Marcel was full of history and they ‘why’ of certain pieces in the museum. This helped appreciate those historical pieces so much more. It was an educational amazing experience.
Dunja was an amazing guide! Her knowledge of the museum and art was outstanding. She checked with the group to learn what we wanted to see and found ways to get us through the crowds. She was friendly, concerned about the group and it was truly a pleasure to have her as my guide. An outstanding experience thanks to Dunja!
Severine was a fantastic guide! Extremely knowledgeable, very engaging and charismatic. She put a lot of joie-de-vivre into our tour!
Amazing and knowledgeable guide as we navigating the massive museum and all of it's treasures. We started right outside and we were in the Louvre in no time. We did get our steps in because of our guides ability to let us see as much as we can. Thank you for allowing us to accompany you.
Our tour of the Louvre was extremely enlightening. We booked the small group premium guided tour through Viator. Our tour guide Manu was prompt and exhibited great knowledge of the museum and the art that it contained. He was a master at working through the crowds and made certain that we saw the highlights of the museum. He was also happy to answer questions and was very helpful and patient with us older clients. I know for certain that I would not have received near the knowledge had we taken a large group tour or went on our own.
Christophe taught us an incredible amount in 2hrs! We’ll be back!
This was the perfect way to visit the Louvre. Our guide, Emily, was great. She took care of us, showed us great hidden parts of the museum, and helped us avoid some of the crowd! Thanjbyiu!
Our guide, Manu, was enthusiastic, interesting, full of historical facts, and most of all, kind and considerate of our particular needs and wishes. A great way to experience the museum when the crowds are unbearable. Thanks Manu.
Marcel was an exceptional tour guide. There were the max 6in our group which kept it quaint and allowed for interactions. Marcel is admirably passionate about history of art and artists. Very knowledgeable.
I really enjoyed my tour very much at the Louvre with Francois. He delivered consistently in a fun, engaging and impactful manner throughout. His sharing is easy to follow too from start to finish. I would recommend anyone going to the Louvre for the 1st time to join this tour to get the most out of the highlights in that museum.
