Pretty so so I certainly would not recommend. We have done 10 tours so far through Italy and France and this was worst
The tour was interesting and fun, the art, the architecture and the history. Our guide, Monty, made it an enjoyable experience, with his knowledge of the artwork, the artists and the history of the Louvre itself. He was very engaging with my wife, happily being interested in the knowledge she had of some of the subjects. I would highly recommend the tour, especially with Monty as the guide.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Monty’s knowledge, enthusiasm, and engaging approach made your Louvre experience so memorable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another adventure in Paris!

We had an exceptional experience touring the Louvre as a family of five, including our baby, and it was entirely thanks to our wonderful guide. From the very beginning, Saeed was thoughtful, organized, and incredibly accommodating of our family’s needs. Navigating the Louvre can feel overwhelming, but Saeed made it seamless and enjoyable. They curated a perfect route that kept all of us engaged—balancing the must-see masterpieces with interesting lesser-known works—while also pacing the tour in a way that was comfortable with a baby in tow. What truly stood out was their ability to bring the art to life. Their storytelling was engaging and accessible for both adults and children, making the experience educational without ever feeling heavy or rushed. They also shared fascinating insights and historical context that we would have completely missed on our own. This was not just a tour—it was a memorable, enriching experience for our whole family. We would highly recommend this guide to anyone visiting the Louvre, especially families traveling with young children.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had such an exceptional experience. Saeed will be especially happy to know his efforts made your visit smooth and memorable. We always strive to create thoughtful and accommodating experiences for families, and it’s wonderful to know we delivered. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure soon!
Very knowledgeable guide, but the guide was very late to the tour. After that, things went smoothly. That is all
NEA TANDINI Was an excellent guide she also accommodated handsomely to my elderly grandmother. 10/10 recommend.

We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again on another tour in the future!
Small and intimate tour of the sprawling Louvre in an informative and accessible way. Saeed curated a tour that gave us a taste and flavor for the museum and helped us maximize time there in an unrushed but very effective way to make the most of our 2 hours. Learned tons and outsmarted the crowds!
Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the small-group experience and that Saeed helped you make the most of your time at the Louvre while navigating the crowds. Hope to welcome you again on another tour soon!
Outstanding tour with Nea Tandini. Her passion for art is infectious and we simply didn’t want the tour to end! She’s the French Mary Poppins!
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're delighted you enjoyed the tour with Nea and love the “French Mary Poppins” description — we’ll be sure to share it with her. Hope to see you again on another adventure in Paris!
