Unforgettable Louvre: VIP Skip-Line Guided Art Journey

As you can imagine, Paris around the holidays is crazy with tourists. The check in location for this tour was not clear. We were not contacted initially with how to locate our guide once at the Louvre( only with where). Finally I did identify the guide with having a red vest. It would be helpful if the guides had a red flag as well to see this above the crowds. My guide did not and thus I was separated many times from my group. I ended my tour alone and was unable to return my tour sticker as advised.

Guide was so enthusiastic about the art and provided background to enhance the viewing experience. We were able to wander around to other areas after the tour finished

Our guide, Cecile was just magnificent. A trained art major and historian she truly captured the story telling of the major pieces at the Louvre and the hours just melted away. I really enjoyed the overall experience despite the crowdedness of the Louvre.

Be there 15 to 20 mins before actually time starts... just helps with tour starting on time and the guide knowing where everyone is. Tour was just our guide guiding us through the Louvre to significant art works like Mona Lisa. They don't give commentary if you are hoping for that. We beat the queues.... straight through security.... price was large because I booked two days before over Christmas... my fault. Book earlier if you know your schedule. Our guide Naomi was lovely and spoke English. We lined up at the Mona Lisa a little too long and missed the rest of our guided tour but that was our fault as the crowds were big and Naomi explained what time she had to leave to keep tour going. She explained all thos at the start of the tour so we were all aware. She told us the sites to go through if anyone decided to leave the tour or got stuck at sites.

Experience was great. At least it gave us less of a line-up at the entrance. A little too quick on majority of the areas of the tour. But you have time to revisit any art after the official tour completed.

Louvre unreliable open time - our time was 9:30; guide peaked 3 of group 5 min late due to traffic. Then we all had to wait in line until at least 10:30 for Louvre to open. Guide / tourwas only ok - 98% of us left to go on our own before last exhibit. Think maybe audio tour would have been more worth while.

Fabulous tour . Our guide Handy was excellent. The Louvre museum is so vast and you can spend hours exploring. Loved every room and took loads of photos. . Highly recommended . It is a must when visiting Paris

Very good experience. Our guide, Gaetano, gave a good brief round up of the masterpieces, together with the main points of the Louvre.

Clear instructions on where to meet. Great guide! A little costly, but worth it to skip the line Would recommend.

It was effortless and pleasant with direct access to the Mona Lisa. The Louvre is massive (to say the least) and confusing even with a map. This is the perfect way to see the most visited area.
