5.00I had an amazing tour with Florence at the Louvre. She was so engaging and her knowledge of the artwork was incredible. She made the tour fly by and I easily could have spent more time listening. My boyfriend who doesn't particularly care about art also love the tour. Florence walked us through the different periods and explained how they were all related. Highly recommend!

5.00The tour was fabulous! Florence was a fabulous guide. I highly recommend her! The knowledge of the Louvre and its history she has is amazing. She went out of her way to assist my 96 year old friend to be able to see the Mona Lisa up close. She took our photo in front of the Mona Lisa as well as other famous statues. She was very personable. It was a pleasure to have her as our guide. As a bonus, she gave us recommendations for lunch afterwards. We went to one restaurant she recommended that has a rooftop view of the Seine River. The food was fabulous along with the view! We went back there for dinner another day. I definitely will book another tour with her next time I visit Paris!
Immersive, fun, satisfying

5.00We LOVED the tour and our tour guide, Nancy B! She was so informative, fun, and personable throughout the tour. You can tell she has a love of Paris and its history and all the art in the Louvre. While the tour was only a few hours I believe she was knowledgeable enough to run a full-day tour! She made sure to hit the most well known pieces at the Louvre while sharing great pieces of information on lesser known pieces. We really enjoyed our time with her and are glad we booked this one - one of our favorites while we were in Paris.
