Fantastic Tour Guide!! - We absolutely loved our tour guide. She completely "got it" that we wanted an abridged version so the kids would enjoy it and she did an amazing job. It's makes such a huge difference having a guide.

Best Tour Ever! - Our guide took us through the highlights of the Louvre in 2.5 hours. My partner has limited mobility and we were given priority access through the entrances, via the elevators and behind the stanchions in front of the Mona Lisa.

Great tour with Joseph! - Our guide Joseph was delightful and made the Louvre come alive with all of the interesting facts we would have never otherwise known. Extremely knowledgeable, Joseph made the time fly by with his easy nature and joviality. This was a great tour and would highly recommend if you don’t want to fight crowds and want a unique experience.

Wonderful tour and fantastic guide! - We cannot say enough good things about Olga. She was absolutely fantastic! We love seeing all the must-see things on our tours, but Olga was so knowledgeable about all of them as well. She was very patient with us an our questions as well. We learned so much, and are already looking forward to coming back so we can learn about more works of art with Olga.

Five Stars - Olga was incredible. She shared so much knowledge with us about the Louvre, the art and was warm and kind. Cannot say enough about our experience. The museum would not have been the same experience without her personal tour. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Inaccessible and Unengaging - My family and I greatly enjoyed seeing the masterpieces of The Louvre, including the Mona Lisa and Venus De Milo. However, our tour guide, Gilles, clouded the experience by seeming uninterested, unengaged, and ultimately ending our tour an hour before the scheduled end. Upon introduction, we requested to walk slowly and avoid stairs where possible, given one member’s recent injury. He often forgot about this, requiring multiple prompts to use elevators where applicable. Note for groups with disabilities: while there are elevators throughout the museum, they can be far apart making navigation difficult. Gilles ultimately did not lead us through the museum in a manner accessible via elevator. During the tour, Gilles did not seem to have a good sense of what my group was interested in- he would often speak for an extended period about topics or pieces that were not to my family’s taste while providing no additional information for pieces that were of particular interest (such as the Mona Lisa). Gilles also navigated around some areas of interest. We were not brought to the Code of Hammurabi or the Napoleon III apartments. We asked about the Code of Hammurabi, and were told “it’s all the way on the other side”, and our tour then concluded prematurely. Overall, The Lourve is wonderful and impressive, however unfortunately we didn’t get to experience it fully.
