Very disappointing experience. I arrived more than 20 minutes early for my Louvre tour and could not find any guide or representative at the meeting point. I called support multiple times with no answer, and the only reply came after the tour had already started. For a tour that cost nearly €300, the organization and customer support were unacceptable. They also refused both a refund and a rescheduling despite the situation.
Very informative, good observation points
Hola Melissa, Muchas gracias por tu amable comentario. Nos alegra saber que disfruto del tour y que ha apreciado los detalles del mismo. Esperamos volver a verle pronto. Saludos, Paris City Vision
Good tour, lovely museum the Louvre
Dear traveler, Thank you very much for your comment. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the tour and that you like the museum. We hope to see you agian soon. Kind regards, Paris City Vision
The tour guide was very pleasant but her commentary was almost unheard due to the VERY poor quality of the headset we were provided with. It was almost impossible to hear most of what she said. For the price I would expect a decent set of headphones and to be able to hear what she was saying.
Dear Gilly, Thank you for your comment. We sincerely regret that the quality of the audio system did not allow you to fully enjoy the guide’s explanations, despite their good efforts and attitude. We take your comments very seriously and will pass them on to the relevant department for review, as our aim is always to provide a comfortable and high-quality experience. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again under better conditions. Kind regards, Paris City Vision
Loved it. Very crowded but the earphones helped make it more intimate. Guides was wonderful and the ladies who we met with gracious.
It was a fast track to the main attractions at the Louvre with the guide “Monty” who was knowledgeable and quick
The Louvre is crowded and overwhelming. Even though we had visited it before, we deeply appreciated our guide Julian’s lead through the many galleries and his help to focus our attention on a finite number of masterpieces. Somehow, in all the crowds, he managed to give us a good dose of French history (especially about the palace itself), a mini-lesson in art history, and background and both artistic and cultural context for the treasures we viewed (including the Sphinx, Venus de Milo, Victoire de Samothrace, Fra Angelico Coronation of the Virgin, David and Delacroix, and of course Da Vinci and Michelangelo). We would have been at sea in the place without him. The tour also allowed us to streamline the process of getting in, so our two hours were spent admiring art, not the backs of those ahead of us in line. The company uses clever audio radios, so you can always hear your guide above the crowd noise, and no shouting or shoving is required! Julian turned what might have been a frustrating experience into an awe-inspiring journey through time.
We missed the tour since we were lost. The company offered no alternatives or refund, not even a partial refund. This was an expensive tour and we always book through Viator because we feel they have quality venues and can rely on them if something goes wrong. This was horrible service
We paid for a small group guided tour, promised 8 or less. We had double the amount of people and difficulty hearing the guide at times.
Great guide, whoo gave insightful historic information and fun facts. Easy to find meeting place, well worth the money!
