Louvre Guided Tour - semi-private - Anatole, our guide, was just incredible. He really knows his art history and visiting the Louvre for the first time I wouldn’t recommend any other way. The guided tour took away that stress of knowing where to go and what to see in the world’s largest museum.

An amazing experience - We had an absolutely wonderful time. Small group, our guide was very knowledgeable and relaxed. Taking time to balance us taking in the beautiful art and keeping us on track at the same time. For those that have any concern about language, our guide was absolutely fluent and switched seamlessly between English and French for my wife and I. Already a highlight of our trip. Merci!

Great cheerful guide Malaïka - Malaïka was a great guide... Always cheerful and eager to clear every doubt of ours. She didn't rush through any of the things and gave us ample time to roam around. Loved having her as our guide.

Fantastic way to see the Louvre for the first time - Malaika made our visit so interesting and educational. As the largest art gallery in the world, the experience of going to the Louvre could be overwhelming. She broke the tour into 4 distinct time periods, making it manageable and easier to understand. I would heartily recommend her.
