"We took the Louvre family tour with Inge and it was one of the best things we did in Paris. Our twins absolutely loved it. For the remainder of our vacation they kept asking if they could do 'the treasure hunt' again. I didn't know how much our son and daughter had retained from their visit to the Louvre until, upon our return to the States, I saw my daughter show her grandmother a little box with the Mona Lisa on it. She told her grandmother to look at it from one side and see how the eyes were looking at her and then to look at it from the other side and notice the same thing. 'The artist did that,' she told her proudly. Then she added, 'Mona Lisa has a secret but nobody knows it'. I'm glad your tour wasn't a secret. I'll be passing it on to all our friends headed to Paris."

We wanted to thank Inge for the amazing tour she offered Sophie and Isabela during our recent visit to the Louvre. The kids were so excited, inspired and enlightened by all the beautiful art. They loved every minute of their adventure and thought Inge was the best treasure hunt guide in the world. Thank you for making our stay in Paris so memorable. You have opened up a whole new world to a young generation of art lovers. Merci beaucoup!

We look forward to seeing you all again."

Thank you so much for your wonderful tours...my kids had an amazing experience (and I did as well). Both guides were extremely knowledgeable and personable. They went at the kids' pace and made sure they understood before moving on. Of all the things we did in Paris, your tours were the things my children talk about - and can remember every detail of . Pretty good for a 9 & 6 year old. Please tell Leslie and Mary thank you - they are truly a gift to the children.

We wanted to let you know what a terrific time we had with Inge last Thursday. She had just the right tone and approach with our 8 year old son and made our visit to the Louvre enjoyable and achievable. We all feel it was a highlight of our trip, which is funny since we weren't originally going to even go to the Louvre because of the crowds. But Inge just took us right on through and placed us in all the right spots.

Leigh and I had a marvelous—and very enlightening—time with Carrie. She was an absolute delight and made our experience to the Louvre so much more fun and meaningful than it would have been without her. It has definitely been the highlight of our trip. Who knew that learning could be so much fun?

Thanks again,

Each of [our Paris Muse guides] had a perfect balance of professionalism and personal friendliness that put us immediately at ease and made the time we spent with them “fly by” without seeming rushed – a clear indication of a delightful experience. To hit three home runs in three at bats speaks volumes about Paris Muse and the folks in your employ. Our sincerest and deepest thanks are extended to all of you for helping to create memories that will indeed last a lifetime.

We were lucky to have taken the "Paris Muse Clues" tour of the Louvre with our grandchildren. Your Mary left us with a lasting memory that we will cherish...Both of the boys tell everybody about Mary. For them it has become a highlight of their Paris experience. Patrick our younger grandson now refers to "My Mary" and "My Louvre" when he shares his insights with others, with a smile that shows the positive impression the experience created.

"I wanted to give praise to the recent Louvre tour for children that my 9-year old son and I took with Carrie. It was perfect -- Ethan was mesmerized for the full 2 hours, and we both learned a great deal, ranging from the palaces of Sargon II to the emergence of perspective drawing in the Renaissance. A few weeks later, Ethan is still amazing his mother with tales of Jordanian art. Carrie was well prepared and engaging. Brava!"

"I just wanted to thank you for the Louvre Family tour we did last Wednesday with Mary. It was wonderful! Mary was great, especially with our five-year-old son. She hooked him and we are thrilled with how much he liked the tour and the Louvre. He actually asked to go back again later in the week and was tossing out little snippets that he'd learned from Mary. We all had a lovely time, and the next time we are in Paris we will be sure to contact you for another tour."
