"Lindsey was a fantastic tour guide for our family of four. She kept our kids (8 and 10 yo) engaged through the entire tour. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in visiting the Louvre with kids!"

"Exceptional tour and I will shamelessly state, I think the kids tour of the Louvre would be better than any adult tour I could take! I highly recommend Lindsey as a tour guide, she’s builds a great rapport with the kids and makes the visit very enjoyable"

"We have a passion for history as told through art, and we couldn’t have picked a better guide. Lindsey has her PhD in 13th century art and was so knowledgeable. She taught us that art is another language and how to read it to know what the pieces are telling us. We highly recommend Context and Lindsey. We have been to the Louvre several times, and this was our best tour yet."

"Lindsey went out of her way to make our trip as good as possible because the employees at the Louvre were on a disgruntled experience and didn't open the Louvre until 11:10am. She had us explore outside and used her time wisely in order to teach us history before we got in. She also picked up that our two boys had some historical knowledge so she played games with those two. She's someone we wish could have stayed for 3 more hours because she got our vibe. Loved her!!!"

"Tour was great! Very informative and not sure we would have gotten much out of the Louvre without the history."

"Professeur Lindsey was the best tour guide one could ask for. She is highly educated, knows how to teach and explain in fun ways and was respectful of other visitors and tour groups. I learned about sculptures and paintings in ways that I can apply to paintings and sculptures in the future. I will never see paintings and sculptures the same way. It was like a college level course in Roman, Greek and French history. Can’t recommend Lindsey enough."

"Great tour—it’s impossible to visit the louvre on our own and keep our kids interested so this was perfect. Lindsey was so knowledgeable and and gave so much great information and stories to the kids (and us) and kept all of us engaged. Super smooth and quick getting in, which is almost worth the price in itself!"

Incredibly knowledgeable about the history of the museum as well as the historical importance of the artwork displayed.

"This tour was amazing! The Louvre is much more than the Mona Lisa and so large that it would be impossible to do without a guide. Lyndsey was very good at selecting the highlights and extremely knowledgeable."
31 May 2023
"We had such a wonderful experience with Lindsey. We agreed with her that it was so important to lay the framework of Haussmann’s Paris at the Louvre. The history that influenced the architecture of the city was fascinating. We did have the benefit of glorious weather, but we loved discovering the covered passages and weaving our way through ‘old’ narrow streets and the ‘new’ grands boulevards just deepened our deep affection for Paris. As a side note, Lindsay mentioned the exhibit on Notre Dame at the Museum of Architecture near Trocadero which we visited independently later in the week. It was a real treat! We hope to spend more time with Lindsay in the future (perhaps once Notre Dame reopens). Lindsay was relateable, knowledgeable and her passion was evident and infectious. We learned and had fun! Thank you!"

"From the moment we met Lindsey, her passion and knowledge about the history contained inside the Louvre was evident. She was an incredible guide and made our stay in Paris one of the highlights of our trip. Her knowledge and ability to relate stories made the portraits and pieces of art come to life. What we gained by spending our time with Lindsey was a true appreciation of what's contained within the walls of the museum. I highly recommend Lindsey!"

"Lindsey was amazing, and the money spent was some of the best money I've EVER spent. I'd tell anyone that if you have to forego something else on your trip to make a tour with Lindsey possible - do it. We've been to the Louvre before, but Lindsey made it seem like we'd never been. She brought so much more to the visit. All of us learned a ton about not only the art, but also the history of Paris and the Louvre. She made the art come to life for us."

I have had other tours of the Louvre before, but Lindsey was by far the best! Tres bien!"

It was everything that we could’ve hoped for and so much more. The way that she combined information on the history of France with the art that we are able to see what is extraordinary. Thank you for an incredible day."

"Lindsey could not have done a better job of leading us through the medieval sites of Paris. She was engaging and fun and taught us so much. We particularly loved the way that she educated us about how the nineteenth century introduced its own interpretation into the Middle Ages. She was the best guide to these sites and made everything come alive. What is especially impressive is the way that she made it all work despite the difficulty of navigating around the closed site of Notre Dame."

1 July 2019
"Besides being an expert in her field, she ensured that we had an experience which is now the highlight of our trip to Paris. Her ability to teach her expertise in her subject was outstanding as she expertly unfolded the layers of history along with the visual evidence of the various types of Gothic architecture. She is truly an expert teacher which she demonstrated by her love of the subject and her obvious caring about us. Her outgoing and friendly personality made us feel at ease and comfortable right from the moment we met. She made us feel like we were her friends and we were treated with kindness and respect the entire tour. Our goal was to learn about Gothic architecture and because of Lindsey we not only fulfilled our goal but thoroughly enjoyed doing so."

We saw many lesser-known sights that tourists seldom visit, and Lindsay has a wealth of stories to share. Her passion for Paris is obvious. We enjoyed mint tea and pastries at the Mosquée de Paris. It was a welcome end to a fascinating afternoon. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know more about Paris! Lindsay is a gem :)"

We learned so many interesting nuggets of information and had all of our questions answered. Towards the end of the official tour, she asked the 3 of us what we had planned and since we were all open she extended our time. I highly recommend Lindsey’s tour to anyone looking for a fun way to learn, in-depth, about the Left Bank."

"This was my first tour of my vacation, and while I thoroughly enjoyed it at the time, after taking a few more I realized even more how well thought out, planned, and executed Lindsey's walk was. Coming from an historian, it had plenty of depth to interest me (though coming from an historian of a different time and place, I could easily keep up with the information). She didn't just craft a tour that took the group from place to place and told us about each stop, but created a tour narrative that drew us all in, connected big ideas, and was entertaining to boot. She also did a good job at getting the group acquainted before starting, which added to the atmosphere, and adjusted her walking pace based on need--another important thing that other tour guides can fail at. Overall, it was a wonderful experience I thoroughly recommend."
