Excellent

Simon was wonderful! He was very engaging, knowledgable, and energetic. We saw the pieces we were hoping to see and he gave us great insight and perspective. After the official tour, we wandered for another hour without a guide - we missed Simon's enthusiasm!

Avi was our guide and he was very knowledgeable and likeable. He gave us history on the art and history of The Louvre, but also made it entertaining as we strolled through the museum. We wanted to see the highlights and didn’t have a lot of time so this was a perfect tour
