We had an amazing tour guide named Omar, highly recommend him !! Our first time at the Louvre and he took our group to see many beautiful pieces in the museum, each with a thorough explanation. We were then able to tour on our own. Highly recommend if it’s your first time visiting, it was less overwhelming.

The tour delivered as explained on the description. Omar was able to organize and show us the biggest name attractions in a very time efficient manner. Using the tour guide and skip the line pass is worth the extra money.

The tour guide Saeed was extremely helpful, clear, knoledgeable and entertaining. The tour focuses on some of the masterpieces or better known works of art, so you should not expect to see everything as it would be impossible to do so. I greatly appreciated the fact that each painting was introduced as part of its historical and social and economic environment and not just in isolation. This way one leaves the tour having learnt something more about the history and the background of the paintings.

The Louvre is a massive museum, so it's not easy to fit all the amazing pieces of art in a 3-hour visit. However, Toma, our lovely guide, made sure that our 3 hours were well worth. She took us around a busy(ish) museum and showed us all the main attractions and landmarks that make this museum one of the most visited in the world. But not just that, Toma was a great story teller and made sure that each piece of art we looked at was followed by a very informative explanation of what was in front of us, but also the motives behind its creation and how it fitted with the social, historical and cultural atmosphere of the time it was created. We highly recommend this tour, particularly if Toma is your guide.

Departure point
The meeting point is not at the entrance of the Louvre. Meet our team at the Arc du Carrousel. This huge arch features a horse-drawn chariot on top. With your back to the entrance of the Louvre Pyramid, you will spot it across the road, just before the entrance to the Tuileries Garden.Return details
