My chers amis, Bonjour and welcome to Paris! Paris is a fabulous city justly described as an international capital of fashion, gastronomy, romance, art and so on. My personal love story with Paris started when I first visited France being a law student from Saint Petersburg taking part in « Chantiers bénévoles », a volunteer project consisting in a restoration of a medieval castle in the South of France. I found almost immediately that French history, heritage and people are so interesting, that I should move here forever. So, I came to France, studied history and art and obtained a diploma which enabled me to receive my official tour guide license (« carte de guide-conférencier ») in 2013. Since that, I really appreciate being a professional guide. From my childhood, I love to spend time in museums with their particulate atmosphere and charm. I love as well to share my passion for art and make the wonders of French History come alive in front of your eyes, as I take you on tour. I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

Overview of your Paris tour

The Louvre is extraordinary — but it can also feel overwhelming on a first visit. This private tour is designed to make it clear, enjoyable, and unforgettable, without the stress of trying to see everything. I invite you to discover the museum through its most iconic works and fascinating stories during a private Louvre tour with reserved entry, perfect for a first visit. Together, we will travel through different periods of history, from the medieval fortress hidden beneath the museum to the splendor of royal collections and the great artistic movements that shaped Europe. We will discover why the Mona Lisa became the most famous painting in the world, why the Venus de Milo is still considered an ideal of beauty despite her missing arms, and why the Winged Victory of Samothrace remains so powerful and dramatic even without a head. Through paintings, sculptures, and symbols, we will also explore how revolutions, emperors, and political upheavals transformed France and shaped the country we know today.

We LOVED our tour with Alexandra. We had our 8 and 11 year old with us and would have been lost without her help. She successfully navigated through the crowds, kept our kids engaged and gave us quite a history lesson. Would 100% recommend booking her tour.

Thank you so much Alexandra for providing an outstanding tour of the Louvre. It would have been impossible for our group of 5 to navigate the immense grounds without your guidance and impressive knowledge about each exhibit that we visited. The pace and 2 hour period was packed with so much information to digest, no time was wasted! We all agreed that we got the best possible tour with best guide! Merci Beaucoup!

Excellent private tour. Our guide, Alexandra, was incredibly knowledgable and gave us a fantastic overview of Louvre. We learnt about history, art, culture and much more. We are well traveled and have high demands, and we were very happy with our tour guide - she was great and very personable! Highly recommend to anyone!

First of all, we will see the Louvre's oldest parts, its medieval moat and dungeon as well as the gilded parade helmet of the King Charles VI. The authentic royal helmet was found in a pit during the excavations only about 40 years ago. Next, in the Department of the Ancient Greece and Rome, you will be impressed by the amount of antic sculptures that French monarchy managed to collect. Afterwards, on the way through the collection of Italian paintings, you will admire Botticelli, Mantegna, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Titian and Veronese masterpieces. Finally, we will observe the 19th-century French paintings by David, Gros, Gericault, Ingres and Delacroix. *****NOTA BENE !!! PLEASE DO NOT BUY YOUR ADMISSION TICKETS ON YOUR OWN. Wait for the instructions from the guide. !!! New rules since 2026.
