Amazing tour experience

5.00Avi was the best tour guide we’ve ever had! He was extremely knowledgeable and also funny. Our son was tickled that he got to show off his knowledge of Greek and Roman mythology. Avi even exceeded the length of the tour and offered lots of information with all kinds of background stories that made the tour even more engaging. He made the experience interactive and entertaining. We highly recommend! On top of the wonderful tour experience, I want to note that the Tour Guy is a company that actually cares about their customers because there were two people in our group that didn’t show up, and the guides waited for them for an extra 10-15 mins. We had an unfortunate experience with Uncle Sam Tours two days prior when the directions to another tour’s location were inaccurate, and we ended up being 10 mins late and ultimately missed the tour.
Great day at the Louvre!

5.00We had the most wonderful tour with Demetri. He was so knowledgeable and helped us navigate the Louvre and even added on some special request stops. Demetri’s tour was interesting and informative and I would absolutely recommend this tour. I attended with my 13 year old daughter and she also thought it was great and was engaged the entire time. Having a great guide made the daunting experience of attending the Louvre an absolutely easy and a pleasure.
Great experience

5.00This tour was great! Our tour guide Addy was FANTASTIC. She was very knowledgeable, polite, respectful, and provided important details about history and masterpieces in the museum. Everything was done on time, and she kept the group engaged the whole time! The museum is huge but we focused on the most relevant items. This tour is really worth it!.

5.00The museum is massive and there is so much to see, that a guide is very helpful to make sure you see the highlights, then if you want to, you can continue on your own later. It is a-lot of walking and standing, but well worth it!!
Great with kids

5.00Our guide Astrid was lovely, informative and helped us manage the crowds beautifully. But what made her truly special was how kind she was to my 11 year old. She kept the tour professional but always talked directly to my kid to make sure she was included.
Great value - highly recommend this tour and tour guide!

5.00Will did a wonderful job shepherding our group around the crowded museum and bringing the history of art alive for those of us who are novices. We saw the “big 3” and other pieces that represented a fraction of the collection. Would love to hear him lecture again!
