Natalia was an excellent guide.Shr knew so much of the history in telling about the art that we were looking at.She had interesting and fun facts as well went along with.There was a lot of information to digest. I really enjoyed the art and tour.
Bit of a hiccup at start point but the staff were very helpful. The guide was very informative and explained the art work in detail.
Our visit to the Louvre was absolutely incredible! Seeing the Mona Lisa in person was such a surreal experience and the museum itself is breathtaking. A huge thank you to Michelle, our tour guide, who made the entire experience so enjoyable, informative, and seamless. She was warm, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about the art and history. Even running on no sleep after a red-eye flight, this was one of the highlights of our Paris trip. Highly recommend both the Louvre and Michelle as a guide! 🇫🇷✨ :
Good meeting point! Lots of time to take pictures, little stories behind each panting or sculpture. Took about 3 hours was just enough time!
The guide Claudia was very personable and knowledgeable. .She was very detail and made the tour enjoyable with her interaction with the group.
Sev was FANTASTIC! Very personal, informative and fun experience! Highly recommend her as your tour guide!
Disappointed with so little time in the actual museum. Guide was great but so much time spent in entrance, security, and history and so little in the important details of the museum, like the sculptures and paintings. Also after walking for 2 and 1/2 hours the wine tasting was (15 minutes) away but in actuality it was a 35 minute walk and that was way too long to walk after the tour. Good experience but you must be very youthful to do this
Our guide, Addi, was fantastic!! We were able to see all the top works of art. Addi had a strong historical knowledge of the pieces she shared with us, which made the experience extra special.
My wife and I would highly recommend this tour. It was exceptionally well organized with a knowledgeable, professional and personable guide. Thanks so much for making our first visit to the Louvre most memorable!
Laurent is very passionate about his city and we were very lucky he was our guide. I hope he sees this review and knows that his love for art and the museum was very appreciated.
