Amazing time at the Louvre!

5.00Really amazing experience and the guide was great! I asked her about a specific painting that I didn't hear mentioned and she smiled and told me exactly where I could sneak away to see it on the tour (it was in the same room as one of the paintings we were going to visit) when we arrived at the room she kindly pointed out which other paintings my artist (J.L. David) did in the room and a portrait of him too! It was such a wonderful experience. Loved hearing the stories about all of the paintings and my husband especially liked seeing pictures of some of the Louvre rooms in other paintings too! Overall lovely experience, would certainly do again!

5.00I wish I had made a note of our guide’s name because they were excellent. The meeting point was easy to find, and check-in was smooth and well organized. The tour started right on time, which we really appreciated. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Our guide helped bring the museum to life and shared insights we definitely would have missed if we had explored the Louvre on our own. It made the visit much more meaningful and memorable. Highly recommend this tour!

5.00Helin was very informed and very informative. She was always engaged and extremely accommodating. This was especially important as there were several elderly in our group. The Louvre would always be interesting, but she made it special.

5.00Arrive early and spent time in the Jardin Des Tuileries. Bring a blanket and enjoy a snack, or walk around and see the statues and monuments. When it’s time for the tour it’s easy to find the guides near the Arc du Triomphre Des Carrousal. Our guide Severine was amazing. She guided us through security to enter the museum. From the start she gave us bits of information about the growth of the museum and who commissioned the different buildings. Throughout the tour she provided us with the best views of the art we saw, gave us background information and fun facts. Overall an amazing experience. Highly recommend.
Worth the morning!
