Louvre Half-Day Private Tour

Wonderful experience! We enjoyed every minute of our tour, we were able to ask any question and get a detailed answer, and we were able to customize our tour. We will absolutely recommend this tour to all of our friends.

This January we took a mother-daughter trip to Pairs with just myself (mom) and my 17-year-old daughter. We were referred by a friend to Pierre-yves and did a two day excursion with him. We saw Versailles and Montmartre on day 1 and on day 2 a city tour, including the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower. Each day he picked us up at our hotel in his private vehicle, and drove us to our locations. Day 1 we had mentioned to him in passing that we had yet to have amazing croissants, so on day two he actually had them waiting for us in the backseat of the car, which was so very sweet and kind. His extensive knowledge of not only world history and events, but also his complex understanding of art and its interplay with politics of the time was beyond comparison. He really was able to put the pieces that we were seeing and the architectural style into perspective with what was going on politically at the time. He was also able to keep everything light and fun for my 17-year-old daughter by showing her interesting places that were popular on the Internet or things that were seen in the Netflix series Emily in Paris. He was more than happy to include unplanned stops during our tour to include places that she saw on Instagram and wanted to visit. We took several of his dining recommendations that were not on our radar and I have to say I was more impressed with the restaurants and the bars that he recommended than anything that I had seen on travel websites or on Pinterest. He was available to us, even after our tour ended for the next couple of days through WhatsApp, to help us with more dining recommendations, and reservations to some champagne tasting bars. Also to note, he does speak perfect “American style “ English as his wife is an American. He has a very fun and flexible guide in addition to his extensive knowledge of Paris, France, world history, art architecture and politics. We will definitely contact him again on our next trip to Paris and plan to use him for excursions to both Champaigne,Normandy , and the Loire valley region in the future.

We spent several days touring Paris with Pierre-Yves and I he helped us maximize our time as we only had a few days to tour. We saw many areas and he managed to hit all the highlights without feeling rushed . He knows his way around, speaks English well, and is a wealth of historical information . I would highly recommend his services and won’t hesitate to use him again in the future !

Pierre-Yves is a gem! He made our experience stress free and VIP. He met us at the Louvre and took us in through a private entrance avoiding all lines. He is patient, kind, extremely knowledgeable and professional. He has a true passion for art history and can explain so many details that we would have missed had he not been guiding us through. We are truly thankful to have connected with Pierre and would highly recommend!

Pierre-Yves created an unforgettable experience at the Lourve. While I've been a few times before, our visit with Paris Guided was entirely different. Pierre-Yves' deep knowledge of French history brought new meaning to the art. It was the first time I didn't feel overwhelmed by the vast collection at the museum. Pierre-Yves knew exactly how to navigate the different exhibits to give us a truly rich experience. Besides his knowledge, Pierre-Yves is the charming French man with perfect English who will make any tour fun and entertaining. He is who you want to help you discover the hidden gems of Paris! I'd do this tour or any of his tours again!
