Team Adam!! - Adam is hands down the most interesting person you’ll ever meet. He has an extensive background in both science and art and brings that lens to the tour. I’m just not an art museum person and was fully expecting to be bored while shuffling through a crowd of people, but Adam was absolutely phenomenal. He brought so much depth to each piece, touching on the political, social, religious historical aspects that brought the art to life and made the tour incredibly engaging. I’d recommend this tour for anyone and everyone, it’s a fantastic learning experience for all ages and no one will be bored. I wish I could bring Adam with me everywhere to explain my whole life, he was just that good.

OUTSTANDING!! - Adam is the best!! Not only was the tour super fun and entertaining, my kids (12 and 16) learned a lot as did my husband and I. I’m not much for a tour group but I wanted to skip the line at the louvre so I booked this tour for that purpose; and I’m so glad I did! Adam is engaging, knowledgeable (Phd), and downright funny. Also, he is very easy to understand with no strong accent and easy to hear with a one piece earpiece. Go team Adam!!

deeper experience having a private guide - My son and I just returned home from 4 days in Paris together. My first time, and his 4th. We had Violette give us a private tour of the Louvre and we were both blown away by the experience. In the past, he's enjoyed walking the museum and exploring on his own. But this experience gave him a deeper understanding of the pieces. She took us into rooms that not everyone knew about. She had secret ways to get there and kept us moving without feeling exhausted. Her energy is inspiring, and her knowledge is extensive. She is clearly passionate about her love for Paris and these pieces of art. Head pieces made receiving the information very easy. I highly recommend doing a private tour while at the Louvre - worth the money.

Outstanding guided tour of the Louvre! - We were absolutely thrilled with our 2 hour tour of the Louvre! We are sometimes hesitant to book tours of museums, but we were blown away by our experience. We were able to enter the museum quickly without waiting in the (very long) line. We actually were fortunate to have a completely private tour for our family (an unexpected bonus!). Our headsets were comfortable and worked well. Most importantly, we had an amazing tour guide. Violette was our guide extraordinaire, and we could not have been happier. She is extremely knowledgeable, passionate about art history, and incredibly warm and engaging. Even our teens had to admit it was a fabulous tour -- ha,ha! We were able to see the most well-known masterpieces at the Louvre, while learning details and stories we surely would not have learned otherwise. We left the Louvre feeling very grateful for our informative, detailed tour; we highly recommend you book a tour with Violette!

Amazing tour of the Louvre! - My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Nancy! Her knowledge of the works of art was deep and sophisticated. She did a great job engaging my 14 year old and helping her understand not only the works we saw but also their context. We could not have covered the key works without her knowledge of the Louvre as well. She made sure we saw what we highlighted but also shared some amazing works and artifacts that are not on the traditional tourist list. We would love to do this and other tours with her again!

Wonderful small group tour at the Louvre - My husband and I booked this as our last tour of a 2 week trip in Europe, of which we had several tours, but we both agreed that this was our favorite! Our tour guide was Violette and she was wonderful. I can't imagine walking the Louvre on my own or with another company. She was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about her work which made the tour that much more enjoyable. Violette is truly a professional and we agreed that we would love to come back to France again and when we do, we HAVE to book another tour with her. Highly recommend!
