Visiting the Louvre was an unforgettable experience! The museum is breathtaking, filled with incredible art and history. Our tour guide was amazing very knowledgeable and passionate about the artwork, especially when explaining the stories behind masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. I forgot the guide’s name, but they made the visit so engaging and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris!

We really enjoyed our guide .She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject matter. The headsets were a nice addition as the Louvre was very crowded. She made sure we got to see some of the special sculptures and paintings.

This tour is a must! We gained so much from learning about the masterpieces of the Louvre through our guide Sev, who was incredible. She was passionate, very funny, and a joy to be around. The highlight of our trip. Thank you so much! Christina and Jared

Hamish, our guide, was so knowledgeable. We didn’t feel overwhelmed by what we were seeing and learning all about the art pieces you saw in books was amazing. Wonderful tour.

We are glad we availed of this tour instead of trying to explore the Louvre on our own. Our guide Maxim was very well-organized and gave clear instructions to guide the group. He was very knowledgable about French history, the Louvre, and art. He chose several key pieces of art to highlight and explain to the group in an organized yet entertaining manner. Would highly recommend getting this tour when visiting the Louvre.

I was at Louvre Museum at 10:30am and I didn't see the Arc de Triomphe du Carousel which is the smallest of the three arches, horse-drawn chariot and I didn't see it at across the road. I was hoping to see it but I'm sure it's my fault. So, I went to the Muse'e de l'Orangerie. It was very good but I would've enjoyed the fun.
