Pablo was amazing. He handled an unfortunate delay with grace and rescheduled to deliver an extremely knowledgeable, personal and humorous tour through the Louvre. Our 21 year old said it was the best yet. Now, that’s says it all.

Laurent was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. We did the tour with my two children, ages 9 and 14, and he was able to keep both interested throughout, in addition to myself and my wife. Laurent was able to hit the highlights of the Louvre in a short amount of time. I realize that one could spend days/weeks and not cover the entire museum, but we were able to learn new facts during our tour. I would highly recommend Laurent as well as Context travel.

This, the last of 5 Context private tours in a 4-day trip to Paris, was billed as "Louvre highlights with the Mona Lisa," yet, when Elli asked my daughter Jane and me if we wanted to focus on the Mona Lisa, we said "no" in unison. (3 days previously, we had spent a wonderful 3 hours at the Louvre with Michael Erwin. With that in mind, also the obvious that one can't ever "do" the Louvre no matter how much time you take, we asked instead that she select, within this enormous and comprehensive place, particular pieces that were important to her, and why. This she did. From Rubens' Marie de Medici cycle, to the Marly Court under the glass pyramid, and much more, we received a view of art and of the Louvre that was both comprehensive and personal, something a casual stroll through the galleries can never produce. And from a charming companion so generous with her knowledge and so able to communicate it. A great ending to our short, but terrific sojourn in Paris.
