The enigmatic Joachim
John_W, Apr 2024
This tour was made memorable by the guide, Joachim, engaging, knowledgable, honest and interactive. However I wouldnt necesarily recommend the Louvre unless what it holds is what interests you,meaning I prefer the impressionists and later art, but the early history as relayed by Joachim is fascinating.
An Excellent Day at the Louvre
Mark_C, Apr 2024
Julian was an excellent, knowledgeable, passionate guide who truly cares about art and history. We were in awe of all the context he provided surrounded for each work of art. We couldn't recommend him enough.
Great tour
Diane_H, Apr 2024
Our guide Thibaut was very knowledgeable. Great tour. We didn’t get through the entire museum but he made sure to show us the highlights.
Excellent tour guide, knowledgeable and tailored our time in the Louvre towards our interests.
Jay_F, Apr 2024
Excellent tour guide. He has a Masters Degree, spoke fluent English, made sure he never lost us, and led us through the underground mall right to our dejeuner location after the tour.
Tour guide was extremely...
Stanley_C, Apr 2024
Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable learning about the history of the art and the way the Lourve received some of the pieces were interesting.
Just right
Brian_C, Apr 2024
The Louvre literally contains MILES of art so the best you can hoe for is to hit some things of interest before you get too tired! Ivana, our tour guide, did a GREAT job of bringing us to many of the highlights at the museum, while giving lots of information about the various art pieces, the building itself and what was going on in Paris during various eras of the museum's history. With the structured and organized approach to the museum, we saw and learned SO MUCH more than we would have on our own. After the tour you are then free to wander the museum as much as you want. It was, of course, also great not to have to wait in line for tickets, and to be lead into the group entrance by the tour guide was a time and anxiety saver.
Great Louvre Tour

Guide Andrea was absolutely amazing. Her excellent training and information helped us understand the statues and art, as well as put in context what was happening during the time in history. Very personable in providing the information. Excellent English skills a plus. Recommend her highly.
Michele - Louvre Tour

Amazing experience at the Louvre!
Nathan_C, Apr 2024
Awesome experience! Our tour guide, Tania, was so knowledgeable and friendly - we learned so much about the Louvre, its history, and many of the amazing pieces on display. We had two teenagers in our group, and she was always engaging ... our children enjoyed this and never lost interest thanks to her! The Louvre is so overwhelming, and Tania helped navigate and streamline this experience so that it was enjoyable and one to remember. Highly recommend all around!
Semi-Private was worth the money
Jonny_M, Apr 2024
We would newer had gotten so much of the visit without this Semi-Private guidance and Andrea had an inspiring way of telling things och asking us questions.
See the best Louvre art with great guide
Sky_A, Apr 2024
Tour guide was really informative and nice. She showed us around the must see art works at the Louvre and gave good tips on how to get a photo with the Mona Lisa. Good group size.
Knowledgeable & Friendly
Joseph_A, Apr 2024
Julien was a great tour guide. How can you not love a tour guide who refers to his group as family. Very knowledgeable and was a jem navigating the Louvre which is a “full contact” event due to so many people. Highly recommend!
