We had an incredible experience as a family of four with our two young children, ages 6 and 4. Our guide, Astrid, was absolutely phenomenal. Her deep knowledge of French art, history, and the Louvre’s artifacts was impressive, but what truly set her apart was her ability to engage our children. She kept them entertained with treasure hunts and fascinating facts about the paintings, making the visit enjoyable for all of us. This was one of our most memorable trips to the Louvre—both educational for the adults and magical for the kids. Astrid made it an unforgettable experience, and we highly recommend her to anyone planning a visit!
I love the guide Zic, he was knowledgeable and patient. The tour could be longer. Overall fantastic time.
