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.

A big thanks to Paula for a brilliant tour of the Louvre… we learnt so many interesting facts and stories. We were a family of 4 with 2 children aged 11 and 8, and Paola managed to make it interesting for all of us!Fantastic Louvre Tour with Paola

I was passing through for a day and wanted to explore the Louvre. I could not have asked for a better guide. She was genuinely excited to share her vast knowledge of art history along with Parisian history and did so with a warmth, kindness, and patience. I will definitely have her show me around the museum again next time I’m in town. Amazing!

Paola and her tour were ah-mazing! We toured the Louvre with her and her knowledge about so many pieces, the building itself, the artists, literally everything, was exceptional. She also came equipped with listening devices for each of us to wear in one ear so that we could hear her even if we were a little distance away. The Louvre is very crowded and loud, and these devices saved the day. Plus I wouldn't want to miss a word she said because it was all so fascinating.Exceptional

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
