A perfect tour experience - Claudio was absolutely fantastic. This review is for his Louvre tour, but he took us on tours of the Louvre and Versailles (on consecutive days). We are a family of four, with two kids (ages 11 and 14) and he did an incredible job engaging each of us and making sure everyone was enjoying their visits and learning throughout. It's pretty incredible when you take long tours of these enormous sites with kids these ages and hear absolutely zero complaints - that is a testament to how great Claudio was. Claudio was also a true pro - he knew all the ins and outs of these vast sites, and all the tricks for ensuring that we never got stuck in a line or a crowd, and we moved through both tours seamlessly. Skipping the lines at these sites is pretty incredible when you see how incredibly long and frustrating those waits can be. What particularly impressed me was how he was able to effortlessly customize the tour on the fly - when we first met him, he asked each of us what we were interested in seeing (specifically and more generally), and then he instantly put together a plan that showed us everything we wanted and much more without a pause. Again, the Louvre in particular is absolutely massive and overwhelming, but he somehow was able to instantaneously put together an visit for us that hit the highlights, catered to our interests, showed us new things, and didn't leave us frustrated or exhausted. The best part was how he tied everything we saw at the Louvre into Versailles the next day - there were so many fantastic moments of "remember when we saw THAT yesterday - well here is how this connects to THIS that you're seeing today." That showed me that he was really thinking deeply about our experiences and had a real command of art, history, and these fantastic sites. I cannot recommend Claudio more enthusiastically.

Amazing Louvre Tour - Claudio was a Fantastic Louvre Guide! Family of 4, with 2 teens from the US, and he kept us informed and entertained the entire time. Loved learning about the Louvre history from the beginning. Seeing the beauty of early art sculptures, facades and paintings and learning a little history lesson as well. We couldn’t have experienced the Louvre any better than with Claudio!

Don’t hesitate to book - Claudio was a fantastic guide. We were 3 generations ( 75 year old and a 7 and 9 year old) and everyone enjoyed him. The was a great storyteller and communicator, and used additional tools that helped bring the history and art to life. He was also great with logistics and getting us into the best entrance despite a strike. I would book again without hesitation.

Best of the Louvre - We chose this tour with Claudio because of his excellent reviews, and he still exceeded our high expectations. He is an excellent communicator and so knowledgeable. His delivery is educational, humorous, and engaging. He also took extra care to communicate logistics and skip the lines. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend. We would not want to take on the Louvre without him!

A weekend in Paris - The guide Claudio was extremely kind, available to answer our questions and those of the boys as well as being very exhaustive and interesting

Fantastic tour of the Louvre with a great knowledge of the Louvre’s history and paintings. Very enjoyable. - We had the best tour of the Louvre with Claudio. He had a great knowledge and sense of humour. A real enthusiast and we would definitely highly recommend him and will use him again next time we are in Paris.

Just brilliant - Bravo Claudio. We all loved the stories behind the stories. Highly recommend. - Just brilliant - highly recommend if you want to truly experience The Louvre and get the stories behind the stories. We all learnt so much and that’s all down to Claudio and his engaging style - effortlessly meeting all our different needs and relishing our questions. He truly brought the art alive. And there’s no way we would have navigated the maze of The Louvre without his guidance and expertise. Bravo and merci beaucoup. I hope you make it to your “adventure” bucket list one day. Vicky, Nigel and Helen.

Our guide Claudio was amazing ! - We enjoyed our semi private tour at the Louvre with our excellent guide Claudio. It was very interesting and engaging for myself and my two teenagers boys. We were able to admire great masterpieces and the great history of the museum. The logistics were very well organized and even if there were crowds the experience was covert smooth with no wait time . Thank Claudio for this memorable experience !

Excellent guide and tour - Claudio was an excellent tour guide for our family of 5. He was engaging and thoughtful. We loved the small group of 6. The museum was extremely crowded due to the time of year and the rainy day and Claudio still made the trip personal. Everyone in our family enjoyed the tour and walked away with highlights. I would highly recommend Claudio and this tour!

High Recommend- would give this tour way more stars!! - We took two tours with Claudio and both exceed my expectations. Our first day in Paris we did the Ile de la Cite and it was the perfect way to start our trip. We learned about the start of Paris. Claudio was very attentive to our needs and shifted the tour to make sure we were able to see things we wanted to see. He even showed us how to ride the Metro to make sure we could comfortably navigate the city. We have two teenagers and he held their attention and that the tour kept their interest. Our girls loved Claudio and they are not easily impressed ( like most teenage girls). We also did the Louvre tour. Such a difference going with a knowledgeable guide. We went on a day when the Louvre was exceptionally packed (Christmas time). Claudio was able to navigate us through the crowds so that we could see everything and he also was able to give us a lot of information so we got so much more out of our time there. The next day we went to the Museum d’orssay without him, big mistake. We really struggled without him. We had such a short time in Paris with so many things to see, having a knowledgeable and experienced guide made us feel like we made got so much more out of our time there. Claudio was worth every penny!!!
