Easy to locate our guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about the museum. Spoke English very well. We needed to depart the group earlier and our guide arranged the tour to see the high points so we did not miss out.

We had Pierre as our English speaking guide. He is a very knowledgeable guide sharing essential information of the artworks/ sculptures. With the long 3 hours tour, Pierre would keep us engaged by asking us questions or throwing some funny jokes. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. It would have been a struggle to navigate the Louvre museum without Pierre.

Our tour with Hugo was one of the absolute highlights of our Paris trip. He began by giving us the history of Paris and the Louvre, which immediately helped us understand the museum in a deeper way. I really appreciated that he didn’t jump straight into the highlights — he set the stage with context and storytelling that made everything more meaningful. Hugo is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. His explanations of the artworks, the artists, and the historical background were clear, memorable, and full of energy. You can tell he truly loves what he does. Just a small note for future guests: although the tour is listed as 2.5 hours, the first 30 minutes include security, coat check, and entry. The actual guided portion is about 2 hours. We honestly wished it lasted longer because Hugo was that good! We highly recommend Hugo. If you want a tour that is informative, captivating, and delivered by someone who genuinely cares about the experience, he’s the guide to choose.

Louvre was an amazing place to visit, our guide was great and kept us moving and together. On a negative note, was just the number of people in Le Louvre, but I suppose that is to be expected.

The tour was great. Didn’t have to wait in line to enter the museum. Pierre our tour guide was the best. He took an extra 10m to showed us some really important paintings that we probably would have missed. An amazing overall experience.

Departure point
The meeting point is not at the entrance of the Louvre. Meet our team at the Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel. This huge arch features a horse-drawn chariot on top. With your back to the entrance of the Louvre Pyramid, you will spot it across the road, just before the entrance to the Tuileries Garden.Return details
