- Liliya was a fantastic guide for both the Louvre & Musée d'Orsay! I traveled with my mom, who has some back problems that don't allow her to stand for long periods of time. Liliya accommodated my mom's need to sit by talking to the tour group near my mom's seated spot. In addition to her large amount of knowledge about the museums' collections, Liliya was quite funny. For example, she referred to a collection of cameos in the Louvre as the "selfies" of the Sun King's day. Highly recommend this personal and excellent tour!
- I had a wonderful small group tour of the Louvre and Musee d'Orsay. Unlike other tours advertised as "small" this truly was with only 5 people. We had a lovely time and I would highly recommend Babylon and our guide (whose name escapes me right now!).
- Fabulous tour, wonderful guide. Highly recommend.
- Fabrizzia was excellent! She was very knowledgeable, was great with our kids and got us through the crowds very easily. Highly recommend to anyone going for the first time to any of the museums.
- Liliya was an amazing guide on my semi-private tour of the Louvre and Musee d'Orsay! Her attention to detail, personable service and wealth of knowledge enriched my experience.
