Our guide Lititia was excellent. We had only small group of 6 persons and has whispered to use do it is convenient and hear everything she said. We learned about the history of the Louvre museum through the time up to the addition of the Pyramids entrance by I.M. Pei. The ChineseAmerican Architect. It imitated the Egyptian Pyramids in Giza. as the Louvre is near Place de la Concorde which the Obelis from Luxor was located. We saw all the highlights of the museum including the Venus de Milo, the winged victory and Mona Lisa and many more. We could not do it without the guide. We had to wait in line but we had timed tickets very convenient. We know all the history of sculptures and painting. It is a memorable. This was my second visit to the Louvre, the first time was in 2005 without guide but there were less tourists then. So I highly recommend this semi private tour guide if you only have a limited time in Paris.

Sophie did a great job getting us in, and seeing the main points of the Louvre. Once the tour was over, we walked a bit more through the museum then left. Exiting the Louvre was difficult because the signs didn't clearly say where to go. We are glad we attended and with a guide because without Sophie we would've had no idea where to go and what to do.

We had a wonderful experience with Mareve! It was a rainy day and the Louvre had some issues in the morning so the entrance was very crowded and she handled the changing logistics with ease! Once inside she provided clear guidance and a good mix of historical context and artistic insight. We would definitely recommend a guided louvre visit and Mareve in particular!
