Great tour! - Great time with Z! Very educational and hit the highlights of the louvre with great insight into the history! We were also able to stay after the foot and explore more on our own, which really highlighted Z’s knowledge because we were missing him!

Great Tour for Completeness, Information and Size (6 ppl). Joe was a great tour guide who really knows the museum. - Joe was a great guide for this tour. He’s extremely knowledgeable, entertains while informing, and led us to all the highlights that we wanted to see. Our 6 person group was a great size to manage our way through the crowds and get to see everything. Joe even gave us the best tip to see Mona Lisa up close. I highly recommend him and this company.

Small Group Tour is a Great Value - Dina was a wonderful tour guide, covering the highlights and some other interesting pieces. I appreciated her knowledge of the works and the artists, her stories, and her sense of humor. I saw some works I hadn’t noticed before and learned new things about the artists. The small group made it much easier to navigate the large crowds and was well worth the money.

My visit to the Louvre - The tour with Sergio was very funny and informative. I now know more about France and the artworks of the Louvre. I highly recommend taking this tour. The Louvre is too big to do it alone.

A Magnificent Travel In Time at the Louvre and Musée d'Orsay by the Best Art History Experts! - I can't say enough about the excellent Babylon guides for our recent tours of the Louvre Museum and the Musée d'Orsay! Ana, our magnificent guide for the Musée d'Orsay meticulously explained the history, techniques and mindset of all the artists' paintings, sculptures throughout the entire museum. She also explained the history of the museum itself, and how the modern designs were incorporated into its existing centuries old architecture! Ana has a Master's degree in art history, and her tour was very personalized, educational and enriching. Thank you Ana! Hugo, our sensational guide the next day for the Louvre Museum, exuded flair and knowledge in sharing his expertise of the entire museum! Hugo shared that he was born a few blocks from the Louvre, and held a Master's degree in art humanities as well. He explained everything in detail from the pyramid at the entrance, to the many significant art pieces in a timeline which made everything very intriguing and easy to understand. I felt like I was listening to a flamboyant art professor guiding us through time! I very highly recommend Ana and Hugo from Babylon Tours Paris!

Excellent tour of louvre- hit the high points without the crowds. - Elisabeth was a wonderful tour guide. Funny, entertaining with facts and just enough detail to captivate. I learned a lot and she was attentive to needs - coat lockers, bathrooms, sitting and air con vents! Well worth skipping lines for entry.

Fantastic experience in the Louvre with Manu! - Our guide, Manu, was excellent! He was very easy to communicate with (his English was fantastic), and his knowledge of the Louvre as well as the pieces inside were extremely detailed. He was very good about making sure that we understood everything and kept reminding us to ask questions. You can certainly tell that Manu is passionate about art as well as history. 5 Stars!
