Nice way to see the main highlights of the Louvre - Our visit to the Louvre was great. Such an amazing place, but it’s easy to not know where to start. Simon made sure we saw all the highlights and gave us lots of special details about the art and the history of the Louvre itself. After the tour was over, we stayed longer to explore in our own.

Louvre tour with Marc - We had a great tour with Marc. He very kindly shared all of his knowledge of the numerous works of art. His tour of the Medieval part was fascinating. Didn’t feel rush and encouraged questions. Offered helpful suggestions at the end of the tour. 10/10 would recommend

Highly recommend! - This was a great tour of some of the Louvre’s highlights and Emma is a terrific guide! She was friendly, knowledgeable and told interesting stories about the art. Taking the tour made our visit more manageable and less overwhelming (great to skip the huge line too) than it would’ve been trying to visit on our own. My 17yo loved it too. Thanks again Emma!
