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!

I had the BEST time with Fernanda and am so glad I chose her. She’s insanely smart and funny and really had a concise plan for the tour that allowed me to really learn about art at this time. I have been to Musée d’Orsay a few times and it is my favorite in Paris. Fernanda shined a new light on it for me and I left feeling a new appreciation for it. She had a plan but didn’t hesitate to deviate based on the conversation we were having. She quizzed me a little on the way which was fun and informative and overall it was just a lovely, fresh way to see the museum with someone who knows it and art so well. Thank you Fernanda!Fernanda is the perfect guide!

24 junio 2025

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.

23 junio 2025

We took the Pastery tour with lovely Alexia who skillfully guided us between hidden spots, bakeries and parks in an interesting and fun way. The challange was not the easiest, really warm weather and us already starting the day with another tour and on the day of the festival "the day of the music", that brought half of Paris to the streets, Alexia had done her homework in advance, having multiple bakery options, in case of pasteries beeing sold out and even replanning on the go for a ice cream stop in the heat by choosing the lesser known location to avoid the huge lines at the main shop. The thing that really stood out with the tour was the truely great effort and huge heart Alexia showed during the tour and doing so in a genuin way that made it feel like beeing shown around by a friend. We had a wonderful afternoon with Alexia amongst delicious pastry, magical surroundings and streets filled with music. Choose a few hours, an afternoon or a full day with Alexia showing you arround, you woun´t regret it!Fun guidance with alot of heart and effort

Emilie was a wonderful guide and she showed us the best of the Louvre in 3 hours. She made it fun with our grandchildren (10/12) by giving them picture cards to find within the artwork. They stayed engaged the whole time. Her love and passion for the museum was very evident and it made us appreciate this special place even more.Exploring the Louvre with kids

Es gab leider nur drei Stationen, wir haben viel über die Kunst in Montmatre erfahren, aber wir waren enttäuscht, dass es wenig Probierstationen gab. Zudem gehörten diese auch nicht zu den Highlights des Viertels.More culture less food

(About local Fe)

20 junio 2025

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!

Fe guided my husband and me on a two hour tour of Musee d’Orsay. She was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and a master at maneuvering through the crowds. 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!

True Marais specialist! Alexia knows the details of the Marais’ history, along with where the best spots are for pastries (gluten free or regular). Lovely to get such a unique perspective on everything from the public buildings to the parks and stunning back alleys you would otherwise miss. Knowledgable and adaptable

Ali provided a very enjoyable food and history tour of Montmartre, Paris. All the bites were classics like quiche, macaroons, charcuterie, chocolate- but all very high quality and delicious. We were pleasantly surprised by how much history was provided as we would our way up Montmartre to the Sacré-Coeur Basilica at the top where beautiful views of the city awaited.Food and History with Wonderful Guide

Alexia hat mich und meine Familie auf eine Food Tour durch Monmartre mitgenommen. Sie war unglaublich freundlich, hat uns tolle Ecken gezeigt und viele Tipps gegeben. Das Essen war vorrangig Süßes, hier hätte ich mir mehr herzhafte Alternativen und auf dem Weg vielleicht noch einen leckeren Wein gewünscht. Die Kinder hat es aber begeistert ;-) Vielen Dank, wir hatten durch dich einen tollen Tag!! Tolle Führung

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

Fer made our 2-hour visit to the Louvre so much fun and full of meaning. She’s not just super knowledgeable about art and history— she’s also amazing at telling stories and keeping you hooked the whole time. My 13-year-old daughter was completely engaged (which says a lot!) and we both walked out saying we wished we had booked more time with her. Thank you, Fer, for such a special and unforgettable experience. We'll definitely be back for more next time!Loved our Louvre tour with Fer!

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

Bibiana was FANTASTIC ! She made visiting the Louvre such an interactive and fun experience. As an art history novice, I have historically found this museum to be over whelming. She unraveled some of the secrets of the museum and its treasures in a way that made the museum feel alive. She is energetic and passionate about the treasures of the Louvre. Well done Bibiana !!!Louvre 101 for the novice

Julien was a wonderful guide. He took us to all the popular spots and many other places in the louvre that many people miss. Every minute was well spent and filled with a colorful, educational explanation. Julien is well worth the fee and a tour guide is essential for the louvre as far as I am concerned because of its immense size. Great time!

Sophie was wonderful and very accommodating of our family! We had travel delays that compromised our tour time and she flexed right along with us. I enjoyed the “quality over quantity” tour and was glad to have learned in depth about a handful of this vs. seeing everything and understanding very little. Were I to be staying here longer I would have enjoyed another tour hosted by Sophie to see yet another corner of this lovely museum.Fantastic Tour

Maxime was gracious enough to extend our time with him to be sure we did not feel rushed and could get a true feeling for the Montmartre area. He took us to a few small vignettes which I feel sure we wouldn't have found on our own. We were pleased with his candid answers to questions about his life and educational opportunities and what living in Paris is like for many. He was personable and by the end of out hours together, we felt a genuine connection!Montmartre explored to the fullest

We loved our Mountmarte tasting, walking tour for 3 reasons: 1- Alexia, what a gem! And a true local, she was knowledgeable and gave us so many experiences we would never have known on our own. 2- the tastes! Again, nothing we would have known to try as visitors, and new and different things then i’ve tried before. Great balance of sweet and savory. 3-Anecdotes and history, alongside incredible views and sights. Incredible way to experience the city! I would not hesitate to book a tour with Alexia; the perfect way to get to know a new city! Lovely!

28 mayo 2025

You get a lot of new insights with this truly knowledge and elegant guide. Our tour to the Louvre and surroundings was due to our request just a three-hour tour in the Louvre. We saw a lot, still just a small part of the museum. Since we are interested in art and not scoring tourist points, we skipped the Mona Lisa. But we saw many masterpieces from different time periods. We also visited a quieter part of the Louvre, the French painters that you do not find in other museums. That got us also insight into French history and court life. So, we learned a lot due to our extremely knowledgeable guide Sophie. She is really a lady, smartly dressed and beautiful. She was also considerate and flexible. This was important to us since my wife do not walk very fast and uses two sticks. So, I can really recommend Sophie and the tour. Get new insights with this knowledge guide
