Having a guide made the experience much more interesting and fun. It was nice to be able to bi-pass the big lines.

This tour saves us time and provide great information on the master pieces. Our guide Lomar is very knowledgeable and funny. We enjoyed learning about the pieces and not have to go through the feeling of stress to search for them on our own. Worth getting the tour. You can still stay and explore on your own after the tour for us, we only have limited time in Paris, and this tour helps.

It was fabulous having an English speaking guide take us to what we wanted to see in the Louvre. He knew how to navigate through the crowds. He did walk quickly but he didn't go far and then stopped and talked about what was in the area. Those of us with mobility issues could catch up while he was talking. There were places to sit for a few minutes while he was in some of th rooms. The whisper device worked great. I am so glad we had a tour guide. We chose to leave the tour about 30 minutes before it was over and we spent so much time trying to find our way out - it might have been faster had we stayed with the guide.

Visiting the Louvre was an unforgettable experience! The museum is breathtaking, filled with incredible art and history. Our tour guide was amazing very knowledgeable and passionate about the artwork, especially when explaining the stories behind masterpieces like the Mona Lisa and the Venus de Milo. I forgot the guide’s name, but they made the visit so engaging and enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris!

We really enjoyed our guide .She was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the subject matter. The headsets were a nice addition as the Louvre was very crowded. She made sure we got to see some of the special sculptures and paintings.

This tour is a must! We gained so much from learning about the masterpieces of the Louvre through our guide Sev, who was incredible. She was passionate, very funny, and a joy to be around. The highlight of our trip. Thank you so much! Christina and Jared

Hamish, our guide, was so knowledgeable. We didn’t feel overwhelmed by what we were seeing and learning all about the art pieces you saw in books was amazing. Wonderful tour.
