⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had the absolute best experience with Julien as our guide at the Louvre. He was incredibly informative and had a gift for connecting the history of the museum with other places we had visited during our trip, which really brought everything to life. His storytelling, knowledge, and ability to make the art and history feel personal made this tour stand out. It was worth every penny and, without question, the best tour we had during our two weeks in Paris. Highly recommend Julien to anyone visiting the Louvre!The Best Tour of Our Paris Trip!

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 !

While I like museums and the stories that art tells us through the millennia, I am no art history major and don’t know a lot. I just like learning. I usually don’t like tours. I’ve been on a few and have been very annoyed and disappointed— Until this experience. Julien had a strategy that met our goals. He was able to read us very quickly and understand how to tailor our tour with questions that made us think and build upon what we knew and don’t know. He was not pretentious yet incredibly knowledgeable, wise, and a seasoned Louvre fan! I learned about him via a friend who I trust. I, otherwise, would never have hired a private tour guide, or have joined any tour. You get what you pay for. It was AMAZING! I left with a new lense through which to view art and enjoy the museum experience without being an art history major. Hire him for your memorable Louvre experience! 🤔 I wonder if he goes to the Prado..Does the rating go to 12?

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

Julien was amazing! We asked Julien to gear our tour to our 2 grandchildren who are 10 and 8. From the moment we met Julien he focused on what would be of interest to them. Julien was engaging, fun, a wonderful listener, respectful of everyone’s questions and interests. The 4 adults in the group equally enjoyed the tour. Julien was able to bring alive what we were seeing. This tour was a highlight of our week in Paris. Thank you! The Louvre and Notre Dame with children

We really enjoyed our tour of the hidden gems with Lucien. He shared interesting lesser known facts about Paris' history and wove the details into the highlights of our tour. He even was prepared with a first aid kit when I was stung by a bee. Thank you so much, Lucien!Lucien shared an interesting perspective

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!

I have used Withlocals in many countries over the last 6 years. We have always had amazing guides but Julien was exceptional! My husband and my aunt both needed wheelchairs for our tour through the Louvre in Paris. Julien was very cognizant of their needs to the extent that he would kneel to get down to their eye level and speak about a specific work of art. Not only was he knowledgeable but he was really passionate about the works of art. My family learned so much! We could not have learned to appreciate the pieces he highlighted and felt fortunate to have Julien guide us through the museum!Julien: The best guide we have ever had

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

Julien was so flexible and adaptable to our group’s unique needs. We had a large enough group that we required two guides, so he and another guide (Emilie) paired up to take our two groups through an amazing Louvre experience. Julien’s enthusiasm for the art was contagious. He brought context and purpose to each piece, engaging our 3 teenagers to a genuine interest and appreciation. Julien’s knowledge went beyond the art, to the Louvre and French and Roman history.Enthusiastic and engaging!

My husband and I only had a short amount of time to visit Paris. I reached out to Lucien about a custom tour and he had great suggestions. He is extremely knowledgeable, and a good conversationalist. My husband and I loved the time spent on the tour. I feel like we got a better insight and feel for the city than we ever would have walking around sight seeing on our own. Thank you again Lucien for the fantastic tour. Lucien made our day! Highly recommended.

Julien was a wonderful guide through the Louvre for three adults and two kids - age 9 and 7 - who had never been. He took what would have been an incredibly overwhelming experience - as we only had 2-3 hours, and we were there at a very busy time period- and kept us on track to hit some famous highlights in that short window of time. He was a wealth of knowledge throughout, providing detailed history and interesting stories that entertained the kids and the adults. He also made a lot of effort to continually engage the kids - mixing in some fun games for them, asking them questions, and piquing their curiosity by tying stories to their interests. It was a great experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to get a depth, curated, and efficient tour of the louvre. Top Highlights of the Lourve with Kids

We booked Julien through a referral from a friend and this was easily one of the best things we did on our honeymoon. Julien was amazing. He made the Louvre feel personal, approachable, and honestly kind of magical. I’m not an art expert by any stretch, but he made everything feel interesting and easy to understand. The way he told the stories behind the paintings and sculptures really brought them to life. We didn’t have a direction or focus we wanted and entrusted our experience to him. He also picked up on the fact that we were on our honeymoon and added these thoughtful touches throughout the tour. He pointed out romantic pieces, shared cool little hidden spots, and just made the whole experience feel tailored to us. It didn’t feel like a tour, it felt like walking through the museum with a super knowledgeable friend who really cared about making it memorable for us. We walked away feeling inspired, grateful, and so glad we booked it. I could not recommend him enough. We will definitely be booking Julien again the next time we are in Paris.The Highlight of Our Honeymoon

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

Our family of adults really enjoyed our tour of the fabulous Musée D’Orsay. Bibiana is warm, engaging and very knowledgeable. We learned about how art evolved over time, as one group or movement of artists was influenced by and pushed the boundaries of the prior movement. I highly recommend her.

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!

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. Perfect Inspiration for an Artist

We had an excellent tour of the Musee D’Orsay with Henrick. It is obvious that he is extremely knowledgeable about art and history and the city of Paris and he is able to communicate his knowledge in a way that is engaging and lively and genuinely fun. I did the tour with my two teenagers. It is a testament to Henrick and his communicative style that even my teenagers were completely engaged and left the museum with a true appreciation for the art that we were able to see. I would absolutely recommend Henrick and the next time we are in Paris we will specifically request him for any tours that we do. Thank you Henrick for making our vacation and specifically our tour of the museum a special one! We really appreciate you.Excellent tour
