Personal and Inspiring
I went into this tour with high hopes, which were exceeded! Nea is knowledgeable, passionate, and a gifted storyteller who is able to weave history and art with both the past and present actions and culture, creating a beautiful tapestry that feeds my soul. Nea asked what we wanted to see, followed through, and was able to use our questions and responses in choosing the next room to visit. She met us where we were and took us where needed to go next, whether we could articulate these needs or not. I can’t say enough good things about Nea’s guidance in this tour. I can’t imagine choosing to go to another museum without a tour guide in the future. It was that good!!

Only way to see the Louvre.
Juan was a wonderful tour guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable and engaging. The tour is great because you learn much about the building and the antiquities that you would never really see on your own. And of course you see the main promised highlights. We’ve seen the Louvre twice before but this is really the only way to do it.
Operator response
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that Juan made your Louvre visit so engaging and informative. It’s especially rewarding to know that even after visiting the Louvre before, you discovered new details and enjoyed the experience with a guide. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Juan. Thank you for choosing Uncle Sam Tours!
