Sylvanie is an informative and welcoming guide!! We so enjoyed her expertise as it pertained to our tours of the Dorsey and L'Orangerie museums. Well worth the fee to gain all the insights that one would miss otherwise. We are hoping to visit again and spend more time with Sylvanie exploring other lovely places in Paris!

We loved Sylvanie! She came highly recommended from a friend! We toured Versailles and the gardens with her and loved every minute! She was very knowledgeable about the palace and the gardens, and knew where to go to away from crowds to point out not to be missed details! We will absolutely book with her again!

If you’re planning a visit to the Louvre and want to actually enjoy it—especially during a busy season—book a private tour with Sylvanie. I truly can’t say enough good things about her. We were lucky enough to spend a morning with her at the Louvre over the Christmas season, and it was hands-down one of the best decisions we made on our trip. Sylvanie took care of everything: She helped us navigate the crowds like an absolute pro, ushered us through lesser-known entrances (saving us a ton of time), and even handled our tickets in advance. It felt like we were getting a behind-the-scenes VIP experience, and not having to stress about logistics was such a gift—especially on a family trip. Speaking of family: our group included myself, my husband, and our two elementary-aged daughters, and Sylvanie was absolutely amazing with the kids. She broke down big ideas and art history themes in ways that were so engaging and age-appropriate. My oldest daughter, who dreams of becoming an art history and/or Mythology professor one day, completely lit up in Sylvania’s presence. She adored her and honestly still talks about her. Beyond her deep knowledge and ability to connect, Sylvania was just incredibly thoughtful. She checked in to make sure we were comfortable, asked if we needed a snack break, and even offered to take family photos throughout the museum—which turned out beautifully and are now some of our favorite memories from the trip. I actually found Sylvania through a glowing recommendation from my sister in New York, who had toured with her a few weeks before us—and she had heard about Sylvania through coworkers. It’s clear she’s something of a best-kept secret among savvy travelers, and I feel so lucky we got to experience the Louvre through her eyes.

Grazie Sylvanie sei stata bravissima! Bellissima la passeggiata nei passaggi coperti di Parigi ci hai fatto scoprire una parte non turistica. Eravamo già stati a Versailles ma con la tua guida adesso siamo molto preparati su Luigi xiv xv xvi è stato interessante ma anche divertente. Abbiamo imparato tanto. Non avevamo mai visto l'opera Garnier ,bellissimo teatro e grazie a te Abbiamo notato dei dettagli fantastici. Se torniamo a Parigi ti contatto. Ciao

**Visite guidée exceptionnelle au Louvre et à Versailles !** Nous avons participé à une visite guidée en famille, avec des adolescents et des adultes, et nous avons été ravis de l'expérience. La guide était passionnante et dynamique. Elle a su captiver l'attention de tous, jeunes et moins jeunes, en rendant l'histoire vivante et accessible. Les visites du Louvre et de Versailles étaient à la fois instructives et divertissantes, avec des anecdotes et des détails qui ont enrichi notre découverte. Tout était parfaitement planifié, ce qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de ces lieux magnifiques sans stress. Je recommande vivement cette visite à tous ceux qui souhaitent découvrir Paris et ses trésors culturels de manière ludique et enrichissante.

Nous avons eu la chance de vivre une visite guidée exceptionnelle au Louvre grâce à une guide passionnée et d’une grande expertise. En 2h30, elle a su captiver les adultes comme les enfants (12 à 15 ans) en nous dévoilant les œuvres majeures, mais aussi des trésors moins connus. Au-delà des anecdotes vivantes qui rendent la visite accessible et agréable, c’est sa connaissance approfondie qui a véritablement marqué cette expérience. En si peu de temps, elle a su transmettre des clés essentielles pour mieux comprendre l’histoire de l’art et appréhender les œuvres sous un nouvel angle. Une visite enrichissante et mémorable que je recommande vivement !

Private tour of Versailles and its gardens

The gardens of Versailles, designed by André Le Nôtre, are just as impressive as the castle.

We will also discover the Latona Fountain, which tells the mythological story of Latona, mother of Apollo and Diana, who, insulted by peasants refusing to give her water, transformed them into frogs. This fountain symbolizes the grandeur and royal authority. The gardens of Versailles, with their numerous fountains, were as much a place of relaxation as a means of asserting the king’s power.
