We had a great tour with... - We had a great tour with Nadiia. There was a long line outside the Louvre waiting to get in, but Nadia took us to a special entrance, and we were in the Louvre within minutes. She also navigated through the crowds inside and showed all the highlights in 3 hours!

Amazing experience - I did this tour today with Nadia. She was not only knowledgeable but passionate about the art works she showed me and the history of the museum itself. In one word, amazing.

Exceptional Tour with Michele - Highly Recommend - Mich was an exceptional tour guide - full of energy and information, and plenty of tips and tricks to help us navigate the Louvre with our family. He kept our children (ages 4 to 11) entertained throughout and had plenty of additional knowledge for the adults (who had visited the museum previously). Mich was generous with his time and patient with the children, while ensuring we got to see many of the highlights of the museum. You can certainly visit the Louvre without a guide and enjoy its incredible collection, but having someone as passionate and informed as Mich will certainly enhance your experience.

Good tour - Michele is the best guide! He personalized the tour for our group, was very engaging, fun, and obviously knowledgeable about the building and art. The tour was just the perfect length of time. We were not impressed with the mall area of the louvre. But if you enjoy tourist tour shopping, you will enjoy that area. Thanks to Michele for a wonderful experience! Worth every cent.

An absolute must do! - This was our first time in Paris and to the Louvre, we wanted to insure that we were able to truly understand the beauty and take in a must information as we could. We booked this incredible tour through The Tour Guy, and Sophia was our guide. Sophia guided us through the Louvre and made sure we saw as many of the treasures as we could within the three hours. We went at 1:15 pm, we were told that lunch time is a good time to go. This was a must do, amazing tour. Sophia truly loves art and it comes across as she guides you through the museum and provides you with an education that is at your pace.

Laid back yet ‘enlightening’ Louvre Tour - This was our first time in Paris and also at the Louvre, and we wanted to soak up as much knowledge as possible whilst there. Mich is lively, intelligent, and funny, and all of these qualities made his tour our favorite tour in Europe so far. It’s obvious that Mich is an expert in his area; he told us the most important information regarding main pieces in the Louvre, but more importantly, he did so in a non-patronizing, fun manner that made the tour so great for two college grads. Logistically, this tour was a perfect time - just over two hours. Just long enough to meet the legends of the Louvre, with personal time afterwards to explore other areas of the musuem. We highly recommend him and his tour to anyone!! - Ellie and Beau P.S. - I hope you get our (attempt at an) Enlightenment era joke in the title. We felt it appropriate:)

Don’t book with the company Travel Curious! They cannot fulfill their tickets for the Louvre tour and then they cancel! - We booked a private tour of The Louvre for June 5th. This company cancelled our tour on May 26th saying that the Louvre was closed due to a private event that day. By that time, there were no tickets available for the Louvre with any other company. The other dates they offered did not work with our travel schedule, nor were they early in the morning, when crowds are lower. WE FOUND OUT THEY LIED and the Louvre was not closed as they told me in writing. We met another family in Paris on the day of June 5th that went to the Louvre that same day. When I replied to them in writing and asked why they told me the Louvre was closed, when in fact it was not, they did not reply. They did not reply to my voicemail either. This company sells tours before securing tickets and then lies when they cannot fulfill the tour. The sad part is that my family did not have the opportunity to see the Louvre and I have no idea if we will all be in Paris together again and have another opportunity. Dishonest!
