Adam is amazing, entertaining and very informative
Our tour guide Nazli was excellent. She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about all the pieces at The Louvre. She was energetic and Fun and the tour moved at a good pace despite the crowds.
There is a lot of walking, wear the right shoes. However, it is worth every step. Our guide was incredible. He was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly.
Wow! Going through the Louvre is so crazy - even though we expected that, once you’re in there, it really is something else! We loved the line skipping associated with the tour for sure. We are happy we went with this team. Jonny was a tour guide, and he was outstanding! He shared so much expertise and shared so many stories and so much insight. And, his lead to Mona Lisa was so good and helpful! We’d use this team again for sure!
The Louvre can be fairly overwhelming with a lot of people there, so having Juan Carlos to assist us with both his humor and expertise was a great experience! We got to see and understand a lot of the larger/more famous pieces, which I appreciated. Juan Carlos also waited a bit past the 10:30 arrival, although we were early just incase. So I would ensure you're on time, I believe each tour guide is different in that instance. Be sure to bring a portable fan as it does get hot in the Louvre.
We had the most awesome guide of our 2 week trip, Nazly was amazing….knowledgeable, vivacious, she was the best!!!! Wonderful tour of the Louvre hitting all the key features.
Our guide was excellent! She was very knowledgeable about the history. Made our tour very interesting. My only thing I would recommend is a better explanation & visual to find the group. My self & others had difficulty with locating the group.
Jonny knows his stuff! Informative and interesting!
Jonny was an amazing guide! Funny and engaging we had a great time on our tour. Highly recommend!
Our tour guide Adam was AMAZING! His love for the arts and his knowledge on science created the best experience and most educational tour. He is a true gem and not only relates to the painting but connects the tourist life to the paintings as-well. The entire time I stayed interested in his teachings, I would 100 percent recommend him as a tour guide if I could. It didn’t feel like a tour it felt like my French friend was showing us the worlds greatest museum!
