      A visit to the Pompidou Center is as much about the building as the art — it stands out from the Paris skyline in an almost controversial sort of way. After learning about the odd, color-coded architecture and inside-out concept of the museum itself, you will follow your expert guide through the equally-bizarre and conceptual works in the galleries. Dive into the modern collection and see works by Picasso and Matisse, learning about their contributions to Cubism and Fauvism. Get surreal with art created during World Wars while discussing the Dada movement. Head to the 50s and swinging 60s when Andy Warhol was spearheading Pop Art. You’ll hear about French artists as well as international names, possibly including Mondrian, Pollock, O’Keefe, among other artists who have worked during movements including Futurism, Bauhaus, and abstract expressionism. Continue towards the lesser-known world of contemporary art. Familiar with Minimalism and Fluxus? You will be after the tour. Stop by Dubuffet’s winter garden to immerse yourself in an installation project before learning about multimedia projects housed in the galleries. By the end, you’ll have a richer understanding of more recent artworks that go beyond what’s in the Louvre or the Musée d’Orsay, bringing you up to speed on the art world.

      Francois was the best!
      Francois was energetic and made the tour fun for any age. His knowledge of Monmartre and the little hidden gems was amazing. He even gave some wine recommendations. Highly recommend Babylon.

      Terrific tour of the Marais!
      Francois is a knowledgeable and entertaining guide, and his enthusiasm for French history is wonderful. His vivid descriptions made the tour of this lively area very memorable.

      Fantastic Les Invalides/history tour
      This was a fantastic tour! Our guide Anatole went above and beyond his knowledge is second to none! There is so much to see and he made sure to point out the things we would have otherwise missed!

      Great family tour with Paloma
      Paloma was amazing with our kids on our tour. She explained the art to them in a fun way that also was very educational. Her knowledge of the museum and the works was top notch too.

      Amazing Tour
      The guided tour was informative and smooth, despite security-related detours. The Mona Lisa is a novelty, but spending time exploring the other works and their significance was the highlight for us, specifically the section on Mesopotamia. We only wish the tour had lasted longer!

      Outstanding tour of the Louvre!
      The Louvre was incredible on its own, however Anaïs was the absolute best guide we could have asked for. She guided us to the most visited areas, but shared so much knowledge about other important works, we would have missed without her. She also was incredibly friendly and we enjoyed out time with her. Thanks!

      The only way to experience the Louvre the first time!
      We had the most amazing time with Emmanuel and he was so knowledgeable with the degree to prove it! He was so patient and sweet with our small group and had a great sense of humor. He chose specific works and took us around the best parts of the Louvre, then we were able to walk around on our own to see everything. He even had special headsets so we could hear him continue his history and art lessons when we walked off to see something else quickly. Highly recommend! The only way to see the Louvre!

      Amazing private tour of the Louvre with Erlon!
      Erlon was an amazing guide for our private tour of the Louvre. Personable, knowledgeable and fun! He made the most of our time. We saw all the highlights and learned so much beyond what we would have experienced on our own. It was a great day for our family.

      Excellent Tour & Amazing Guide!
      Excellent tour. Malaika was an outstanding guide. Her knowledge of not just the artist and painting but her ability to relay the significance of both through time was priceless. I came away with not only a renewed appreciation for art but an understanding of art and history. We recommend the tour company and highly recommend Malaika as a guide.

      Great tour for family with teens
      My family of 4 (including teenagers) had a wonderful semi-private tour of the Louvre. Our guide, Margaux, has a background in art history and even went to school at the Louvre! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. She allowed the group to decide which areas of the Louvre to explore, so it was customized to our preferences. I have previously been to the Louvre on two separate occasions (self-guided) and didn't learn a fraction of what I did on this tour. It is definitely worth the price to book a small group tour, as the experience and Margeaux's stories will stay with us beyond this trip to Paris.

      Dunya is the best!!!
      Had one day in Paris and a half a day visit to Louvre. Our tour guide Dunya was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating to ever request. She was great with my kids and explained everything in great detail. I would highly recommend her personally to anyone wanting to visit to Louvre or probably any other Paris attraction.

    For our first time at the Pompidou we had an amazing experience thanks to our amazing tour guide. Our guide Belle did a wonderful job walking us through each artist, artwork, and movement, making the information easy to understand for everyone while still holding our attention. With varying levels of preexisting knowledge going into the tour, everyone still found her guidance very interesting and captivating. Belle did a wonderful job and we enjoyed her tour very much. It was obvious how passionate she was about it which also made it even better for us. Would absolutely recommend her to others.

    We had an amazing visit with our tour guide, Emma. She has a passion for contemporary art and is a wealth of knowledge. She was the teacher and we were the students. Started our tour by visiting Ben’s exhibit which was a highlight. We then visited a number of famous artists and Emma provided keen insights at each stop.

    Sadly, Centre Pompidou will be closed soon for a 5-year renovation but Emma is available for many other art tours in Paris. She is a gem!

    Our guide, Sunday, was lovely, and we felt immediately comfortable with her. It was like we had a good friend, who also happened to be an art historian, showing us around this fantastic museum. We got a complete education in 20th century art history in 2 1/2 hours.

    Taylor was a joy. She provided a nonstop history of modern and contemporary art with precision, deep understanding and enthusiasm for the subject. We appreciated the her description of the interplay of art movements and her knowledge of the artists and their relationship to the world around them

    We went with young children and Belen was very kind and knowledgeable and explained it to us so well that we all wanted to listen, children and adults. He is an excellent guide and made the tour great for us.
    We highly recommend it! Belen is excellent!

    Anastasia from Babylon Tours gave my friend and I an excellent 2 1/2 hour private tour of the Pompidou Center on Monday afternoon in September. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and articulate. She met us on time at the place indicated and answered any questions that we had, even the most childish. We learned a great deal about the history of modern art in a most pleasant manner. Highly recommended.
