We took the Louvre tour "Closing Time at the Louvre: The Mona Lisa at Her Most Peaceful" with Team Adam. Adam was knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging. We most appreciated his insights and explanations on the artworks. He provided us with a rich and lasting experience of the Louvre, something we would not have enjoyed attempting to tour this massive museum on our own. And we truly ended the tour at the Mona Lisa and got to spend time up close and personal with this beautiful painting, without any crowds, which we now know and appreciate so much more because of Adam, in addition to all the other art pieces he shared with us. We highly recommend this tour and especially our tour guide, Adam. Go, Team Adam!

This was the perfect length tour to see the Louvre with my daughter who is eight years old. Adam was amazing and full of facts, funny jokes and examples to help us understand and enjoy the history that we were looking at. I recommend asking for Adam as your guide when booking this tour. Going to the Louvre without a guide seems crazy with how many artefacts they have on display at any one time. Thank you Adam for an enjoyable tour and for keeping Ava engaged. She answered lots of questions you had because you made her feel comfortable to ask in front of 13 other adults!

This is the perfect tour for those who don't deal well with crowds. By 3:00 p.m. most tourists have moved on to other sites in Paris. Our guide Manuel was very knowledgable, witty, and fun. We saw a lot in our tour and were very satisfied with Walks in general.
