Louvre Highlights For Sure - Ruth was engaging, and our kids (9 & 13) enjoyed the experience, asked questions, and paid attention. We saw the well-known masterpieces (Mona Lisa, Victory/Nike statue, Venus de Milo), and Ruth showed us several other amazing pieces of art. She took time to explain things about the artwork, compared similar pieces, and helped us enjoy the experience. Ruth was also sure to show us the Fortress. We had a great day.

Fantastic Louvre tour for families - We had an amazing tour with Tatiana. She did a fantastic job keeping our son (age 10) engaged and interested, while making the tour interesting for us as well. We chose a three hour tour, which was perfect for us, but my son started fading around 2.5 hours...Tatiana kept him pepped up and going, but if you have young children, consider 3 hours definitely the max! Going to the museum with a guide that can explain why what you are looking at matters makes all the difference. I'm so glad we booked this tour!

Wonderful Tour for Families - Fantastic tour! Tatiana did a wonderful job keeping our son interested and engaged on a 3 hour tour of the Louvre. He’s 10 and was starting to fade towards the end but she kept him going and we saw the amazing highlights with the background info to go with. Definitely recommend!!

Winged Victory statue and the Nike story was my favorite attraction. - We had a spectacular day visiting the Louvre museum. Our guide. Lauranne was absolutely incredible. She was so helpful and so kind and willing to answer literally any questions no matter how silly they were. :) She worked her magic and was able to get our r children right in front of the Mona Lisa for a photo op, which is an experience they will never forget.

More than worth the price - Absolutely worth the price. Private guided 2 hour tour was just enough to dip our toes into the museum. Our guide Joanna Cendlak was the best tour guide we have ever had. Interacted with both our teenager and our youngest (2yr) seemlessly and we had plentt of time at the highlights of the museum.

Great way to enjoy the Louvre with children! - Anne was a lovely tour guide and kept our 6 year-old interested for a full two hours while we enjoyed the art. She also knew the quickest ways to get from point to point so we didn't waste time lost. I would definitely recommend this tour for those traveling with kids.
