Lili was amazing, she told us so much history and showed all of the best things. She made it enjoyable and funny and it was very worthwhile. 100% recommend!!
Juliette was extremely knowledgeable but not in a way you couldn’t understand. You could that she really understood the art and intricacies of the paintings. She had a wonderful demeanor and even offered extra time to our group.
Nea was the perfect tour guide!
I was somewhat disappointed with the tour guide. The audio device provided to help visitors hear the guide more clearly was not working, which made it difficult to move around and appreciate the paintings while listening to the explanations. In addition, the guide focused mainly on anecdotes and historical details about how the paintings and statues arrived at the museum, offering little artistic insight into the techniques, styles, or creative aspects of the works themselves. In hindsight, it would have been better to purchase a ticket with the audio guide instead.
Meeting the guide, entering the museum, the audio experience and the personalized entertaining stories told throughout the evening made it a five star review.
Ahmed was an excellent guide. He was very knowledgeable and efficient. He navigated around the crowds and kept us entertained the whole time
The six person evening tour at the Louvre was a great way to get a taste of what there is to see at the Louvre. The Louvre is massive in size and the collection is huge. Having a tour guide show you the highlights (like the Mona Lisa) but then also share other pieces of art with you was great. Our guide, Nea, is clearly someone who loves art and the Louvre collection. She shared this love with us and explained paintings that I would normally have just walked past. (I now have a much better understanding and appreciation of some of the religious art at the Louvre.) I enjoyed my evening and really appreciated Nea’s enthusiasm and knowledge.
Our guide was fantastic - expressive, knowledgeable, and engaging. Her enthusiasm for the curated paintings she shared made each one come alive.
I really like how the guide explained different aspects of the paintings she has shown us. I also appreciate her “acting flair” as it was more entertaining and kept me interested in her variation narrative. She was very knowledgeable and knew her art.
Our tour guide from Voyage locally seemed pretty good, but she did not have the required entrance tickets, so our Louvre Small Group Night Tour planned for my birthday in Paris was cancelled. Viator needs to find another tour company!
We are sincerely sorry your birthday tour did not go as planned. However, the issue was not due to missing tickets or reservations on our side — all tickets and reservations had been secured well in advance. Unfortunately, the Louvre experienced an internal ticket scanning system failure that evening, and pre-booked reservations could not be validated. Our guides spent over 45 minutes on-site trying to resolve the issue and get guests inside, but unfortunately without success. As this situation was entirely beyond our control, we immediately offered either a full refund or the option to reschedule. We truly regret the inconvenience and disappointment caused.
