Our tour guide, Emily, was fabulous. I don’t know as much about art as I’d like to but she was able to give us a great slice of this enormous museum. Part of why I wanted this tour was because I knew the museum would be overwhelming without a guide, and this was the perfect length of tour, getting to know a little about the history of the museum, and see some of the most important/popular works there, with Emily sharing her knowledge and passion.
Two comments/cautions: first, the afternoon we went, the two different Louvre Walks tours were meeting up at the same time and place, and the guides had no idea what the differences between the two tours were — so despite the different descriptions and prices here, I’m fairly certain the difference is mostly what guide you get (we had paid for the more expensive tour because the other was already fully booked). Second, any mention in the descriptions of seeing the Mona Lisa at a quieter moment is pretty misleading, and the guides know this, so the company should change the phrasing of the tour descriptions now that it’s impossible to achieve.
