We had a wonderful tour of the Louvre with Hamish! He expertly navigated the museum with a (Louvre-provided) wheelchair, and he gave such interesting information and context. He curated an excellent selection of works of art to highlight and answered all of our questions thoughtfully. It was a real highlight of our time in Paris! Thank you, Hamish! The tour company was very communicative while organizing and setting up the details.
Nicolas did an amazing job showing us through the Louvre and catered the tour to our interests. Without him we’d be overwhelmed. He was gracious, knowledgeable and passionate.
Very helpful and knowledgeable. Super friendly and kind! Would highly recommend booking with him.
Great tour. Monty, our tour guide, was excellent. Highly recommend.
We adored Monty! He was so knowledgeable about history and art. I highly recommend booking a tour with him!
Nicolas was a great tour guide! He did his best to keep our little kids entertained while touring the Lourve, but also helped cover the history behind many art pieces. He was very patient with us and even took the time to take some photos of us. While it was expensive, a private experience was 100x better than what we saw the other tourists in large groups doing.
Monty was great! Very informative! It saved us time and we got the history behind the art. Definitely recommend!
Monty was a great tour guide. He was able to show us in 2 hrs many items and several areas of the Louvre with stories behind the pictures. I have 3 teenagers.
Thank you so much for the kind words and the 4 stars! We're delighted that Monty made your Louvre visit memorable — bringing the stories behind the masterpieces to life is exactly what we aim for, and doing it in a way that kept three teenagers engaged for two hours is no small feat. We'll be sure to pass your praise along to him. If there's anything we could have done to make the experience a full 5 stars, we'd genuinely love to hear it — your feedback helps us keep improving. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Paris before long! Warm regards, Clara from the Dayin team
Best Tour we’ve ever been on. Our tour guide, John, was knowledgeable, enthusiastic, interesting, and entertaining. We had listed a number of objects that we wanted to see, and John had looked at the list and led us to all that were currently on display. He gave us historical context and things to look for in each object. As we walked through the various rooms, he made sure that we were not delayed by large groups or crowds. We were all incredibly impressed with his vast knowledge of the Louvre and its objects. Thoroughly enjoyed his sharing of knowledge and his enthusiasm for each object and why each item was important. He answered all our questions and when he did not have a thorough enough knowledge to answer he told us so. I believe that only happened once on our tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. John is truly a master craftsman. His guidance through this vast expanse of rooms and art was amazing.
We did many Viator tours over our travels and this one was one of our favorites. Our guide was fantastic. We asked for a general overview for our 2 hours and we learned a lot but it was also not overload. Great experience.
