Liz gave us an incredibly thorough, humorous, and engaging tour :)
Vincent, thank you for the great review! We’re so pleased Liz made your Louvre visit feel both thorough and entertaining, with the right mix of humor, depth, and engaging storytelling. It’s wonderful to know her guiding style helped make such an extraordinary museum even more enjoyable to explore. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
Our guide was Liz! She was great! She not only knew her way around the history, but also had funny stories to offer. She knows her way around the Louvre perfectly and was helpful at all times. TOP!
Thank you for your lovely review! We will be happy to share your kind words with them. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours

Thank you for such an enthusiastic review. We’re thrilled that Sylvia’s knowledge, passion for art, and exceptional storytelling made your private Louvre tour so memorable. We’ll be delighted to share your kind words with her. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
It started well. Then turned to crap. The meeting person was terrific. Friendly, informative, chatty. Then the tour guide arrived and it all went downhill from there. What was supposed to be a fairly quick (2 hour) greatest hits tour quickly descended into the most boring, disappointing, excruciating waste of time we've ever experienced on an organized tour. After being lectured about not daring to overstay our 3 hour max window at the Louvre (meaning, don't you dare break away from the group), the long slog began. Through security into a hallway with . . . stone walls. No art. Fifteen minutes of a painful lecture on the fortifications of the Louvre (when we were assured it was a tour to hit the main important artists/art) from a woman who loved the sound of her own broken English. We then moved through hallways and rooms featuring minor pieces from obscure artists. But the guide was intent on impressing us with her esoteric knowledge of ... I have no idea. She stopped often and blathered about relatives or artists or politics of the era or other forgettable details while the clock on our two hours ticked away. This went on room after room and we hadn't seen an important piece. We were now in the building for an hour and hadn't seen anything we came to see. Finally -- the Venus de Milo. Winged Liberty. and the paintings of David and Raphael. But even then, this woman droned ... and I do mean DRONED ... on about ridiculous tidbits, rather than moving along after a minute or two so we could see as many great works of art as we could fit into in our limited time. My family finally handed her our radio receivers and went to see the Mona Lisa by ourselves before we were obligated to leave due to our time running out. It was a terrible experience.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are very sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations and that the pacing, content, and guiding style left you feeling so disappointed. A Louvre tour should feel engaging, well balanced, and focused on the major works guests have come to see. We regret that this was not your experience, and we take your comments regarding the route, explanations, timing, and communication very seriously. Please send your booking reference number to feedback@crowntours.com so we can investigate the tour in detail and review what happened with the guide and itinerary. Best regards, Sky Crown Tours
