      Bonjour, I will be happy to be your guide for this tour. We will start our private tour from your Hotel if you ask me to pick you ap there. During this private tour i propose you to discover the largest museum in the world and the most visited museum in France. I will be able to make you travel in time during this tour because the Louvre crossed 800 years to our days. My tour permits you to enjoy the most beautiful masterpieces of the Museum in its different départements but also learn a lot about the building itself. You will smile to the famous Mona Lisa, meet Venus de Milos( you can't shake her hand :) sorry), see the Winged Victory of Samothrace, assist at Napoleon's coronation, and even participate at the "Three Glorious " Revolution with Delacroix. But also you will dance in the most beautiful Ball Rooms of the Palace, see secret doors, and step on historical staircases. And this rich travel in time ends with a splendid reception in Napoleon the III Apartments(if opened).

      Best Tour guide ever - Iuliana
      Iuliana was the best tour guide I’ve ever had. She was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and full of personality. We book her for a full day Versailles visit, and she made our day exceptional. The deep knowledge she has of Paris and its history, coupled with her passion for storytelling, made this a day I’ll never forget. 1000% recommend Iuliana for any (and all) of your excursions in Paris. Her inclusion on your visits will enhance your experience!

      Paris Opera House Tour
      Juliana was fabulous!! Her communication was clear, on time and made me feel verybconfident about the booking. So knowledgable about the opera house, friendly, kind, patient, truly a wonderful experience. I highly recommend her. She is an official tour guide and can take you to many other sights. The opera house is incredible. An absolute must-see.

      the best guide you can dream of
      It's been 3 weeks since my fiancé and I got back from Paris and we are still overwhelmed and desperate to get back. For me it was the first time in Paris and I was very excited. We had 6 full days and really no plan, just wishes - we wanted to see, smell and taste the real Paris, we wanted to try Parisian cuisine, go shopping where Parisians shop and see all the magical places you've seen in the movies for years. Why I tell it all? Because without Iuliana we would not have experienced even a small fraction of what Paris means to us now! We booked a long guided tour of Paris with her for the very first day and it was the best decision of the whole trip! Iuliana knows everything about everything, she knows every building and alley, she tells so insanely exciting that you don't even notice the time (maybe just your tired feet :) !). This was not just a routine city tour, no - besides all the historical events she tells about people's fates, love stories, gossips and funny details that you can't read in any travel guide. Afterwards she gave us so many tips for our time in Paris: restaurants, bars and coffees, stores, museums and places we could still visit. A few days later we asked her if she had time spontaneously and could show us Louvre - and OMG, lucky us, she had time! That was the best museum tour I have ever experienced. Actually, it would be deserving of a review all on its own. Believe me, you will be amazed! I'm not a fan of sculptures, paintings and museums in general at all, I always feel very uncomfortable there and never know what to do with all the info. But with Iuliana, it was a completely new experience for me - I just had to always be careful not to forget to close my mouth, it was so exciting :) She is such an insanely nice person, we felt very comfortable with her. Dear Iuliana, thanks to you we are heart over head in love with Paris and are already planning our next trip! We always say to ourselves now: we are not done with Paris and France and don't know all your stories yet, so we have to come back.

      Outstanding experience with amazing stories
      Iuliana has an amazing gift - to transform walls and buildings and pictures into living characters! I felt like a queen pqrticipating at a ball there at Versailles, and I could have stayed there for days and listen to Iuliana's stories! This visit was full of emotions, sharing, descovery... it woke up a curiosity for history and culture I didn't know I had! THANK YOU for this outstanding experience!!!

      A Royal Day in Versailles
      We were a group of 4 who visited this Palace on a very sunny day in November. We had clear sky and after the tour inside the Palace, Iuliana took us for a little surprise in the Versailles gardens. There we enjoyed a little picnic and we even were accompanied by some sowns that were on the lake. After the walking through the gardens, Iuliana had a second surprise for us and she showed us the little village next to the Palace, where Marie Antoinette used to have fun wit her guests. Definitely, this day was a fruitful one, because I personally found out so many things about history, culture, architecture and lifestyle during Ludovic XVI era. Thank you Iuliana, for your hospitality and passion that was visible in every detail!

