Louvre with a great guide, Florence
We enjoyed a wonderful experience with Florence, our guide. So knowledgeable about all the art in the Louvre, and we appreciated learning about more than just the highlighted art pieces. She’s terrific, so ask for her for your next visit!

Louvre Experienced
Frederick was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Visiting the so called key pieces but also sharing some interesting insights. Well worth doing…
M
Amazing!
I’ve said in another review that I’m new to these “partial” tours. This was really just a brief intro to the Louvre and a fast track to the Mona Lisa. But it was ESSENTIAL. The Louvre is so big and so crowded and there are so many things to see, that a tour like this that makes getting in easy and takes you to a place that you would have taken twice as long to find yourself is amazing. The Mona Lisa wasn’t even my most important reason for seeing the Louvre, but it was a great place to start. Chris (Christelle) was entertaining and showed us key art and told us great stories about history and “The Da Vinci Code.” It was a great way to see several famous things while getting your bearings. Well done!
