2.00Our fast entry to the Louvre tour started out okay guide was there to meet everyone gave us vop boxes and era buds, and entry was quick. However, the guide moved very quickly and did not take into account that some people move slower and have trouble with stairs. She also tended to skip over things that she seemed to have no interest in. At one stage she told me that she knew exactly where everyone was, except 5 minutes later I lost where the group had move to as one minute I could hear her on the vop (was still in the same room looking at the other paintings, when she moved so quickly in the other direction I could no longer hear her, had to send a what's app message to my husband to find where they had gone. She spent so much time on just a few painting that some people were getting bored as not everyone wants to know who this person is and that person is related to this person in the paintings. Was rude to my husband when he asked how much longer the tour went as we were already over time, and it was very hot in there. We had other things planned so had to be places. Said that people wanted to know about the detail in the painting that's why we were late. She also had to move away from one guide, as they were talking to fast and stealing her energy, and being away would let the earth recharge her to continue the tour. Enjoyed the museum but not the tour.
Very enjoyable!!!

1.00We had difficulty getting the tickets and they refused to let us in at the Louvre. We tried to contact Viator by phone but very hard to get through to customer service. Very disappointing experience. We like to get a full refund though we spent taxi fares to and from the Louvre. Nilar nilar1@ Hotmail.com 1-410-292-8262

5.00We had Chris who was so knowledgeable about the vast collections, asked if we had preferences to see, had a sense of humor, how societies at the time influenced the painter or sculptor or where the society existed in the time of its history relative to their societies. He knew bits about the artists and allowed us a respite sit while he spoke of what we were going to see or had just seen. Excellent!!We felt we were so well served by Chris. Thank you
