The Louvre is must-see and this guided tour is highly recommended! - Hisham was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable and knew his way around very well. He was funny and informative, nice and well-educated. Skipping the line was great, too!

More bucket list items ticked off - This was a great tour. Even though we didn't enter until 5.40, the crowds were still quite big. However, our guide Nazle made navigating them a breeze and she was able to get us in front of all the pieces, especially the Mona Lisa . Her knowledge was exceptional and she really explained everything well. Glad we stayed with her till the end, as we were able to see the Venus d Milo and the Sphinx without any crowds. Thankyou Nazle for this.

Super tour, super guide - Wei was a great guide. He knows so much and made the tour so interesting for us. The 5:30 time was perfect as the busy time had gone meaning we got to see everything on the tour without long queues or big crowds. The Louvre is an amazing place to visit and this tour the perfect way to see all the ‘major’ attractions and get the extra benefit of the guides wonderful knowledge.

Worth the guide - The crowds were overwhelming and sometimes frustrating when trying to follow the guide but the headphone system worked very well even when we got separated from the guide. There was still a long line to get in and go through security, but would have been worse if we had gone in alone.

Louvre - Be careful of the tour guide company changing the hour without notifying you on the day. We almost missed going due to their error. They were not helpful until the new tour guide took us on. The tour guide we did get was amazing. It’s worth seeing though you won’t get near the Mona Lisa due to heavy crowds. The museum itself is stunning, and I’m so glad we were able to go despite the obstacle.

Disappointed - Be aware that the guide may have a heavy accent and muffled voice making understanding what is being said very difficult. My friend who has hearing aids was very frustrated and I did not understand much either. He was rushing also.

Tour company impossible to connect with if needed - We were not able to find the tour guide at the specified location and when we called their contact number, no one answered. We tried several times and several ways to contact them with no luck. Viator wasn't even able to connect with them. So no tour and they refused to give us a refund. Very sad.
