I’ve taken approximately 10 tours of the Louvre in as many years. This was, by far, the best and most informative.
Wow ! This is a wonderful review and it means a lot ! Merci beaucoup for these lines Matthew, and don't hesitate to recommend My Private Paris to your family and friends coming to Paris.
Elliot took us on a guided tour of tour of Louvre and it was seller. Great knowledge of not just the main pieces but we particularly appreciated the Egyptian/Mesopotamian section and his knowledge! Highly recommend him! Great conversations and spoke English without any problems. I expected a high level of service and he delivered. BRAVO!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this review about Elliott, who is indeed a fabulous tour guide ! We would love to see you again in Paris in the future and to help you organise other activities ! See you soon !
Did a private tour of the Notre Dame cathedral and the Louvre with this company. The guide, Sara, is an American living in Paris. She was great! Very knowledgeable and engaging. It was great having hear show us around . Would highly recommend the company and the guide!

Please don’t hesitate to recommend My Private Paris to friends visiting the city, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable tour soon. Warm regards, The My Private Paris Team
I cannot say enough good things about this tour. Our guide, Romain was the best guide we’ve ever had. He had a passion for history and the arts and was able to navigate my family with 4 boys to the highlights of the Louvre and the D’ Orsay and brought the art alive. He made it interesting and engaging and we want to go back again to see more! Without a guide, we never would have gotten this much out of our time at these museums. His knowledge and passion were well worth the time and money!
Bonjour Kerry and thank you so much! Romain is a key player in our team and for exactly the reason you have experienced !! We cannot wait to show you more of Paris next time!!
William took us on a tour of Musée Rodin and the Louvre. In four hours he guided us through the highlights and provided entertaining and informative narration. He has great knowledge of the history of France and art history, and he communicates with the skill of an educator. We appreciated his excellent English and fun personality. We cannot wait to return and see more of Paris and will definitely ask for William to guide us.
Merci beaucoup for your kind words ! We're glad you enjoyed your tour of the Musée Rodin and the Louvre with William, his knowledge and engaging style made the experience unforgettable. We hope to welcome you back to Paris soon !
My family and I did a three-hour private Louvre tour. First of all, I would like to point out that communication with Theo Aroule was seamless. He answered all of my questions and made sure that all of our wishes were granted. On the day of the tour we arrived abut twenty minutes late because we got lost. Our guide Marc was patiently waiting for us and proceeded to start the tour by giving us private access without having to wait in line . Marc provided valuable information and navigated the museum really well. However, he finished the tour fifteen minutes early. By no means were we expecting Marc to add extra time due to our late arrival but we did not appreciate the fact that he deducted time at the end of the tour. If we ever use this company again, we will request a different guide.
Bonjour Angelina, thank you for booking our tour and your very constructive feedback. I am sincerely sorry and understand your frustration. Is there anything we could do for you? I feel like we did not deliver the usually quality of service. Kind regards,
We had a wonderful experience touring the Louvre with Flora. She was great!! We took the evening tour after a long travel day from the US to Paris and were actually more exhausted than we anticipated. She picked up on this immediately and handled the tour perfectly for us. We learned a lot, she was so good and funny which we also appreciated. Thank you Flora!!
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re really glad Flora could make your Louvre tour enjoyable, especially after a long day of travel. we hope to see you again in Paris soon !
Having Elliott give us a private tour of the Louvre with all his art history knowledge was absolutely fantastic! He shared so much knowledge and took us through specific ways that it all came together for a fantastic experience. We got right in, he gave more of a timeline in a coherent way. Then when we got to the d’Orsay it was more like a continuation of the same timeline and made it so much more memorable. He was fantastic!
Bonjour William, thank you very, very much for your super kind words ! Elliott indeed is very passionate guide and a great person. We can only hope to see you exploring more of Paris with us soon !
Alexandre provided an outstanding tour of the Louvre, weaving together the history of French royalty and the museum’s architecture with surprising insights into both famous and lesser-known artworks. His captivating storytelling brought all these elements to life, making our visit an unforgettable experience. Probably the best tour we've been on. Thanks Alex!
Bonjour Glenn and thank you very, very much for your wonderful review ! We are very proud Alex is a core member of our team and you have just explained why !
Lulu was an incredible tour guide - knowledgeable with historical context and information which enhanced our art appreciation, flexible to accommodate our energy level (we were still on US Eastern Time), and very personable. I would highly recommend this tour and Lulu, especially. Her guidance made our first trip to the Louvre both exciting and easy!
Thanks a lot for your amazing review about Lulu ! She is indeed a fabulous tour guide. The Louvre can be overwhelming and having a nice tour guide with you makes the whole difference. A bientôt in Paris !
