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.

Our Closing Time at the Louvre tour by tour guide Laurence was brilliant.
Despite the very busy entrance to the museum, Laurence was a great communicator and got us through and into the museum in good time.
The tour was informative, interesting and Laurence was very engaging. She took us on a grand tour of all the main artifacts, explaining to us about paintings, sculptures, places, history and everything in-between. It was wonderful. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute. Laurence was knowledgeable, fun and informative. I would definitely recommend and will certainly look to do another tour in the future. Thank you ?
