Perfect visit for our daughters' first time at the Louvre - We had the best guide for our first visit to the Louvre with our daughters, 12 and 13 years old. Nev made it really interesting for them and we all loved it! We will be back next year to do another tour with her! Thanks a lot for making art so accessible for us all!

Constant Communication - Our guide was a native Parisian! Initially we were a little lost and overwhelmed by the amount of people from the 2024 Olympics. Our guide and her team was in constant communication with us and requested our exact coordinates and they came to us! As for the tour, it was fabulous and memorable. We loved the paintings, the various eras and history behind all of them. The sculptures were incredible! I couldn’t believe we were actually at the Lourve!

The Perfect Louvre Experience - Our tour guide, Manuel, was wonderful. He was highly knowledgeable, funny and engaging. As a previous art teacher, he made the art come alive for us as he masterfully guided us through the Louvre. He made what could have been an overwhelming experience a delightful one. I think that anyone who has visited the Louvre previously, can attest to the enormity of the museum and the multitude of options that it presents. Having a private tour took the guesswork out of where to go and understanding the various art pieces that we saw. I would highly recommend this semi-private tour to anyone planning to visit the Louvre. It was well worth the money.

Best Tour Experience We Had! - We had Nev as a guide and she was AMAZING!! You can tell she has a passion for art and history. We learned so much from her. The tour started right on time with only 6 of us (all couples which was nice). We went directly to the Mona Lisa which was perfect because there were not many people so we got great shots of it and time to really look at it up close. Nev spent a lot of time explaining the artist, history and stories behind the best pieces of art. We are first timers in Paris and Nev and this tour is probably the highlight of our trip so far. Thank you Nev for making us feel so welcome and relaxed. We really enjoyed your tour!

Great tour, great guide - Our guide, Joanna, was absolutely wonderful. This was a small group with on 6 people, but even so, she managed different needs efficiently and effectively. She was knowledgeable, funny. I was concerned about not having headphones but Joanna was loud enough and her English was totally clear. The art was amazing, and we got to see many famous works that I studied in art school. The only bummer was the Monna Lisa part of the tour - it is crazy crowded, lots of shoving and pushing to get anywhere near it. Joanna was fabulous and helped us manage, even still I could have totally skipped that painting (and for anyone who is claustrophobic in a crowd, I recommend you skip it). Would definitely recommend this tour. And I would love to do another tour with Joanna.

Do It - We loved our small group tour with Nev.
She was very friendly and informative.
The louve is intimidating and in my opinion a small group is the way to go.
We learned so much about the art and history of the louve. I can't recommend it enough.

Mastering masterpieces - Excellent tour lead by Carmina. She took us thru centuries of history and art along an easily understood route. You can’t see all of the Louvre in a day, but every one was very satisfied with what we did see.

Do not book a tour with them - do NOT use this company. We signed up many months in advance for a semi private tour of the Mona Lisa. As this was for the day before the national holiday (when u cannot go) we signed up well in advance. They changed the tour last minute and we agreed to an earlier time, even though our train would only get in right before. As this was the one and only chance for our little one to go to the Louvre, we agreed. Guess what - the day before the cancel with no explanation etc. Do not use them. I spent hours in chat with them with messages back and forth and agreed to the earlier time and still they cancelled Terrible company. I have never had this happen anywhere else, ever.

Only Book if you want to donate $500 to the Tour Guy - Unprofessional tour group. Upon arriving on time in a very busy meeting area was given no instructions of who we were supposed to be looking for. You would have thought we were to be looking for someone holding a Tour Guy flag and that was not the case. The Tour Guy leases these tours out to other companies so they can't guarantee your experience or how you'll be treated. Ended up not being able to find our tour guide and once we called the number our tour guide was already proceeding with the tour and refused to come back for us. The Tour Guy also refuses any refunds as they see it as you missed your tour regardless if you were there on time.
