Severine was friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humor. She made me feel at ease and learned a lot from her. Thank you for sharing your wealth of information.

Wouldn't visit the Louvre any other way! Saw all of the important / famous pieces and learned so much about art history and the artists!

I’m not someone who knows much about art or history, but our guide Omar made this tour incredible. His passion, storytelling, and personality made everything engaging and easy to follow. He brought the artworks to life with interesting stories and details we never would have known on our own. It ended up being one of the most memorable experiences of our trip. Highly recommend!

You get an Introduction to the Louve. It covers some French history, which I found very interesting. After the tour you are welcomed to stay and tour more on your own.

Adrienne the guide was magnificent. Great knowledge and engaging sense of humor. Also easy to understand. The entrance was a bit less streamlined than I wanted and the tour a little shorter given the money spent and the 20 people in the “small” group, but Adrien made up for that and overall it was worthwhile morning!

Our wonderful guide, Martine, shepherded our group effortlessly through the Louvre. She was exceptionally knowledgeable and good natured. Can’t imagine going there for the first time on our own. We skipped the huge line, had access to the group locker area, and were easily guided through the museum to the must-see’s. We had about 14 in our group and it was totally fine. Little single earbuds allow you to hear everything!

Our tour guide Severina was amazing, very knowledgeable and personable. The LOUVRE itself was an excellent experience to visit and overwhelming at the same time. So glad we took this tour with City Wonders via Vitor.

Claire was amazing and so detailed. We enjoyed her commentary and kindness. Her knowledge is superb. Strongly recommend her and this tour. The museum is too big to visit by yourself especially if it’s the first time at louvre.

Although the tour was 2+ hours, I felt as though he talked more than I saw. I have been on Louvre tours before and I felt as though he missed the mark. Fortunately for my companions, they saw the Mona Lisa so that was enough.

Departure point
The meeting point is not at the entrance of the Louvre. Meet our team at the Arc 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