      Musical tour to this AMAZING Palais
      I booked this tour although I previously visited Opera Garnier and I didn’t had to many expectations. But silly me I was mistaken. Iuliana explained everything so interesting, she gave so many cultural and architectural details about the building, and about the architect Garnier, about the sculptures. Now, Palais Garnier is one of my fav places in Paris. When I will visit Paris with my family, for sure I will book again this tour with Iuliana.

      Excellent private tours with Iuliana!
      Excellent private tours with Iuliana! We have spend with her 4 Days in a row, we wanted to rediscover PARIS through Iuliana's eyes. She put together a custom tour for us and it was fantastic! An excellent tour with more than just an overview of PARIS. We visited the Tour Eiffel by night, then Versailles, Louvre, and a city tour. Iuliana is extremely knowledgeable, has numerous behind the scenes stories and plenty of suggestions to make each tour an unique and unforgettable experience. Iuliana is an incredibly knowledgable guide and clearly passionate about PARIS and its history. She was a joy to be with throughout this days. We enjoyed it so much, that we booked a private tour the next day for the Opera Garnier. As expected, it was a great tour too. Curiously I am a well documented person about art and architecture, but Iuliana suprised me with very detail or story she brought in every step we made through the building. With a great mix of history, local knowledge and personal stories to keep our group entertained and engaged throughout, she’s a great storyteller! We’ve been engaged and we traveled in time so beautifully! Can’t recommend enough. Highly recommend!!!

      My 3 days in Paris
      I would like to thank Iuliana Pintea for taken her time for the Schedule I had to show me around Paris, we had a 3day stopover on the trip home. With the Main place of “The Palace of Versailles” of taken photos of the palace and Beautiful gardens, she knows the palace like the back of her hand and for the time we where there I got to see way more then expected with keeping me informed on anything I seen or took interest in.. with ordering Uber, knowing the Bus schedule.. to the underground subways I would not have seen 1/10th of what I wanted to see… there is nothing better then seeing anything from the best location in Paris an getting there fast was a bonus.. other location was Louvre, Eiffel Tower, and Opera House… and the you will alway have Memory of sitting on the front of a street Cafe for a meal or Coffee and Sweets taken in the Views..

    Had an amazing tour of the Lourve with Luliana. I had limited time and Luliana met me at the hotel, showed me the basics of the Paris subway then showed me the highlights of the Lourve in 3 hours. Instead of being overwhelmed and lost in such a large museum she made it understandable and relatable. Great history and storytelling of the different areas. Will definitely contact Luliana for another tour when I am in Paris again!

    This experience was, hands down, our favorite memory from our trip to Paris. Booking was seamless and getting to the meeting spot was very easy. Luliana was so personable and helpful! She is extremely knowledgable and educated us on history, architecture, culture, art, and more. We all learned so much (adults and kids alike!). Without a guide, visiting the Louvre would have felt overwhelming but with luliana's help we saw the core sites and even got a few insider sneak-peeks. Our kids were enthralled with getting up close and personal with the Mona Lisa, and loved getting to actively particiapte in the scavenger hunt. We cannot wait to return to Paris again and when we do, we would absolutely book another tour with luliana just to learn more from her extensive knowledge and experience! It is worth every penny!

    This was a girl trip, Iuliana was our guid for 4 days, she organised everything for us and I loved, everything was perfect. What I can say for sure, Iuliana did an upgrade for my future trips. Regarding our day to Louvre, I will not forget this day, it was so Parisian and we had a lot of fun. The day started with a little shopping at the local market for our picnic that we had in the Louvre’s garden, I loved so much that I would like to repeat again this experience 🥰. The good thing when you have a private guide, no lines 😅, more time to visitsLouvre. Our tour was more a game than a proper tour, with had a lot of stories, fun and even we’ve danced 💃🏻. After the tour we had a little walk trough Louvre’s garden and then we had our picnic, where Iuliana told us more about Marie Antoinette, the best storyteller I’ve meet. This was my first tour that felt so easy, so fun and I’ve learn a lot in a very short time. If you want a private guide for Louvre, then definitely should go with Iuliana, she is amazing 🤩

    Outstanding guide! We were a family of 5, and Luliana made the Louvre interesting and accessible to kids and adults alike.
    This museum is HUGE and overwhelming and is quite tiring to walk through, but Luliana kept us so engaged, 2hrs went by like a breeze. She has a strong background and years in academia and is extremely knowledgeable - this was one of the most in-depth tours we experienced. We did the tour in English, though she’s fluent in several languages.
    We were lucky to find a slot with her last second, but I suggest booking with her in advance, since she’s quite popular.

