“Showed up 30 min late. And then drove so INSANE the whole way to Paris. Driving up curbs. Ripping around the tiny pedestrian streets of montmarte at 90kmh narrowly missing bikes scooters and pedestrians to try and avoid a traffic back up on the main road. Took a million dips and turns through tiny neighborhoods at excessive speed and hairpin turns and violent abrupt stops to avoid collisions. Finally got us near our hotel and pulled up so abruptly into a crosswalk full of people that two old ladies had to jump out of the way and then laid into him when we stopped It took everything I had in…”

“My first booking with Viator and It went perfectly smooth.^^ We booked the Le Louvre Museum timed-tickets at 4 pm for a visit on the same day scheduled at 7 pm. I received the digital tickets immediately after the payment. I recommend you access the museum through the Carroussel du Louvre entrance which is usually less crowded. We were in, in less than 10 min.”
Paris Louvre private highlights tour in 90 minutes, meet at the Pyramid, see the Mona Lisa and Winged Victory. Museum ticket not included.
“No-one showed up to take the Tour, no communication to say why? Viator were good with advice via WhatsApp but the company themselves didn't answer calls or text messages. I understand tours get cancelled but the total absence of communication was really stressful and upsetting, especially with a child who was excited for the tour!”
A small-group English guided tour of Musée d'Orsay with reserved entry, art history in context, and time to ask questions.
“My family had a FABULOUS tour of Musee D'Orsay with Eduardo. It was a small group tour (just 5 people) and every minute of the tour was informative and also fun. Eduardo is a delight. He is passionate and extremely knowledgeable about art and presented it in a very engaging manner. He taught us the timeline leading up to and including the Impressionist era through his speaking and showing us relevant art. I highly recommend booking a tour with Eduardo and Babylon Tours (through Viator) while in Paris.”

“We LOVED it. So fun to zip through the streets. Emanuel was a knowledgeable, kind, and fun guide. He showed us several hidden gems we would have walked right past - as well as some unique views which were amazing. Felt very safe. Got to see so much of the city from a different perspective. Will be signing up for this the next time we are in Paris. We were two adults, but I kept thinking my kids would have LOVED this.”
Private 2-hour Louvre tour with skip-the-ticket-line entry, a family guide, and a kid-friendly route focused on key works.
“The guide and tour company were amazing. There was a challenge in meeting up at the meet up place as we were scheduled within a few hours of the France retirement judgement in April 2023 being announced. There was police presence everywhere and our guide was able to meet us at an alternative location and still spent 2+ hours with us after a 1hr delay due to the closed streets. Our guide was wonderful with our 9yr old son and made the tour so enjoyable for all of us. Highly recommend!”
