Excellent Guided Tour - Saw all the main attractions the Louvre is famous for but also had a great insight into the history of the place and the art pieces we were introduced to.

Great 2 hour tour! - This was a great option for a very busy time, we were there during the Olympics. Our guide skipped the line and got us right in. She was very knowledgeably and kept us engaged for the full 2 hours showing us all the highlights.

Your of the Louvre - Venus de Milo and the Mona Lisa. Our tour guide was outstanding. Easy to understand and her English language skills were unaccented and easily understood. Her knowledge was communicated to us with the clarity of an experienced, gifted teacher.

Funny and helpful - Daniel was an energetic and funny tour guide. He made an extra effort to find us at the start of the tour, as the museum was very crowded and meeting on the steps was confusing. He was also very knowledgeable and used our time well.

AMAZING - I have wanted to see the Louvre and the mona Lisa since childhood and finally was able to make it. It is one of the most beautiful and largest museums in the world and well worth another visit.

Long lines but quick tour to see the greats! - We had a great tour today. It would be good to put in your description to be prepared for one hour+ time in lines and that there isn't water available in the sun. Your description of "skip the line" is deceptive as we still had entry lines and security lines which were very long. Our tour guide, Lawrence, was kind and knowledgeable and did and amazing job.

Never book a tour where you cannot get in touch with the tour operator - Total scam. Viator books tours with external tour companies where they are unable to identify the tour guide, what he/she is wearing/ or holding up a sign. My kids saw me crying outside of the Louvre for being scammed and they are unethically keeping my money. The manager at the louvre got on the phone with the tour company asking for them to give me my tickets via email or whatsapp and they were unable to. The louvre worker also told me that both Viator and this external company were either lying or treating me unfairly. They have kept $278 of my hard earned money and no tour. I have booked many many tours with viator in several countries, but NEVER after this experience where I am getting no refund (because I had no tour & I was at the Louvre on time). Viator lost a long time, repeat customer in me - but they clearly do not care. I will never book a viator tour and I am telling everyone (friends, family, coworkers) not to book with viator. You should never have a tour where you cannot directly communicate with your tour guide (Versus some random person in another country who cannot get in touch with the tour operator)
