My fiancée and I had a guided tour with a small group and it was amazing! Anaís was our tour guide and she did phenomenal! Anaís was well informed and knowledgeable when it came to the Louvre, art, and history. She did well to educate us but not bore us. She was very friendly and answered any questions we had. She also took the time to speak with everyone to make the tour feel more intimate. I definitely would recommend a guided experience with Anaís to make the experience at the Louvre top tier!

Wonderful tour of the highlights of the Louvre. Great for an orientation and then you can explore more on your own after the tour

Fantastic tour. Great guide. Our family had a wonderful time. Grateful we saw the Mona Lisa. The tour group had reserved bathroom access which was nice

Anna was a very enthusiastic guide which sometimes made her difficult to understand when she was excited about an object. The analysis of a few paintings was very in depth but we would have preferred to view a wider range of artists.

We deliberately chose this tour because it was focussed on seeing other famous and lesser known pieces in the collection while also making a stop at the Mona Lisa. Karine was a wonderful guide who told a cohesive story as we move from one period of art to another and one country to another and provided history of France and the Louvre palace itself which was much appreciated.

This was a fabulous way to get a great snapshot of the Louvre. Without a guide you would easily walk past many art pieces without knowing their importance. Anaïs, our guide, was well educated in the history of art and was a fabulous story teller. She brought the art to life. I particularly loved her retelling of the love story of Cupid and psyche when we came to their incredible sculpture. She made an effort to get to know people names and was invested in giving us a great experience. I thoroughly recommend this tour. Well worth the money and we skipped the queues which is worth paying for. Tour went for 3 hours. We had a quick look in the mespopotamian section after the tour and felt a little lost without a guide. Definitely confirmed the value of the guided tour.
