Hi there! Nice to meet you

Paola

I love sharing my knowledge and experiences with you but I also love to listen about you. I admit having a little thing for mysteries, the unknown and new age stuff but I could never consider myself an expert in these subjects. I first studied accounting and finance and worked in the oil industry but I left all behind to come to study at the Sorbonne a bachelor in Art History and Archeology, a lifelong dream. I immediately felt in love with Paris and today I feel the luckiest girl for being able to live in this beautiful city full of art, history, and of course full of mysteries.

We spent an amazing morning in the Louvre with Paola and cannot recommend her highly enough. Her energy and passion for art just brought so much more to our visit linking the pieces, the location and time within history, keeping our interest throughout. Paola also knew how to get us in using the quickest lines, locate the bathrooms as well as move us through all the crowds to make the most of our short time. Thanks Paola!Amazing morning at the Louvre

Paola nos hizo pasar un rato estupendo en el Louvre! Llegamos muy cansado por un contratiempo y se adaptó totalmente a nuestra situación. Tiene empatía y recursos. Sabe mucho y nos dio mucha información sobre el museo, las obras de arte y la historia. Es muy amena y se nota que disfruta con su trabajo. Muy buena experiencia! Entretenida y flexible

We had an amazing time at the Louvre with Paola, she is knowledgeable and easy going. She was able to keep us and my kids engaged during the whole tour. We really enjoyed visiting the museum with her, and understanding what’s behind the most important pieces of art we saw. I can’t recommend her highly enough, when we’re back, she’ll be our choice for sure! Amazing Louvre experience

Paola was a great guide for our Louvre tour. She was engaging, friendly, very knowledgeable, gave the right level of detail, and knew how to effectively get around the Louvre which meant that we saw a lot on our brief tour - everything we wanted to plus more. Highly recommended.Great tour

Paola was the perfect guide for the Louvre. She has a deep knowledge of art and is very passionate about conveying relevant information about history, the artists, and the artwork. She adeptly navigated the museum to ensure I saw a representative sample of the major pieces. She helped me to then continue touring on my own. Thank you Paola for a marvelous experience! Amazing tour of the Louvre!

This was the first time we've used a local, private guide and were a little apprehensive. We have been on multiple tours in past usually Rick Steves tours where the guides have been first rate 10+ star. Paola certainly hit that high bar. Half our group had been to Louvre before but we saw parts of the museum that we had not seen in the past. Paola was obviously very passionate about art and it comes across at every turn. She was also able to describe how a work fit into the world in which it was created. No hesitation in providing a 10+ star recommendationhighly Recommend

Paola was a delight and we really enjoyed our tour of the Louvre! She started the day bringing our girls (9 and 6 yrs old) chocolates and was very kind to them. She was patient and answered all my Kindergarten’s & 3rd graders questions about the art. At the end of our trip, I asked my girls what they’re favorite thing we did in Paris was and they both said was the Lourve 🥰 This made my art history majors heart full ❤️ Thank you Paola for a wonderful tour!!! We recommend her for any art tours.Delightful Day at the Louvre!
