Highly recommended - We've visited the Louvre before and wanted a different experience.
Our guide Olga certainly fulfilled our expectations. Obviously passionate about the Louvre and art in general, she provided us with some gems and insight into some of the artwork and the building - which in itself was very interesting.
We were a party of 5 and given that the Louvre was crowded and noisy, an audio guide system may have elevated our overall experience.

Gilles was top notch. - Gilles made it a most delightful experience for us. He spoke English very well, taught us so much (so many things about art and artists that you won’t learn in books or on the internet) and was very pleasant and humourous. He would have been our choice for all private tours, had we known. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
