A new and interesting theme to explore the Louvre - This tour was so inspiring and thought provoking, I was expecting something different from a general museum tour and it did not disappoint! It was so informative but also we were encouraged to discuss the ideas presented as well.

Barbara & the Louvre are outstanding!!! - The Louvre is an overwhelming place and touring with Barbara was the best way possible to learn about the history of the Museum and its masterpieces.
Not only Barbara brought us to see the masterpieces of the Museum, but also the less known (and crowded) areas. Definitely, something we would never have seen if not because of our guide!
Do not hesitate: book this tour!

Great tour - Thank you so much Barbara&Boris for the amazing tour. It was very interesting, we learned so many thing that we didn’t know. Both of them were very professionals and with lots of jokes. I would definitely recommend the tour.

Astonishing and original - I loved the sense of humour, the subtlety and the incredible erudition of these two tour guides.
They make you feel comfortable during the whole visit with clear explanations, especially given the sophisticated concepts they sometimes adopt.
