Blerta was an amazing tour guide! We did a short tour of the Louvre, and she did a wonderful job educating us on what we saw. Highly recommend, and we will request her in the future if we visit again!
We booked a semi private tour for 6 ppl but wound up alone for a private tour with Blerta! She made everything easy from the meeting point to skipping the lines to enter. She took us on a 2.5 hr tour, hitting the highlights like the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory. She was very friendly and made art very interesting for my husband who doesn't love museums by explaining the history behind what we were seeing as well as pointing out special things about the art itself. We were very entertained and engaged. She will make sure you get a great photo and suggest what else to see after the tour has ended. I wish I had booked her for more sites. This museum is absolutely huge and having an expert guide you through makes it all the more enjoyable rather than wandering aimlessly through. 10/10 recommend.
Definitely recommend, had an awesome time learning about the different pieces of artwork. Much more interesting than going to a museum without a guide. If you have time in Paris, definitely book this.
We had an amazing time at the Louvre with Blerta! We learned so much and had so much fun. She was particularly skilled at keeping my 13 year old son engaged the entire time. Highly recommend.
Our guide Blerta was excellent. As an artist herself having studied art she knew such wonderful details and made our experience touring the Louvre with her very memorable. We love how she knew how to maneuver through such a huge museum and all the crowds. 5 star plus plus
Only 3 members in our group made for efficient navigation through this massive museum. Our guide was expert in taking us to the best locations, sidestepping the crowds, and not missing any of the highlights. She seemed well connected with the museum staff who allowed her some privileges in access and viewing locations not offered to the common tourist.
Blerta was an outstanding tour director. She is very informed, well spoken and has a very warm personality with a good sense of humor. Great tour!
This tour was INCREDIBLE!!!!!! I have been on many tours and this one was the best I’ve ever been on. She wastes no time, takes you to the best parts , and is so knowledgeable. The experience stands out for me because she is passionate about art and it shows through her explanations. I will forever remember this tour. Please please book her for your tours, you will not be disappointed
Blerta, was incredible m; she is super knowledgeable and flexible to discuss the details of the pieces. She is very friendly and excellent English!
Our last minute Louvre visit was exceptional, stress-free and engaging. Our guide (owner of this tour), was passionate , engaging , personable , knowledgeable and understood how to be efficient from the Mona Lisa to wings of victory. Make your life easy , and book her.
