Cela fait plusieurs fois que nous travaillons avec Bibiana. En tant qu'entreprise nous faisons régulièrement appel à elle pour faire visiter Paris à nos collègues lorsqu'ils arrivent le week-end avant leur semaine à l'entreprise. Bibiana est une excellente guide, elle a su, à chaque fois, s'adapter à nos demandes : selon si nos visiteurs avaient, ou non déjà visité Paris, le lieu de départ du tour ou bien le lieu d'arrivée... Très bonne communication avec Bibibiana, elle est très réactive et flexible. Nos visiteurs ont à chaque fois été conquis par leur visite de Paris, ils sont tous unanimes, Bibiana est fantastique et passionnée et cela se ressent ! Merci Bibiana ! Excellente guide !

From the beginning, meeting her in the courtyard of the Louvre, she was full of energy and got us going. It was great to go the "back way" into the museum that the tour guides have access to. Fe had a set plan and route for us to see the popular and well known pieces but along the way she gave us interesting history and background of the museum and the history and development of art. She helped us understand and see the changes over time in how sculptors and artists changed their styles and forms. It felt like we got an advanced understanding of art history as part of the package. After our time was up, she also helped us get oriented to go and see other pieces that were on our list. An all around enjoyable and informative experience. Loved Fe's knowledge of the art

Bibiana was a good tour guide to help our family see the Louvre - learning more about the evolution of art (with examples along the way) and the historical important pieces in the Louvre. We were a family with 2 teen boys and we were all occupied for the time. She also helped us get in quickly to get the tour started. She had headphones as it was so crazy busy in there. Knowledgable - great way to see the Louvre

Highly recommend Fe as a tour guide of both these amazing museums. Fe is so passionate and knowledgeable she knew her way around both museums like they were her own home and was able to give us a progressive understanding of how things changed throughout the ages. Not to mention being able to avoid all the crowds and queues taking us to the best spots and seeing things we would never have found on our own. For 3 adults with no cultural background we walked away with such a great appreciation for the art and artefacts we saw. Highly recommend Fe as she is fun and easy to talk to and had a great way of including us all which was a tough task given we had two adult males in our party who had zero artistic understanding. Thankyou Fe for such a great day.Tours of The Louvre and Musee d' Orsay

We had a great tour with Bibiana! To be completely honest, the Louvre is a VERY tough place to visit right now. The crowds were unbelievable. I am glad we went because I wanted my kids to experience it, but I am extremely happy we went with this private tour. I can't imagine trying to visit the museum in its current state (in terms of capacities) without an expert helping us to navigate the space. Bibiana helped us beat a few lines. She was also very patient with my son (he is 8) who was struggling with the crowds and noise. Private tours are of course pricey, but in this case we definitely found the cost to be worth it. Great tour!

Bibiana had to completely adjust our tour after Notre Dame was shut down by the authorities. She came up with a Rive Gauche impromptu itinerary and helped us get BACK to the cathedral after the emergency. We appreciated her positive spirit of can-do and learned much about Paris.Guide showed great flexibility!

We loved our tour of Musee d'Orsay with Bibiana! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and patient! The kids (age 7 and 11) and adults all learned a lot, and we really appreciated how Bibiana took us thoughtfully through the exhibits and helped us understand the history of artistic movements. Bibiana was very understanding of the kids' ages and attention spans (and need for a bathroom break!). We'd definitely book another tour with Bibiana and this company!Fantastic tour for kids

Fe did so much more than throw a few facts out way; she really explained the history of the paintings we viewed, what was important about them and in them and how each artist influenced the next generation of artists and art movements. We learned so much and had context to match with the beauty of the art itself. Fe was a pleasure to walk with; she’s a fountain of information and just a lovely person. Best tour!

Emilie was so flexible and adaptable to our group’s unique needs. We had a large enough group that we required two guides, so she and another guide (Julien) paired up to take our two groups through an amazing Louvre experience. Emilie was very knowledgeable about the artwork and the Louvre with the surrounding area. She was warm and friendly, and cheerfully answered questions. Her guidance increased our Louvre experience ten-fold.Fantastic team work!

We wanted to book a tour to make the most of our Louvre experience both for us and our children aged 11 and 13 rather than be overwhelmed with such an huge collection of art and the crowds. We are not art experts and wanted to have a tour guide help us to get the most from the experience and enhance our understanding and appreciation of the amazing and notable pieces on display. We weren’t sure booking a group tour would keep them engaged and give us what we were after so we opted for a personal tour with Bibiana. We found Bibiana to be warm, friendly and fun and in our time together she covered the early history of the Louvre when it was a palace showing us the old foundations and taking us back in time in the history of France before helping enlighten us on the evolution of Greek and Roman sculptures and art. Both my husband and I felt Bibiana gave us a whole new appreciation for the more famous pieces by classical masters and by the time we parted we felt like experts and could admire the art in a whole new way. We appreciated that Bibiana also made sure to engage our children asking them questions and pointing out aspects to them throughout the tour as well. We were able to skip the line to enter through an alternative entry which was also a bonus and time saver given we visited during the Summer when crowds are at their peak. Overall I definitely felt touring with Bibiana enhanced our overall Louvre experience. A fantastic Louvre experience

