork and the building - which in itself was very interesting. We were a party of 5 and given that the Louvre was crowded and noisy, an audio guide system may have elevated our overall experience.

Omar_O

The guide we used was amazing! He was very knowledgeable and professional. We arrived late however he started in contact with us and waited until we arrived.

Maria_B

Gilles made it a most delightful experience for us. He spoke English very well, taught us so much (so many things about art and artists that you won’t learn in books or on the internet) and was very pleasant and humourous. He would have been our choice for all private tours, had we known. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Stephanie_G

Excellent and informative private tour. The Louvre holds such an immense collection that it can be overwhelming to tour. Claudia gave us an amazing experience that we will never forget.

Merri_G
