We had a great and informative time with our guide Omar. He was fantastic and we highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour with an excellent guide. But the Louvre is incredibly huge and the tour provides a great two hour overview, so if there are areas you want to spend time in, plan to stay after two hour.

We took the 10:30AM tour on October 23rd. Our guide was wonderful. She navigated us through the very crowded museum. Managed to show us just about every highlight. She was also funny and lively. The whole tour was great.

The guide very knowledgeable and pleasant. Asked if questions. She spoke excellent English, but often challenging to understand.

It was absolutely amazing! Florence from City Tours was absolutely top notch. If all tours had guides like her, there would be no issues from anyone.

It was well organised. Saeed was very knowledgeable, insightful and friendly. He had good advice and always looked out for us. The Mona Lisa display area was very crowded though and I could barely get to the painting. Some visitors just hogged the area and kept taking selfies. Louvre should organise this attraction better.

Small group of 20. Guide was good to keep us together in large crowd of people in the museum. Hard to hear the operator due to noise. Full head sets are needed.
