Great way to see the museum

I had no idea how huge this museum was so I’m thankful I went on this tour. We saw the Mona Lisa but we also saw so many more pieces of art I didn’t expect. It’s a great way to experience history and the museum.

Great information as long as you can keep up

The guide is knowledgeable and provided a lot of good information, however he went far too fast for anyone with mobility issues. The person with the wheelchair was not able to keep up and left the group with a family member to tour at their own pace.

Enjoyable guided trip to the Louvre

This experience was great! The meeting point was easy to find, we started talking on time and it was a perfect length of time. Our guide, Fetah, was amazing. He took us to see the main pieces of art and was very knowledgeable. I would recommend this tour and to request Fetah as your guide.

Tour of Louvre

Do NOT waste your money on this tour!!!!First, they started 15 late-in the hot sun!!!Once inside,the guide kept us for 45 minutes, by the entrance,where it shows the old walls!!Who cares!!We only had 2 hours and she kept wasting it on insignificant things!!!We finally left her, after an hour and half, since she was wasting time and not showing us highlights!!!

Sid was great

Tour guide Sid was very professional and knowledgable. He was also very funny. The tour covers a small part of the museum but it was totally worth it. Sid was also very helpful with other travel related information for Paris.

Not what I expected

I didn't go to see a comedian. Sid spent too much time joking and didn't talk enough about art. He was very knowledgeable but spent a bunch of time talking about just a few things.
