Closing Time at the Louvre: The Mona Lisa at Her Most Peaceful

Lee was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the exhibits and gave information that we would not have thought about or learned visiting the museum on our own.

Violette was fantastic. I’ve done the Louvre highlights tour several times, and she made it feel completely new. She is a deeply knowledgeable art historian and an amazing storyteller, and she explained the art in a way that made me feel like I was learning it all for the first time. She also pointed out pieces I had overlooked on past visits and tied everything together brilliantly, connecting the architecture of the Louvre with the chronology of the artworks. One of the best museum tours I’ve ever taken.

Viollette speaks clearly so use of ear piece works well. She took sufficient time to orientate the group so we knew what to expect. Clear example was to wait for closing to see Mona Lisa as no large groups would be present. Absolutely correct. She certainly knew her art pieces and added to our knowledge with questions of us. <br />All in all a great tour guide and someone we would ask for again.

Hugo was fantastic! He shared great insights on the art we saw and was able to weave together a memorable story connecting all the pieces we saw. I highly recommend a tour with him - it was well worth the cost and made the visit much more memorable.
