Book this 10/10 tour! - In theory, one may navigate the Louvre with a detailed plan and audio guides. I, personally, would find that to be a huge task. Especially when there is an excellent guided tour like Boutique Bicycle Tours: Paris Louvre Essentials with Reserved Entry. The charming and enthusiastic guides know all the tricks of navigating this huge space. Example: they know how/where to get a locker to stash coats, jackets, and bags, so you may walk and take pictures more easily and comfortably. It gets quite warm and crowded in there! Also, the guides speak perfect English! The order the tour is presented in, is chronological, tracing the history of the art, the times it was created in, and the building itself. I found the presentation fascinating and the three hours flew by. Clara, my guide, is a gifted story teller and is full of energy and fun facts. Her companion guide Nafi, was a bonus and fun too. I’ll wrap this up by saying: Book this tour! I give it a 10 out of 10 stars. It was my fourth tour with this company. The thing I like best is the attention to detail, and the value for time and money spent. I look forward to my next adventure with Boutique Bicycle Tours. They are simply the best!

Interesting, informative, and fun tour of the Louvre highlights! - We had a fantastic tour of the Louvre with Clara! Clara and the rest of the Boutique Bike Tour staff were extremely organized and responsive. Clara did a great job hitting highlights of the tour and proving a lot of interesting history about the museum, the art, and Paris. The tour was our first stop after arriving in Paris on an overnight flight. Clara was very kind, attentive, and friendly and our tour was a perfect introduction to Paris. Thank you for a great afternoon!

Enjoyable! And educational! - I enjoyed my walking tour at the Louvre with Boutique Bike Tours, and definitely recommend them. Our guide Clara was very friendly and knowledgable and added a lot of info and context to the art, especially compared to a self-guided tour we did earlier in the morning. Plus, spending time with a guide is much more fun than reading all of the tiny boxes of type on the wall. All in all, a great experience.

Discovering the Louvre - My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our tour of the Louvre with Clara and the folks of Boutique Bike Tours. The Louvre is an enormous and impressive museum - it is easy to feel overwhelmed - Clara (the tour guide) took an immense place, navigated it expertly/intentionally, and created a way to see highlights and hidden gems while learning new and unexpected things! We actually arrived a few hours before the tour and had already seen some of the major pieces (like the Mona Lisa), but seeing them again on the tour with a guide gave extra depth and appreciation - we enjoyed the art even more. Going with a guide is definitely the best way to see the Louvre and we cannot recommend Boutique Bike Tours enough - thank you for an excellent tour!

Louvre masterpieces - This was a fantastic tour! Our guide, Clara, was a mixture of entertaining, extremely knowledgeable, and engaging. With 600,000 pieces in the collection, you could spend weeks in the museum, but this tour provided a fun way to see several masterpieces in a few hours. Definitely recommend.

Perfect way to discover the Louvre - Such a great way to learn more than I would have on my own! Clara was so energetic and fun. So many opportunities for photos and I did not want it to end! My only issue was that the ear piece given so we could hear our guide better hurt my ear. I continued to switch from ear to ear for relief. I would have preferred to have brought my own ear buds or had a headset instead of that.

Lovely Louvre tour - Clara with Boutique Bike Tours led us on a great tour of the Louvre. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and sprinkled the tour with history which we loved. Clara took us to the highlights of the Louvre, tour lasted two hours which was perfect; not too long, not too short. Merci Clara!
