Touring the Louvre in the evening was spectacular and made even better by our guide Claudia. She was so knowledgeable and seeing the exhibits with her commentary made it extra special.

Definitely get a guide for the Louvre, otherwise it’s easy to get lost and overwhelmed. Ivette was excellent, she got us in quickly, took us to all the highlights: Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, Wedding at Canna, etc. and offered a ton of background and reference. Definitely recommend! Private tour is pricey but well worth it.

We went on the 6:00 p.m. tour which was amazing. The place wasn’t crowded at all so we were able to enjoy the exhibits and get lots of beautiful photos. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Liked the later time as not as crowded. Our guide was knowledgeable and very good at getting us close to the exhibits. I would have eliminated a couple of the exhibits but overall it was an excellent way to get an overview of the Louvre as first time visitors and in a short time.

The Louvre is an immense museum and is difficult to grasp without the expertise of an experienced guide. Yvette provided an excellent introduction and escorted through the history of the museum as well as the artistic treasures in reasonable time period for older travelers.
