Traveller Tips

It's not your tour guide's responsibility to wait for you and hold up precious time that eats into other tourists' punctuality.

Unless you have days to spend wandering the 38,000 pieces on display, skip the (really long) lines and see the art through Lilli's trained eyes.

Private tours are not cheap but it was an unforgettable experience and Taylor managed to bridge to our 12-year-old grand-daughter, as well as her mother and, of course, us her grand-parents.

A great tour.

Katie_A, Mar 2023

Enjoyed hearing some stories that otherwise we wouldn't have known about. Learned a lot about the different reasons why a statue or art piece was designed.

Fantastic

Mark_P, Mar 2023

Guide Alex was very good. Very informative, and knowledgeable. Courteous, and went out of his way to be helpful.

Great tour

Christopher_B, Mar 2023

Our guide Romain, was excellent! Very informative and passionate about the art but also the history of when it was made and sometimes cultural stories about how it was acquired! We were also fortunate to have a little time at the end to see the Marie de Medici “self promotion” panels that tied in nicely with our tour of the Luxembourg Palace.

Nancy was one of the best...

Guide knowledgeable and maneuvered crowds.

Meg_J, Mar 2023

We had booked telling the company we wanted to be on the same tour with our friends. When we got there we weren’t booked that way. Our guide met with the other guide and got it all straightened out.

Loved Le Louvre and our tour guide, Z

Bruce_P, Mar 2023

Our tour guide, "Z" (?Zdvanka?) was a wonderful guide for my wife and me. He is very knowledgeable and humor. We had a great private tour.

Great experience with our tour guide Belen ! She was amazing at bringing this tour to life, she was very interactive and answered all our questions . We toured outside the Louvre and learned the history before going in, while inside we were given ample time to take pics if we wanted. Great tour.

Our tour guide, Valerie made our Louvre visit so much more enjoyable with her enthusiasm and knowledge. We would highly recommend this tour.

Very entertaining and exclusive tour

Lyna_D, Mar 2023

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Valerie. She has a deep understanding of the history of the area, which made the experience come alive. The way she presented each gallery, and in the order she presented them, gave us a real appreciation of the art displayed and its place in history. Will definitely recommend Louvre Museum Paris - Exclusive Guided Tour to friends and associates. Many thanks.

This is the one

Dunya is The Best @ The Louvre

Tom_H, Mar 2023

This was the best guided tour of the Louvre. Our guide Dunya was kind, accommodating and incredibly knowledgeable; an in-depth knowledge of the art, the museum, and French history. We are grateful she shared her rich understanding and her ability to communicate in a way that quickly brought the artifacts to life before our eyes. If you can request Dunya do it.

Miriam was amazing!

Greg_G, Mar 2023
