Excellent

It was fantastic!!!! The guide was really knowledgable, friendly and went above and beyond in providing history of the art, the artists and context. He shared analogous art and was very accommodating to questions that were fundamental as well as complex. The guide filled in for another guide who fell ill. It was his third tour of the day but showed the exuberance and energy as if it was his first!! I vould not have been more satisfied and pleased. Well worth every cent we paid for the tour. Going in the evening made it great because although it was still a little crowded it was definitely open enough to get close to all the art which were part of the tour. Even the Mona Lisa was not crazy.

Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris! We had an incredible time exploring the Louvre thanks to our wonderful guide, Rosaria. A massive museum feels accessible and endlessly interesting. We saw all the major highlights and learned so much more than we ever would have on our own.

We had THE BEST tour with an amazing guide. It was 100 degrees Fahrenheit and our guide was a trooper and kept us in the shade and gave us a great experience through Paris.

Our tour guide, Ms. Sarah, offered an outstanding experience during my visit La Louvre museum. She is a world and French, in particular, art and history expert, the lecture was fascinating with details and illustrations telling the tourists about each piece we saw. Her English was fluent, native-like, the devices worked well, so we had no problem following the presentation. Thank you for the pleasant and educational tour with Ms. Sarah!

Great

Our tickets through Viator said 10:30am, but no one was there to meet us & when I called the tour company on the ticket, I was told the start time had moved to 12:00. Very stressful when we thought we couldn’t find our guide, but once we came back at the new time, all was okay. Our guide, Daniel was very funny and showed us the highlights of the museum very well, although the joke about St. Francis & Jesus was NOT appropriate- maybe he didn’t know that would be offensive to Christians, but I’d leave that one out next time.
