We loved our tour of the Louvre with Julien. He is extremely passionate about Paris, and art, and you could easily feel that in the way he talks about the paintings. Our family listened to every word he has told us, and wished we had more time to go through the museum. Great tour!
Julien was a wonderful tour guide! He really explained the meanings behind the art and was able to engage my children in all the paintings and art that we saw! Now the whole family will look and view art differently! Thank you Julien!Best tour!
Julien was absolutely fantastic!Fantastic!
Julien was absolutely fantastic!Fantastic!
We had a few changes in what we wanted to achieve for the tour and he was great in accommodating us. This is my fourth visit and I still learned something new with him. Knowledgeable and Great
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!
Julien took us on tours of the Orsay and the Louvre. We would have been totally lost without him! We are not big museum people but he made sure to show us the necessities and introduce us to some lesser known pieces as well, all while keeping it interesting. He was extremely knowledgeable and fun. We highly recommend him! Julien was fantastic!
Julien is full of valuable information on art, history and the Republic. He is knowledgable and engaging. He was aware of my interest in painting so spent time talking about techniques used by artists, especially brush strokes and colors used in shadowing and blending.
Julien spent significant time on Delacroix whose work was of great interest to me.
Highly recommended!!Enjoyable and informative louvre tour.
Julien was our guide for a tour in het Louvre a week ago, for me and my twelve year old daughter. Julien advise us to start a little early (8:45 am), to be able to see the Mona Lisa before large groups of (Asian) tourists poured into the hall where the painting is exhibited. And good advice it was….we had pretty much uninterrupted views of the painting for about 5 minutes. We experienced a small thrill from running through the hallways and the corridors of the Louvre (just follow the guide...) to be at the painting as soon as possible.
Apart from this nice episode, Julien is very kind and friendly and has extensive knowledge of the Louvre building, its history and occupants and the artwork on display, for instance the 18th century French painters, the jewellery, the Greek and Roman statues etc. etc. Also he asked my daughter a lot of questions about the museum and paintings and involved her a lot in the explanation of the artworks. Sometimes Julien spoke a little fast for her (English is not our native tongue) but she enjoyed the tour as much as I did.

We enjoyed it a lot
My family of four selected Julien to guide us through the Louvre to see some highlights. I had sent him a note just the evening before requesting a few things to see with as much context and story telling as he could provide. We saw everything I requested and then some, but more importantly, Julien pointed out things that brought the artwork to life and gave it meaning, providing history, context, and fun facts. He was engaging with the whole family, and I highly recommend him! I so enjoyed this tour with Julien. Big bonus that when you book with a guide, you skip the long admission lines. Julien is excellent!
