Bad
It was a free museum weekend in Paris & couldn’t even find our guide with the crowds , after contacting him, still couldn’t meet! A lot of money for nothing😡
Operator response
Bonjour Anne,
We are sorry you had difficulty meeting your guide. The meeting point is at our agency to make finding the guide easier, especially when the Louvre is very crowded. Even when clients are late, our guide calls them and waits 15 minutes for them to reach the agency. We regret the confusion and hope to welcome you again.
Cordialement,
Alice de France Tourisme

Highly recommend this tour
Our first trip to Paris so wanted to see the louvre. The museum was beautiful and our tour guide was amazing! He told us so much history about things and told it in such an interesting way. Definitely kept our interest and learned a lot about how the building started small and how it kept growing larger and why. Told a lot of history on the sculptures, paintings, frames etc. great tour!

Guide was late, not good.
Disappointing experience. The tour guide, Sinsie was fifteen minutes late arriving at the meeting point. Then, there was a fifteen minute walk to the Louvre. That total of thirty minutes was deducted from our tour length. So in short, we lost thirty minutes of our tour, which was not made up, because the guide was late in addition to the transit time.
The guide was not particularly engaged with us.
Would not recommend.

Louvre Highlights.
Was great. Love that we could avoid the crowds. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Was informative and adaptable. This small group tour ended up just being the 2 of us. Was nice to head to highlights of the museum and not worry about figuring where to go or how to see things. We had an enjoyable time
