We were less than 5 mins from arrival point and the tour wouldn't wait. The Paris traffic was beyond difficult to navigate in a timely manner for less than 1.5 mile drive. We begged the operator to move our time to another time bc we were stuck in traffic but she said if we weren't there they were leaving and hung the phone up and wouldn't pick up our call any more. Rude staff, very dismissive, & not understanding. Would not recommend or use in any scenario possible.
We’re sorry we couldn’t accommodate a later arrival. Louvre tickets and entry times are strictly scheduled, so the group cannot be held once the tour is due to begin. We understand how frustrating Paris traffic can be and regret that the experience felt dismissive. Please contact us at feedback@crowntours.com with your booking details so we can review what happened. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Sid not only led clearly with great knowledge and enthusiasm, he brought French and World history alive. Funny, kind, cheerful, passionate. If we were to come back again, for any relevant tours, we would request this man!
Sid’s knowledge, humor, and passion clearly transformed the Louvre into a vivid journey through French and world history. We’re delighted that his warmth and enthusiasm made such a lasting impression, and we’ll gladly share your wonderful feedback with him. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Elena was a great guide! I appreciated her attention to detail when explaining the artwork. She made sure to answer everyone’s questions and we learned so much from her!!
Thank you for the lovely review! We’re glad Elena’s detailed explanations and thoughtful answers helped you get so much more from your Louvre visit. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
The guide was smart and knowledgable 30 minutes to get started, locker, bathroom and directions out of 2 hours, very little art scene, too much focus on sexual activities and politics while putting guests especially children on the spot...
We’re sorry that the tour did not meet your expectations. Your concerns regarding the delayed start, limited time with the artworks, and the nature of some of the commentary are important, particularly where children were involved. Please contact us at [feedback@crowntours.com](mailto:feedback@crowntours.com) with your booking details so our team can review the experience properly. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
This was a great tour! The guide Fabian was great, very informative and fun and considerate. She didn’t try and cram everything in but gave us great context to the Louvre itself.
We are so glad You enjoyed our Louvre Tour with Fabian and I am so glad she was informative, fun and considerate. Sky Crown Tours
Your was good. Very busy and crowded in the Louvre. Would have liked more information about other parts of the museum. But overall beautiful museum and a must see. Mona Lisa was crowded but they moved people though quickly
Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the Louvre and found the tour worthwhile, despite the crowds. We also appreciate your feedback about wanting more information on other parts of the museum. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Unfortunately we missed it. The meeting point directions were confusing when not reading it thoroughly. "Arc de Triomphe du Carrousel" is across from the Louvre and not the actual one. The team tried to get us on the next 2 tours meaning if someone did not show up, we would go in their place but to no avail. I was told by one of the team members that it happens often.
We are so sorry you could not get to the tour, despite our staff's attempts. we will change the description of the meeting point in the voucher to make sure future guests would not make this mistake. thank you for choosing crown tours. hope to welcome you again. Sky Crown Tours
Elena was an excellent, knowledgible guide. We got to see main masterpieces within 2 hours with wealth of additio al detailes
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that Elena’s knowledge helped you discover the Louvre’s main masterpieces within two hours, along with so many fascinating details. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
The guide provided some good information but did not need their political views tied into it. Please stick to the tour and relevant information. We really didn’t get as much from this tour as we would have thought. Would have preferred a more complete tour of the Louvre.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry the tour did not meet your expectations. A guided visit should focus on the Louvre, its art, and its history, so we regret that some commentary felt unrelated and that the selection of highlights was not as complete as you had hoped. We will review your comments with our team. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
