Exceptional tour - My wife and I visited the Louvre for the first time on a small group tour with our guide Florence. What a wonderful experience, Florence is such a delightful person and was so well informed with an exceptional knowledge about all of the exhibits we visited. It made our visit such a memorable occasion so thank you Florence. We would highly recommend Florence if you are looking to visit the Louvre on a small guided tour.

The Louvre w/Nancy is the way to go! - This tour checked all our boxes including time efficiency! My husband and I were part of Nancy’s tour. She was very knowledgeable, extremely personable and showed us the “Don’t Miss” exhibits without getting bogged down in the crowds. Highly recommending this tour and especially Nancy to our family members who are scheduling their trip to Paris next year!

Early Louvre Tour With Meng Was So Worth It - My sister and I loved our early-access Louvre tour with Meng. Meng was waiting at the entrance right where we were told she'd be and she made sure we were in line right away so we could get into the museum as soon as it opened. She knew the absolute best shortcuts to beeline it to the Mona Lisa first thing so we could enjoy the experience with very few people around. I felt so lucky to be there and to be able to enjoy the moment without the crowds. Meng also showed us several amazing sculptures and key works of art that made the experience so much more meaningful. I loved hearing about not just the works of art themselves, but about the artist, and the importance of the politics and history happening of the time the piece was made. The Louvre can easily get overwhelming--there's so much to see and it's hard to know where to start and what to focus on. Having Meng there as our guide made the experience so much more meaningful and enjoyable.

Louvre - A great tour in under two hours. When they say, "skip the line," the mean it. Our small group of six breezed into the Louvre with our guide. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we did not feel pressured or hurried as we walked through with her. If you feel like you need to see every bit of the museum, after our guide says goodbye, you're able to stay in the Louvre and get your fill. Definitely and excellent tour: small, intimate, knowledgeable.
