Great tour!
Erin_C, Jan 2025
We had a really great experience on this tour. We had a private tour as the max size is 6 and there were 6 of us. It was easy to find guide and we entered the Louvre quickly. Go in the morning to beat the crazy crowds. Informational and fun - we learned a lot and felt that it was a good pace - we saw a lot and learned a lot. Guide was very friendly and gave us tips to continue to explore the galleries after our tour was complete.
Lovely visit of the Louvre
Lauren_C, Dec 2024
It was a lovely tour where we managed to not stand in lines for ages, learn a little on the history of the museum, as well as see some beautiful art and get information of some of the pieces

carlina_a, Dec 2024
I had such a great experience in the Louvre. Martin was a great tour guide and was able to answer all my weird questions, even the tiny details. He was charismatic and fun to be around and took us to all the famous pieces and told us the stories behind them.
The guide makes the experience!

Unforgettable Tour with Matteo We had an incredible experience on my recent Louvre tour, thanks to our outstanding guide, Matteo. His deep knowledge of the art, history, and hidden stories behind the masterpieces made the visit special. Matteo’s passion for the museum was contagious, and he brought engaging anecdotes and helpful insights. His expertise and enthusiasm made this experience very memorable. The tour was well paced, allowing us to experience both famous works and lesser-known gems. If you are visiting the Louvre, we recommend this tour!

Marvelous tour~
Jeannette_H, Nov 2024
Had a wonderful tour~our guide made sure to answer all questions and give us more details of the museum then we would have gotten on our own. Great experience and highly recommended.
Great way to see the highlights of the Louvre
Amy_L, Nov 2024
Angie, our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. She navigated us through the museum very well.
Expensive
Emily_C, Nov 2024
This was a very expensive tour for what it was. Semi-skipping the line was nice, but other than that, it was a quick walk through several highlights of the museum. Our tour guide was kind and knowledgeable, but his English was a bit halting which delayed our stops. Would just buy tickets and a guide book next time and do it for a quarter of the price.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Hello, Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the tour. We’re glad to hear you found the guide kind and knowledgeable, and that the semi-skip-the-line access enhanced your visit. We regret that the pace of the tour and the language fluency didn’t meet your expectations. While our guides strive to deliver comprehensive and engaging experiences, we understand that each guest has their own preferences for exploring such iconic locations. Your feedback is valuable and helps us evaluate the balance between cost, pacing, and the overall experience. We appreciate your perspective and will continue to work on improving our tours to better meet the needs of our guests. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Best regards,
Excellent tour, hard to understand the guide
Jen_T, Nov 2024
This is my second time taking this tour. I definitely recommend taking a small group tour, but unfortunately, there was a little bit of a language barrier, and it was difficult for us to understand our tour guide. She was extremely sweet, very knowledgeable. I think she would’ve been better giving the tour in French than in English? Needless to say, I would definitely still take a small group tour via this company again, just hopefully you get a true English speaker if that is what you require.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Hello, Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing to tour with us again! We're delighted to hear that you appreciate the small-group format and found your guide to be knowledgeable and kind. We sincerely apologize if the language barrier made it challenging to fully enjoy the experience. While our guides are trained to provide tours in English, we understand that clear communication is essential for an enriching experience. Your feedback will help us ensure better alignment between guides and the language preferences of our guests. We’re grateful for your understanding and your willingness to book with us again. We look forward to welcoming you on another tour and ensuring it’s as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Best regards,
