5.00Wonderful opportunity for early access into louvre . Our guide was professional and very informative on many of the significant pieces of art in the museum. Worth the effort to get their early before crowds .

5.00After the heist in late October, we weren't sure if we'd make it into the museum, but right at 9am, we were escorted inside and quickly made our way right to the Mona Lisa. For about 5-10 minutes, we had her all to ourselves. Our guide, Zacharie, was so knowledgeable and we all had a great time. Definitely recommend, but make sure you wear comfortable shoes - lots of walking inside!
Amazing experience

The information she provided on each work of art we saw was interesting and she kept us engaged/took photos even when large crowds were forming. Our view of the Mona Lisa was incredible and we are so grateful we got this experience with her. We would definitely recommend her for a fun tour!

5.00Fantastic tour with professional artist and art expert, Katarzyna. It was exactly what we were hoping the tour to be: we went straight to the Mona Lisa, seeing her before the crowds, and then saw other major Louvre highlights. Our guide, was super knowledgeable about history, art, France, the Louvre, and art restoration. She took us around the museum, and before the tour ended, made sure we had our bearings in the enormous museum, and had a plan for what to do next.

5.00If you’re lucky enough to get Claire as your guide, you’re in for an experience like no other. From the moment we met her at the entrance Claire made us feel at ease and truly connected with the art and history around us. With an art history background she was able to bring the masterpieces to life, sharing tidbits and personal anecdotes that transformed what could have been just another museum tour into a journey through time. Make sure you take the early morning tour. It was very crowded.

The highlight for me was seeing the Mona Lisa without the crowds, having time to truly appreciate this work of art. I highly recommend this tour and our guide Diane, her expertise and kind nature truly made this an incredible experience.
