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

Bibiana was a wonderful guide, weaving a compelling story through our 2-hour tour. She was very knowledgeable about art and history, blending both subjects. The tour was quite informative and a great introduction to the Louvre. Super informative tour

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. Excellent tour guide and teacher

We were traveling from the United States with three teenagers. Fe took us on a tour of the Louvre. She was incredible and took great care to explain everything in a way that our entire party would understand. She also got us in very quickly and the front of most exhibits. She is simply awesome.Fe is incredible!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!

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!

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!

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

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

Fe was the perfect answer to our desire to see both the Louvre and Musee D'Orsay in the short 4-hour free time we had in Paris at the end of a cruise. She made the entire experience easy from ticket purchasing, meeting, skipping the lines and seeing the highlights of each museum. Her art history knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for sharing such certainly enhanced our art appreciation and made for a wonderful ending to our vacation!! We highly recommend Fe. Thanks, Fe.

This was our *second* tour with Fe – and just like the first time in Louvre, we left the Musée D'Orsay absolutely glowing. Fe isn't just a guide; she's a trained art historian with an incredible gift for storytelling. Her knowledge runs deep – not only about the paintings (which she brings to life with stunning detail and heart), but also about the museum’s architecture, the era’s cultural backdrop, and the kind of quirky fun facts that make you smile long after the tour is over. There’s a special energy Fe brings – a kind of vibrant, infectious enthusiasm that gently pulls you into the world of art, whether you're a lifelong lover or just beginning your journey. Some paintings felt almost alive, as if we were watching over the artist’s shoulder, with Fe’s words guiding us through brushstrokes, choices, and emotions. She has this rare ability to make every detail sparkle – and every guest feel like they're discovering art for the first time. We’ll definitely book with her again next time we’re in Paris. Thank you, Fe – you're a true gem! An unforgettable dive into art

Fe was so excited to walk our family of four around the Louvre, it made the whole experience even more enjoyable. She struck the perfect balance of insight and levity, keeping the teenagers engaged but not overwhelmed. She really enjoys her vocation, and it's contagious. We spent a bit over two hours together, but it felt like hanging out with an old friend. We've already recommended Fe to friends who are heading to Paris and will undoubtedly do so again countless times.Fabolous jaunt through the Louvre.

A lively and insightful tour of Montmartre touching on architecture, civic history, art, local crafts and Paris’s signature bakery seductions. Having mentioned that I was step-averse, our local guide, Bibiana, devised a way to get to the basilica with as few stairs as possible. She was open to detours and quickly got a sense of what in the neighbourhood appealed to us. The time flew by and, all in all, this was an educative and entertaining excursion.

My husband and I both agree that Bibiana was the greatest tour guide we’ve ever hired to tour an art museum. And we’re so glad that museum was The Louvre! Bibiana demonstrates a striking passion for the medieval and Renaissance art she showed us. Her knowledge of those works, the artists and their era, even the techniques used by each and what made each artist and piece unique was very evident. Bibiana was so patient and sweet with our two toddler sons and we feel like she became our friend in the two amazing hours we spent with her. We are looking forward to our next tour with Bibiana!Our best art museum tour guide, ever.

We had an enjoyable morning at the Louvre with Bibiana who is an expert in Renaissance Art. We started touring from the foundation of the Louvre understanding how the palace turned into a great museum before maneuvering between the most iconic exhibits of the Louvre. Bibiana's narratives was simple and precise. As a painting expert, she did not just throw out a bunch of information but instead she weaved a historical picture of how painting styles evolved and how an amateur could understand the story and thus appreciate each artwork.

Our family benefited greatly from Fe’s knowledge and expertise in art history. When we were greeted by a strike at the Louvre at the beginning of our scheduled tour with Fe, she didn’t miss a beat and used the opportunity to give us an outdoor tour of the grounds and surrounding areas, along with in-depth explanation of French history and the museum. Later, when we were allowed to enter the museum, Fe made up for lost time by bringing us on a whirlwind tour of the highlights of the museum, including the Mona Lisa to the immense delight of our youngest family members. Fe is a font of knowledge and she has exceptional interpersonal and communication skills. Fe Reveals the Highlights of the Louvre!

She was very attentive and knew all the elevator routes in the Louvre to help minimize the amount of stairs for my dad, which was very kind.