    My first time in Paris and the most attraction i was excited for is visiting the Louvre. Ms.Luliana made this visit exceptionally incredible. Her storytelling skills and broad knowledge made me wish to stay longer to know more and more. She’s amazing and made every piece interesting.
    She also facilitated the navigation through the museum and made the important spots known to us, and facilitated the ticket taking.

    I’m definitely coming back with my family for more thorough visit and more fun.

    Thank you 🙏

    We had an exceptional exclusive and private tour with luliana. Just me, my partner, and my 10 year old son. This wasn’t just a tour of the art at the louvre but a history or the louvre itself and the role of art in that history—-luliana curated the experience beautifully and her advanced education in art history was evident. We even had some special access points during our tour in an otherwise crowded museum. She tailored some of the tour for my son, which was greatly appreciated so he could learn and enjoy the experience. I look forward to booking additional private tours with luliana. We highly recommend that you do too!

    This was an excellent experience on many levels. I read the reviews, and I knew that Iuliana had a reputation for making the Louvre engaging for children. Im just an old guy with a free morning during a business trip. I had visited the Louvre on two occasions in the past. She provided a historical context, not only to the art, but for the buildings too. I was lucky to see some of the works that I had missed in the past, and it was such a treat to have someone direct me, as we discussed the background of the artist and the art. I was enthralled for the entire three hours, and I could have easily spent the rest of the day with this fabulous guide. It was everything I had hoped and more.

    Dear Douglas, Thank you sincerely for your wonderful feedback! I'm thrilled to hear that you found the experience excellent on multiple levels. It was a pleasure to provide historical context not only to the art but also to the buildings, making the Louvre come alive for you. I'm delighted that our discussions enhanced your visit, allowing you to discover new works and gain insights into the background of the artists. Your enthusiasm throughout the three hours was truly appreciated, and I would have been more than happy to spend the entire day exploring with you. If you ever find yourself back in Paris, I would love the opportunity to share more enriching moments with you. Best regards, Iuliana

    Valerie picked us up from the Arbnb and pointed out the history along to way to the Louvre, which was also lovely. She added a dimension to the history and art that you can’t get from books, documentaries or the taped guides that the museum hands out. She was funny, which was an added bonus.

    We did NOT do an actual tour, so I can’t speak for the actual tour.

    I booked Luliana for a morning tour for me and my wife. She is the most expensive private tour on Trip Advisor for the Louvre, so I expected great service. I left some questions for her as I booked (Does it include tickets? Skip the line? Will she pick us up with car or shall we just meet at Louvre?) Never heard from her!!! A week or so later, concerned about ZERO communication, I sent her another message. This time responded with “I can do it at 2 PM!”. WTH?!?! If I wanted afternoon, I would have scheduled it as such! Worst of all, there were lots of tickets for the day and time we wanted when I booked! Not a single one left now. Thank you for messing up our trip.

    IMO, go elsewhere! Especially for that much money!

    Dear costumer, I sincerely regret the disappointment you experienced during your booking process. Typically, when scheduling a tour with me, the starting time is flexible, commencing from 9:00 am. Subsequently, we coordinate the meeting point and time after the booking, taking into account my availability and ticket availability on the Museum's website. Presently, my schedule is quite full, and clients often reach out to me directly via phone, text, or WhatsApp for prompt responses. In the event I am unavailable, I ensure clients are accommodated by my esteemed colleagues, as attested by reviews. I'm pleased to note that you were refunded the entire booking amount, and I hope you were able to secure the services of an available guide. Thank you for your understanding, and I extend my sincerest regards. Best, Iuliana
