Fantastic Louvre Tour - Emily was a fantastic tour guide. She made our visit to three Louvre more interesting by providing both informative and entertaining facts about pieces during our tour. And efficiently maneuvered us to some of the “greatest hits” through the often overwhelming Louvre crowds. The Louvre can be overwhelming for anyone so her expertise both with art and the building itself was invaluable. She made three hours fly by. Highly recommend!

Wonderful guide who made the tour great - Our family of 2 adults 2 teens had Emily as our tour guide at the Louvre. I will say, the name of the tour is not accurate: the Mona Lisa was not peaceful in any way- the museum and the Mona Lisa room in general was super chaotic and crowded. However, this is no fault of our wonderful guide Emily- who was incredibly professional, knowledgeable and patient. She kept her cool and managed our group through the crowds extremely well logistically. She had abundant knowledge about the art we viewed and her enthusiasm really came through! This was clearly a well educated art guide who knew her stuff and managed to give us a great experience despite the entire world being at the louvre when we were. Would highly recommend this guide if you can handle the crowds.

Love the Louvre! - Excellent guide and so worth it! Would not do The Louvre again without a guide. Was great tour! Skipping the line and having her to help navigate was crucial. Guide was so knowledgable.

Louvre guided tour - Our guide was excellent. He was very informed and passionate about helping us enjoy and learn! I wish I could recall his name! He was very patient and kept an easy pace. While viewing the Mona Lisa was our objective seeing other pieces like Venus de Milo was thrilling.

An Uncultured American Enjoying Art - I am an uncultured American who does not appreciate art in the way it deserves. We went to the Louvre because we felt like we had to while in Paris. However, our tour guide ADAM completely changed our perspective on not only the louvre but art in general. This 6ft 7 giant (in spirit) Canadian was the MOST entertaining tour guide we’ve ever had on any kind of tour! I had never had so much fun and learned so much on a tour, especially on a tour we weren’t particularly excited for (so sleepy from other activities too). Adam is also one of the most intelligent people in general that we have met. He used his PHD in Nuclear Physics to further explain the science behind restoration and the historical understanding of art. My only disappointment is that Adam couldn’t continue on the rest of our trip with us. We miss you Adam!! 100000/10 recommend a tour with Adam!!

So worth the money for a personal tour - The guide was absolutely incredible, she was knowledgeable and witty and made the Louve an awesome experience. The group was small and personal and it hit all the main things you want to see. So much better with a tour than I could have ever done on my own
