Not just for first-timers: BEST way to see the Louvre! - We booked the semi-private tour as we wanted a more personal experience. Sebastian was awesome! His interest and curiosity around art and history kept our tour interesting. As a history buff and a repeat guest of the Louvre, my partner even learned a bit from our guide! We left the Louvre having seen pieces we would not have thought to seek out as well as the iconic pieces plus some great restaurant recommendations! Highly recommend!

Sania historian - Sania was our tour guide. She was great at going quickly through history and I was especially pleased that she gave us a list of “must see” art work in the Louvre along with great reasons why. Thank you Sania.

Not so great - Tour was outside the museum and that eventually delayed entrance as well. No skipping line. If you’ve limited in time in Paris this is not worth the cost or the time spent
