Leave a reviewAwesome tour with knowledgable guide
Gian Peter Ochsner
My girlfriend and I booked an evening tour to see some famous art pieces of the Louvre. The tour met all our expectations and and our guide, Anastasia, was very knowledgable and friendly. She had a good sense of humour and could answer all our questions. I can highly recommend the tours with The Tour Guy.

Hugo, our tour guide was fantastic (even tho he was not on time). his background in Art History was invaluable for this tour. he pointed out many things in pieces of the art that we would not have known without his commentary. all in all, this was an incredible tour and will recommend to others. thank you.
Great Guide & Story Teller
Neal Bernstein
We have very high expectations and they were exceeded. Touring the Louvre at night was a super treat, and it wasn't crowded at all! Our guide, Ferit, had tons of energy, knew his stuff, kept us going on a fast pace, and is a great story teller. In other words, he didn't just provide facts. He is also a great teacher. Highly recommend this tour and Ferit! Neal
