Falling in Louvre And Its Highlights With an Art Historian (reserved entrance)

Wonderful, informative, pleasant tour of Louvre made possible by Olesya K. nOlesya has great pre tour communication and provides options for an appropriate meeting place to start. She is flexible, and personalized the tour to our older group of 6 people, always aware of the best routes to minimize stairs, optimizing elevator use, and best viewing locations for the masterpieces. Her super power is her background of art history, and broad knowledge allowing one to understand not only individual works of art but the changes in style seen over the centuries. She does her tours with a very pleasant, calm, and professional manner. Tourists to Paris are very fortunate to be able to book a tour with Olesya! Merci Beaucoup!

She was wonderful !

Olesya was great! I am so glad I booked this private tour for my daughter (13yrs) and myself with her. We were running late to meet Olesya, as it was our first morning in Paris, and we were a little jet lagged. But she was understanding and flexible. We got in right away, around 9:50, prior to the major crush of the crowds. She took us immediately to Napoleon’s apartments (which were stunning) because they get crowded quickly and continued on from there, going back in time to see older pieces and building up to the must-sees like the Mona Lisa and Venus de Milo. There is so much to see so we kept our eyes peeled as we moved from room to room. Olesya checked with us about the pace, and her info was interesting. When I asked my daughter what she thought about the tour, she said she really liked it. She said she thought it was going to be boring and it wasn’t! And she gave Olesya 2 thumbs up! I wish I had booked Olesya for our tour of Versailles as well—she would have been wonderful. We may be traveling to Paris again next year, and if we do, I will definitely contact her for a tour.

This is the only way to have a great experience at the Louvre. My wife and I splurged on a private tour and it was absolutely worth it. Alesya provided an amazing experience. She helped us negotiate lines and spaces. Her tour was informative and fun, and covered history of the Louvre, and the most significant artifacts spanning the entire history of western art, from ancient Egypt to 19th century France. Alesya’s passion for art history is evident. The tour had a great balance of in-depth expertise and interesting cultural tidbits. Her English is great as well. Could not recommend Alesya more highly.

Olesya, was very knowledgeable She knows her art history and the Louvre. Note to future tour goers, be as clear with what you want to see and what you are not interested. Olesya and other guides need to know before purchasing your tickets. The tickets dictate where you are allowed to go in the museum.

Olesya led us through the Louvre like a well choreographed dance. She managed the crowd well, led us to the front of each piece, and educated us with a light yet passionate storytelling style. Highly recommend her and this tour!
