5.00We did the small group tour, which included just four of us and our guide. It was PERFECT! Our guide was interesting and engaging. Not only was she very professional, but you could tell she loved what she does. Plus she had all the “little secret” spots to suggest pictures from, most were away from the larger crowds. After our two hour tour, we were able to spend the rest of the day at the Louvre… enjoying everything at our own pace, and revisiting a few things again. 1000% recommend this tour!
Just say yes!

5.00We booked this as a semi-private tour but ended up being a private tour with a guide from the museum. They gave great directions on where to meet up. We had no problems at all. Our guide was Francesca who was very warm and friendly. She brought history to life. We highly recommend booking any tour with Boutique Tours.
Highly recommend this informative tour.
