We’ll move towards the city’s oldest bridge and to its perfectly manicured flowerbeds at the Tuileries Gardens. Stand where heads rolled at the Place de la Concorde while learning about the world’s…

Treat yourself to a special day! - We had a wonderful day walking around to see the highlights of the city, including Notre Dame. We learn so much about the different artwork in the Louvre. And I'm so glad we had our wonderful tour guide.She was super knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. She was especially accommodating whenever we needed a break or needed to sit down, or needed some food. We highly recommend this tour.

Paris city center and the Louvre - We had a great time and learned a lot. Marc was a great tour guide! He was very knowledgeable and we truly enjoyed touring Île-de-la-cite, the Latin quarter and the louvre. We did not have to wait in line very long and we got to see the main attractions we were hoping to see in a short amount of time, which we could have never done without Marc!

Art, history, and mythology brought to life! - First things first, Ivanna was an absolute gem! Her passion for art was contagious, and she beautifully wove together stories behind the artist's and their work. It wasn't just about the visual work; it was about the emotions, the history, and the cultural significance behind each piece. We were captivated by the mystery and conspiracy behind the Mona Lisa and left speechless by the striking beauty of the Venus du Milo. Ivanna's storytelling brought to life the imposing grandeur of the Winged Victory of Samothrace as she told us all about the goddess Nike. As the tour came to an end, I found myself reluctant to leave. The Louvre had cast its spell on me, leaving me with a newfound appreciation for art and a treasure trove of memories to cherish. So, if you ever find yourself in Paris, do yourself a favor and embark on this tour of the Louvre. It's a much deeper experience than navigating it yourself!

Paris City & Louvre Tour - Marcel - This was by far the best tour we took in Paris. MARCEL was our guide, and we couldn’t have chosen a better person for the job. He had an abundance of knowledge, answered any question that was asked of him, and even made a detour on the city tour once I asked him his what his favorite Parisian street food was. Once inside the Louvre, he shared interesting facts about the history of the sculptures and paintings that he pointed out along the way. With the sheer size of the Louvre, it is a lot to try to take it all in. Marcel provided a comprehensive overview of the works inside the museum that didn’t feel like we were missing anything, but also not overwhelmed by the amount either. If I could, I would have Marcel give me every tour in Paris!

So lucky to have had our guide - Our guide, Anatole was absolutely fantastic! Friendly, funny, and informative. I learned so much on the tour that I had to run home and write it all down in my travel journal. Worth every penny. Highly, highly recommend.

Excellent tour and guide! - Our tour guide was Malaika and she was excellent! Very knowledgeable about both the city center and the Louvre, very open to questions and detailed in her explanations. We would highly recommend the tour and this specific guide. Also the skip the line was absolutely necessary unless you wanted to stand there for 2+ hours before getting in to the museum.

Hugo the star! - Had a lovely tour with Hugo and his charisma and excitement for the art was both entertaining and educational. It was a literal delight to go through the museum highlights with him and I would 100% have him give a tour on anything in the city.
