Fantastic experience, the best tour we could have had. Monty our tour guide was amazing. - The experience started immediately as we skipped every line and entered the museum swiftly. No time lost. Our guide Monty, was fantastic and personable. His familiarity with the museum was demonstrated by how quickly he was able to get us around in the correct order to avoid crowds. He took us to the masterpieces and gave us insightful information. He took wonderful pictures of us that made it memorable forever. It was evident that he was well known at the museum and he was able to get the best views of all the must see highlights as the louvre is such a huge museum we could not have done it on our own and seen as much as we did. He was able to get a picture of us right in front of the Mona Lisa skipping all the crowds. There’s no other way to see this museum without a private tour. It makes all the difference. We weren’t sure if we should attempt the Louvre in just two hours, but this tour made it happen. We highly recommend this tour company and Monty overall. This was one of the best experiences of our life. Thank you Monty for making our vacation great.

Worth the extra cost - We had the absolute pleasure of touring the Louvre with Ivan as our private guide, and it was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Paris. From the moment we met, Ivan was warm, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about the art and history housed within the museum. We were able to skip the line—a huge bonus since the Louvre was fully booked for days and we were leaving Paris the next morning. That alone made the private tour worth every penny. But what made the experience truly exceptional was Ivan’s insight. He gave us the inside scoop on the most important pieces—from Greek antiquities to Michelangelo’s sculptures, to the transition into oil painting. He didn’t just walk us through the Louvre; he brought the stories behind the art to life. When we got to the Mona Lisa, he made sure we understood her place in history, beyond the hype. Ivan took his time with us, answered every question, and helped us focus on what mattered most. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by the sheer size of the Louvre, we felt like we were on a curated journey through time. If you're even thinking about doing a private tour—especially when time is limited—book with Ivan. He made what could have been a rushed, crowded visit into a relaxed, rich, and unforgettable experience. One of the best decisions we made in Paris.

Great guide - Ivan was a great tour guide offered in depth explanations on top of adding his own flair and charisma to the tour, without Ivan the museum would be too confusing to navigate on my own.

The most famous treasures of the Louvre Museum... - I only had one day to visit the Louvre Museum so I wanted to make sure I saw the most important and famous pieces during my visit. So I opted for the guided tour which insured I would see the most famous of them without wandering aimlessly through the vast complex of the Louvre. Our guide Addy was great. She explained each piece and it's history and she made sure we weren't rushed. She was one of the best tour guides I've had over the years. She was very mindful of those tourists in her group that needed assistance such as where the elevators were. A very caring tour guide!

VIP Treatment - Stephanie was an amazing guide! She was punctual, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. Skipped a very large line and felt like a V.I.P. with a small-group tour.

Not worth the money - The guide was new. Hardly showed and explained 5-6 display items and took 1 hr for it. After that left us on our own. The ticket says skip the line but the guide made us feel privileged when he made us skip the queue after a long chat with the guards. They dont use the short wave earphones like some other tour operators so the guide is hardly audible in noisy louvre.

- The worst operator I have ever worked with. We booked a semi-private tour, were running 5 minutes late due to rain and a baby, and they left without us. They were impossible to get on the phone for 30 minutes and we were unable to get into the Louvre at that point. Don't work with them if you expect any level of customer service or flexibility.
