Very packed as it was a... - Very packed as it was a public holiday but an experience not to be missed . We had the most amazing and knowledgeable guide who shared his passion for the works of art. We were awestruck at the Mona Lisa despite the crowds I would highly recommend this tour particularly if you get the guide we had.

Good experience with Louvre tour - We had an excellent experience with a guided tour of the Louvre. Even though it was crowded, she made sure we saw the featured items clearly and with excellent commentary.

Amazing choice! - Amazing choice! She not only took us directly to Mona Lisa but also to the main and most important art pieces . If you want to save time or don’t have the time to visit the whole museum or like me that you don’t do well with maps … then this is the perfect choice!

Mona Lisa - A lot of walking. A lot of stairs in dimly lit areas. I’m legally blind so without my wife would’ve been challenging but good tour.

Perfect Guided Tour for First Time Visitors - Fantastic experience and great value! Easy to find the tour guide outside of the museum. You are provided headphones where you can hear the guide. You get to "skip the lane" and enter through the group entrance. The guide will curate a walking tour through the museum and hit all the high points. Of course you'll also be able to see the Mona Lisa, and have plenty of time to get your photos.

Louvre priority access with guide - We were unable to get tickets to the Louvre so we bought the priority access through Viator. We did not have to wait in any lines and we had a well educated guide to take us through the museum. My only concern was that the guide was rather difficult to hear through our headphones because it was quite staticky and she also had a pronounced French accent. Although beautiful at times, it made it difficult to understand what she was telling us.

Over-the top day at the Louvre - Lovely, did her homework. Was very polite. Had a hard time with unresponsive headsets. Apologized profusely. My only concern was missing some details because she spoke to fast. I am sure she was wanting to give us as many details as possible. She chose important items to elaborate on and I very much appreciated her attention and patience. The Louvre is more than magnificent and deserves to be respected. Our guide did a super job!

Not much of a tour - We were sped walked through the Louvre with minimal guidance and no actual "tour" provided. No information was provided about any of the sculptures or art we were passing. I can't even use the term viewing because we literally had no time to stop and view anything. We essentially were hustled to the Mona Lisa, told to keep up, and then let loose into the throng of people at the Mona Lisa where we lost half our group and were then hustled onto the remainder of our "tour". I'm not sure why this is even considered a tour. Essentially we paid a ridiculous amount of money to be brought to the Mona Lisa and then to Napoleon's rooms *if you could keep up* to even get that far.
