Worth the price - The tour was great. I really appreciated our tour guide Daniel. He was very knowledgeable about the museum and kept the tour very light and friendly with his sense of humor.

Wonderful 30,000-foot “fly over” tour - The tour was the perfect entry into the vast world that is The Louvre. Our guide, Iasson, was the consummate host and expert. He made sure we all stayed together in a very crowded environment. Iasson really focused our attention on some of the finer points so that we could more deeply appreciate the artists and their works. He also weaved in the historical and cultural background. Bravo!

Excellent way to see Louvre - Andreina was an outstanding guide. She was friendly and helpful in providing the color and context of what we were seeing. She helped navigate the crowds in a professional and patient manner, focusing on the museum’s highlights. Would absolutely recommend. Being able to skip the primary line is a bonus to this option, as well as working with a smaller tour group. This is the way to go.

Fabulous! - We had the most incredible tour with Christophe. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to learn the history of the building and the major works. It is a super strong overview of the Louvre and Christophe was incredibly knowledgeable.

The Louvre - The tour with Daniel was excellent - very informative and guided us to the important pieces. Would recommend this tour otherwise we would have missed many important pieces and wouldn’t have heard so much about the history of the art.

Amazing Tour Guide! Josef is Amazing - Josef was a fantastic tour guide! He was super funny, friendly and engaging! Josef was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, you could tell he has a passion for art. He did a great job of showing us as much of Le Louvre as time allowed, while making sure we were all together and moving as a group, no one was ever left behind. One of the best tour guides I’ve ever had!

How to Survive the Louvre - Our guide Chris was excellent and informative and shepherded our little group through the crowded museum, using the group entrance and strategically picking paths of access. Everybody wants to see la Jaconda. All you can see is elbows and cameras unless you want to elbow your way to the front. Forget about that, there is much else to see and our guide pointed us toward the most interesting pieces. After we had free time to wander and found less crowded spaces. It was very hot. Look for the floor vents that have cool air. Overall it was a great experience.
