Wonderful experience! We enjoyed every minute of our tour, we were able to ask any question and get a detailed answer, and we were able to customize our tour. We will absolutely recommend this tour to all of our friends.

This January we took a mother-daughter trip to Pairs with just myself (mom) and my 17-year-old daughter. We were referred by a friend to Pierre-yves and did a two day excursion with him. We saw Versailles and Montmartre on day 1 and on day 2 a city tour, including the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. Each day he picked us up at our hotel in his private vehicle, and drove us to our locations. Day 1 we had mentioned to him in passing that we had yet to have amazing croissants, so on day two he actually had them waiting for us in the backseat of the car, which was so very sweet and kind. His extensive knowledge of not only world history and events, but also his complex understanding of art and its interplay with politics of the time was beyond comparison. He really was able to put the pieces that we were seeing and the architectural style into perspective with what was going on politically at the time. He was also able to keep everything light and fun for my 17-year-old daughter by showing her interesting places that were popular on the Internet or things that were seen in the Netflix series Emily in Paris. He was more than happy to include unplanned stops during our tour to include places that she saw on Instagram and wanted to visit. We took several of his dining recommendations that were not on our radar and I have to say I was more impressed with the restaurants and the bars that he recommended than anything that I had seen on travel websites or on Pinterest. He was available to us, even after our tour ended for the next couple of days through WhatsApp, to help us with more dining recommendations, and reservations to some champagne tasting bars. Also to note, he does speak perfect “American style “ English as his wife is an American. He has a very fun and flexible guide in addition to his extensive knowledge of Paris, France, world history, art architecture and politics. We will definitely contact him again on our next trip to Paris and plan to use him for excursions to both Champaigne,Normandy , and the Loire valley region in the future.

We spent several days touring Paris with Pierre-Yves and I he helped us maximize our time as we only had a few days to tour. We saw many areas and he managed to hit all the highlights without feeling rushed . He knows his way around, speaks English well, and is a wealth of historical information . I would highly recommend his services and won’t hesitate to use him again in the future !

Pierre-Yves is a gem! He made our experience stress free and VIP. He met us at the Louvre and took us in through a private entrance avoiding all lines. He is patient, kind, extremely knowledgeable and professional. He has a true passion for art history and can explain so many details that we would have missed had he not been guiding us through. We are truly thankful to have connected with Pierre and would highly recommend!

Pierre-Yves created an unforgettable experience at the Lourve. While I've been a few times before, our visit with Paris Guided was entirely different. Pierre-Yves' deep knowledge of French history brought new meaning to the art. It was the first time I didn't feel overwhelmed by the vast collection at the museum. Pierre-Yves knew exactly how to navigate the different exhibits to give us a truly rich experience. Besides his knowledge, Pierre-Yves is the charming French man with perfect English who will make any tour fun and entertaining. He is who you want to help you discover the hidden gems of Paris! I'd do this tour or any of his tours again!

Pierre-Yves is the best! I absolutely recommend Paris Guided to take you not only to the Louvre or Orsay, but to any Paris landmark, church, museum, park or historical area! His knowledge of all that is Paris is amazing. I learned so much history about every place we visited! He can cater any tour for any age and group just to your liking. He will even find the perfect lunch or dinner spot and get you to and from every monument and area in real Parisienne fashion. He is a true gourmet cook and wine connaisseur and and find you the hidden gems that one wouldn’t find in your average guide book. He is worth it! An absolute must for any Paris trip.

Amazing experience touring the vast rooms of the Louvre. Pierre-Yves was exceptional at introducing us to different pieces of art throughout the museum. His knowledge of art immersed us into each piece as did his passion for history in order to place everything we were seeing in historical context, it almost felt as if we were living each moment in history! As a history lover, this tour went beyond my expectations and left me wanting for more. I would definitely contact Pierre-Yves again for future art immersion experiences with him. Highly recommend!!

Our guide, Pierre-yves was excellent. He explained the history of the artist, the period, different artistic methods and gave great insight into the history of the Louvre itself. Loved the tour.

A perfect evening exploring the vast corridors, discovering rare pieces and re-visiting the classics. This private visit w Pierre-Yves was magical. His detailed knowledge in art and French history plus his insider navigation thru the immense galleries unveiled the Louvre in a whole new way. I felt like the museum was ours alone. Pierre-Yves not only shared his rich knowledge and passion for the art, but he created an enchanting evening with his natural charm and creative spontaneity. Highly recommend - for Louvre rookies and experts. Thank you Pierre-Yves!!
