Description
This family Louvre adventure explores one of history’s most fascinating civilizations: ancient Egypt. This educational program is designed to encourage kids to think like archaeologists by using the Louvre’s world-renowned Egyptian collection to bring people from the past back to vivid life. Children will explore key areas of Egypt’s civilization such as the Nile River, a scribe’s workshop and a pharaoh’s crypt. In each area, children will learn to engage meaningfully with key objects using a variety of thinking tools to understand what they say about ancient Egyptian beliefs. Young archaeologists and their private guide will voyage down the Nile. In each area, decode a series of symbols allowing you to proceed to the next stage of the adventure. As a final challenge, learn how to write your name in Egyptian symbols. Please note that we do not send the tickets in advance. You will acquire the entry ticket to the Louvre directly from the guide.

Fantastic Experience
Came here to specifically call out Marva (spelling?). She was absolutely perfect. I assume other tour leaders follow same basic template. If they do —this tour is worth the money. Our tour guide did a perfect mix of first giving overviews and then diving into details based on our questions and level of knowledge. The tour is great as a quick standalone alone tour or as a precursor to going back on your own understanding where to go next based on your interests of different categories and timelines.

Disappointed
Our guide was a no-show, we waited for almost an hour. Very disappointed, especially since I booked this back in March. I am very upset and want my money back!

Absolutely, would recommend doing a tour guide if it’s your first time in Paris. I could not be any happier about my experience with my tour guide.

Very good guide, I accidentally took the English guide, but I understood very well nonetheless, he spoke in French as well.

Very bad experience.
Terrible experience; my reservation was cancelled a few hours before, without any justification. They got me another visit and they also canceled; they made me go to the Museum and they didn’t give me the service.

Cursory tour which included Louvre highlights but not in depth information. Although pleasant, not worth the cost.

Our tour with Ivan was amazing. He is extremely knowledgeable and experienced in the Louvre. Highly recommend. And I will request him for our next tour.

Service not provided
I never got a response from this vendor and didn’t get the tour. They texted me to change time from 10 am to 2 pm. I told them that new time would not work and I didn’t get rescheduled or responded to
