Congratulations for employing Ivana! Ivana was superb, has extensive knowldege and passion for art and history. The tour ran smoothly and in 2 hours we had a completed an excellent introduction to the Louvre and seen some masterpieces. Ivana was warm and friendly with an in-depth knowledge of the masterpieces as well as the surrounding artworks. This tour was inspiring and kept 2 adults and an 11 year old engaged and interested to the end.

Our guide Phillippe was extremely well-versed in not just the works of art themselves, but the history of the Louvre as well. His ability to describe each object from multiple viewpoints aided in our appreciation and enjoyment of the entire experience. His tour was also well-paced, thorough without being rushed. I had been to the Louvre 4-5 times previously and with Phillippe's expert knowledge, I gained a while new perspective. Kudos to Phillippe! Highest recommendation!

Hoa was an amazing guide! She has a wealth of knowledge and her passion for art was palpable. We are so grateful to her for this experience and know it wouldn't have been the same without her. She pointed out details that we never would have noticed and provided history and context for each piece of art. Once in a lifetime experience! Thank you for helping us check this off our bucket list!!

Our tour guide was exceptional. Verdy, I believe was her name, made our experience delightful. Her insights, explanations and pleasant bearing made this an educational and fun time. The Louvre was grand and awe-inspiring. Booking was simple. Thanks so very much to Verdy, and to Headout for a wonderful experience.

Skipping the line and having an overview of selected masterpieces was a stress free experience at the Louvre, where the quantity of things to see can be seriously overwhelming. All well led by a funny, knowledgeable guide.

Your experience

Why should you visit the Louvre?

Once a Royal Palace, the Louvre was later converted into a public museum at the end of the French Revolution. Today, the Louvre houses one of the most expansive art collections in the world, with pieces from all periods. Notably, the museum has pieces from the Egyptian civilization, the Mesopotamian civilization, the Greek and Roman civilizations, along with pieces of Islamic art. Visiting the Louvre allows you to see all these art pieces, including Da Vinci’s most famous work – the Mona Lisa. If you enjoy history and classical art, make sure you visit the Louvre at least once while in Paris.
