Experience Night Tours in Paris with Withlocals

"It was so wonderful to have Julien show us around the Louvre! Even though it was only a 2 hour tour, we saw so much and he knows so much about the Louvre. He is very personable. It was well worth the money!"

"We had the most lovely evening with Isa, she is fun, real and so warm. Enjoyed ambling the streets of the Latin quarter enjoying her history knowledge and sampling some yum food and drinks. \nThank you isa 🥰🥰"

"Julien was so flexible and adaptable to our group’s unique needs. We had a large enough group that we required two guides, so he and another guide (Emilie) paired up to take our two groups through an amazing Louvre experience. Julien’s enthusiasm for the art was contagious. He brought context and purpose to each piece, engaging our 3 teenagers to a genuine interest and appreciation. Julien’s knowledge went beyond the art, to the Louvre and French and Roman history."

"Emilie was so flexible and adaptable to our group’s unique needs. We had a large enough group that we required two guides, so she and another guide (Julien) paired up to take our two groups through an amazing Louvre experience. Emilie was very knowledgeable about the artwork and the Louvre with the surrounding area. She was warm and friendly, and cheerfully answered questions. Her guidance increased our Louvre experience ten-fold."

"We wanted to book a tour to make the most of our Louvre experience both for us and our children aged 11 and 13 rather than be overwhelmed with such an huge collection of art and the crowds.\nWe are not art experts and wanted to have a tour guide help us to get the most from the experience and enhance our understanding and appreciation of the amazing and notable pieces on display. We weren’t sure booking a group tour would keep them engaged and give us what we were after so we opted for a personal tour with Bibiana.\nWe found Bibiana to be warm, friendly and fun and in our time together she covered the early history of the Louvre when it was a palace showing us the old foundations and taking us back in time in the history of France before helping enlighten us on the evolution of Greek and Roman sculptures and art. Both my husband and I felt Bibiana gave us a whole new appreciation for the more famous pieces by classical masters and by the time we parted we felt like experts and could admire the art in a whole new way. \nWe appreciated that Bibiana also made sure to engage our children asking them questions and pointing out aspects to them throughout the tour as well.\nWe were able to skip the line to enter through an alternative entry which was also a bonus and time saver given we visited during the Summer when crowds are at their peak. Overall I definitely felt touring with Bibiana enhanced our overall Louvre experience. "

"If you are a jazz lover...and even a blues lover this tour is a MUST book experience. My husband and I were not sure what to expect- and this tour exceeded our expectations. We were taken into some of the most interesting venues and we listened to incredible music. Olivia was a delight and added a certain \"je ne sais quoi\" to the evening. We were especially impressed with her ability to help make our experience more interesting. Book this tour! The one on one experience was especially wonderful. There is nothing like Parisian Jazz! "

"Bibiana was FANTASTIC ! She made visiting the Louvre such an interactive and fun experience. As an art history novice, I have historically found this museum to be over whelming. She unraveled some of the secrets of the museum and its treasures in a way that made the museum feel alive. She is energetic and passionate about the treasures of the Louvre. Well done Bibiana !!!"

"I booked this holiday excursion as surprise for my family and a celebration experience. I read up on \"With Locals\" and found Hugo. He is an art historian specializing on the paintings of Versailles. Although we wished we had time to visit Versailles, we were lucky enough to secure Hugo as a guide for the Louvre.\n\nHugo's thorough knowledge of the Louvre itself brought a unique and unexpected perspective. He took us down to the excavation site underneath the building, which was discovered during the installation of the I.M. Pei Pyramids in the 1980s. He talked about the construction and stonework and how the Seine River still makes its presence known. We were taken through to see the Venus de Milo, where he explained its construction (like Legos?) and her missing limbs. He brought us up close to Winged Victory (aka Nike) and how its wings bring balance to the statue. \n\nThere were so many interesting and new viewpoints that Hugo introduced us to. My favorite was the Mona Lisa. Honestly, I was not as interested in the painting until I heard about who she was and the truth behind her smile. It was an honest and poignant explanation that touched my heart. If you want to know, hire Hugo!\n\nIf you want a once-in-a-lifetime visit, spend the money and the time to engage a tour guide for the Louvre, especially Hugo. So many people mill around looking at paintings and statues mindlessly without the possibility of understanding their significance. The Louvre came to life with Hugo. I now understand the depth of the institution and had a more meaningful experience. \n\n"

"My wife and I had a wonderful evening at the Louvre thanks to Bibiana showing us around. She patiently explained the notable pieces of art, and it is obvious that she is very knowledgeable in the subject. Would definitely have Bibiana show us around when we visit Paris next."

"Fe was a truly knowledgeable guide for the Louvre. We purchased our tickets ahead of time and Fe got us in without needing to stand in line at all. She was supportive of our interests and helped us use our time wisely. "