We had a wonderful tour with Emilie! She was so friendly and knowledgeable and kept our jet-lagged group of 4 engaged throughout our two hours. We knew we would be tired after an overnight flight and wanted to see the highlights of the museum (Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, Venus de Milo, etc.), and she showed us all of those and more. I especially appreciated seeing some of the original stone of the palace from the lower level and learning the original history of the location and museum. Emilie was so kind and informative. We would book another tour with her in a heartbeat! Wonderful tour of Le Louvre

Bibiana has a very special way of teaching you how to see art as it has developed thru the eyes of the artist thru out time. She has mastered how to engage all people from a variety of ages and previous knowledge and add to that. In addition she is lovely to be with and spend time with. We could have spent many days with her and continued learning something new each day. Art historian extraordinaire

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If I could give Fe 20 stars or hearts, I would! My daughter Nikki and I had an absolutely unforgettable experience with her today. She’s not just a guide, she’s a true storyteller with a wealth of knowledge and contagious passion. Fun, animated, and incredibly engaging, Fe brought every piece of art to life (and made us laugh with her “Italian hands” joke!). We felt a real connection with her, and the tour was everything I could have hoped for and more. Thank you, Fe! You made our day at d’Orsay magical!From Monet to Magic, Fe at the d’Orsay!

We had the best time with Fe as our guide. She took us through the highlights of the museum unwinding the history of the development of impressionism, which made the art interesting to even my 12 year old who was not particularly excited about 2 hours in an art museum! Fe was enthusiastic and excited about art history and her knowledge and ability to explain about each work in a fun and exciting way was way beyond our expectations! This was the BEST way to tour a large art museum, especially with kids! Both kids, 10 and 12, thought it was fantastic and that she was amazing. If we were in Paris longer, I definitely would have booked Fe for a tour of the Louvre as well. Fe was fantastic!!

We met the smiling Bibiana in front of the Musee D'Orsay, which had been unexpectedly closed for technical reasons. The queues outside were kilometric! Bibiana skillfully navigated us through the crowds and has us inside the building within minutes. Bibiana abounds with natural enthusiasm when sharing her knowledge of the museum and its art collection. Rather than just detailing the works present, she explained their fundamental, historical importance in creating/promoting the various artistic movments, Absolutely fascinating and thoroughly recommendable!Perfect guide for a perfect museum!

Our family of four loved our Louvre tour with Emilie! I told her our daughters' ages in advance and she prepared a special tour for them, and made sure to point out things of interest for their age level. She saved us a TON of time from skipping the entry line, to being able to use the group visit rest room, to making sure we saw all the important works within our two hours there (the kids can only really muster so much time in a museum before they start losing it :)). Her knowledge of the art and the history was fantastic, and she answered all our questions patiently. She really explained the history behind each painting and made it interesting for all of us. We learned a ton and she was worth every penny. I highly recommend her!Fantastic Louvre tour with Emilie!

We were delighted with our tour withe Fe: she structured the tour according to our interests and requests. Even though we were late and our tour was shortened, Fe made the most of our time and showed us parts of the museum we would not have seen on our own. She is extremely knowledgable and enthusiastic about art, history, museums and Paris, and it was a pleasure spending the time with her. On our next trip to Paris we will arrange another tour with her. A Great Experience with Fe in the Louvre.

Fe was amazing. We loved it. The tour was great and she was incredibly knowledgeable. Would not hesitate to book with her again. The only thing I would mention-which is a Tours with Locals issue, unrelated to Fe- is that the tour times listed aren’t necessarily available if tickets are already sold out through the main Louvre site. For example we booked a 9a-11a tour planning on hustling to the Mona Lisa with a smaller viewing crowd but even though she had us pre-book tickets, they were sold out at that time and the earliest available were 10 which allows for a 9:30 entry. Seems like not a big deal but changed our timing of plans for the day and made the Mona Lisa viewing meh. Fe was excellent, made the most of it, and gave us extra tour time so it’s definitely not a Fe issue. She was truly was an exceptional guide. Just double check the Louvre site when you are deciding on time and buy tickets early!! Great tour!

We learned a lot and saw all of the high points that could be seen in that time frame. She took pics of us at key spots and she was so sweet. Although she wasn’t available to take us through the Louvre the following day, she saw us there with another guide and made a point to come say hello. Great morning with Fe!Top notch tour!

Fe was great helping us with questions, guiding us before even booking with her. We met her outside the Louvre where the magic all started with detailed explanations on certain aspects outside before she helped us quickly navigate the entrance. Inside, we had the best time learning about the museum pieces with Fe's insight and knowledge. She knows so much about the pieces and was able to connect them with other museums we were at recently in London and Paris. She even gave us some things to look out for in upcoming places we were visiting. Her guidance was one of our highlights for our two week European vacation. Thanks.Best Museum Tour Ever

Bibiana met us at the Musée D'Orsay and gave us a private tour based on my interests as an artist. The transition from Neoclassicism to Impressionism was brought to life for us based on Bibiana's profound knowledge and addictive enthusiasm. We were so enthralled with her story, we were barely aware of the time, or the crowds of visitors around us. I would highly recommend Bibiana as a Paris museum guide.
