Very informative and organized.... I learned alot. Everyone should go to the Louvre and see the museum.
A guided tour was the best choice for our first visit. With 30,000 visitors on any given day the Louvre can be overwhelming. Our guide was exceptional regarding her knowledge of the history of the site and the exhibits! We never felt rushed and it was a relief that someone else was leading the way. We saw everything we had wanted to see and at the end she pointed us in the direction of one other painting we were hoping to admire.
Very crowded. You need an experienced guide to get you through crowds. Our guide was fabulous. She was extremely knowledgeable. Very kind to everyone and enthused….
Our guide, Christiana, was wonderful. She was helpful, friendly, articulate and very knowledgeable. The Louvre is so expansive and there is so much to see that we wouldn’t have been able to maximize our time without a guide. We would highly recommend this tour.
Really enjoyed the tour guide and details shared throughout the tour. Very glad we chose a later time to visit, as the museum was closing so we didn’t have to deal with major crowds. Guide was fun, informative and friendly.
Visiting the louvre Musée for the first booking a tour is the way to go. It’s so big having a guide as wonderful as NAZLI (C1789) was the right way to go. The history and story telling was amazing.
Great experience going to the Louvre and seeing the beautiful artwork and statues. We got lucky with such a knowledgeable guide, Anna! She was terrific. Some of the paintings are enormous, and then you see all these people around the Mona Lisa, which is 20x30", so small in its size. But was great to see it. Be advised there is lots of walking, stairs, and standing. But there are a lot of seats and benches along this way which help. There is a rope by the Mona Lisa keeping visitors back about 12' or so. But I had a walking stick with me and Anna was so kind to look out for me. Apparently when you are impaired mobility-wise, you are able to go up to the front around the ropes and view the Mona Lisa. So I was lucky. Note: if you are in wheel chair, have a cane, or other mobility issues, you too can see the Mona Lisa up close.
In the sweltering heat, not to have to queue up for hours to access the Louvre was a huge relief. Our guide, Adam, was exceptional in every way - he educated us and entertained us in equal measure, regardless of age. He kept us entertained the whole time with his humour and the amazing amount of knowledge he shared.
The instrctions on where to meet were terrible. We could not find our guide. We reached out to the number they provided with no luck. It took 30 minuites to get someone on the phone who told us the guide had the tickets and we were out of luck. Terrible customer service would NEVER use this company againl.
Great tour with Adam. The highlights fit perfectly into our schedule. Guide was excellent
