Ivan was a fantastic tour guide! We were able to see all the significant Louvres highlights in one afternoon!
Always a pleasure to help out and show the best of Paris!
From the moment we booked to the day of our visit, the whole experience was outstanding. Thierry was very attentive and kept in touch with me daily as we faced an unusually busy period where getting tickets was close to impossible. We were very lucky and got our tickets in the end thanks to the amazing Ivan, our lovely guide. Ivan, went above and beyond and was extremely knowledgeable of the museum’s history and art pieces. We highly recommend!
Thank you so much. Happy New Year!
Had a great tour of the Louvre with Thierry. Thierry is terrific - knowledgable and informative. My husband and I had a private tour and aside from giving us a fantastic tour of the art, Thierry was able to navigate the crowds so that we never had to wait in line - even for the restrooms! He covered all the art and gave us background on the Louvre Museum including the history of the buildings. We had such an enjoyable experience and it was one of those tours that really the made the trip for us.
Thank you so much Shelley I still think the best moment was at Café Marly at the end of the tour!
