Ferit is awesome
Our tour guide Ferit was absolutely exceptional. Very personable and able to make the tour educational without being boring. We’d give him six stars if we could.

A tour of Egypt at the Louvre
We were mainly interested in seeing the Egyptian treasures on display at the Louvre. Thierry made sure we saw the ones we most wanted to see plus so many more. Additionally, he showed us the history of the Louvre, some of the other highlights, such as the royal jewels while we were there. It was a fascinating, in-depth and memorable tour.
