We would like to say a very special thank you to Anastasia who made our first visit to the Louvre so memorable. Anastasia is incredibly knowledgeable, warm, friendly and committed to ensuring a wonderful tour for all. She knows the Louvre like the back of her hand as well as the rich history and technical knowledge behind each piece, and navigated the large crowds easily. Anastasia ensured we got an unforgettable viewing of the Mona Lisa at the beginning of the day. Anastasia is a standout tour guide of the many we’ve met throughout our six week Europe trip. Thank you so much, Anastasia! Lucy & Dan (Australians on our honeymoon on 29.12.2022)

I really enjoyed the Louvre. It was full of people AND exhibits! I couldn’t figure out how to get out though! I was on a layover and was very tired though! I didn’t realize SORTIE meant exit so Follow those Sortie signs with the pyramid and you won’t have to make 3 trips around the inside looking for it!

Fantastic value for money and the museum was so beautiful and clean and very well organised, lunch was very nice too and we had a very enjoyable visit, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit

Christophe was amazing. He engaged us in the rich history of the paintings. Both my kids loved it! We’re so glad to have taken this tour.
