  Tour its self was good. However it was advertised as 1 1/2 hours. Tour inside Lovure was only 1 hour. Other 30 minutes was waiting in line to get it. Not what I expected

• A peaceful viewing of the Mona Lisa

  This tour has you meeting your guide before the Louvre opens so you’re first in the queue. While you wait the tour guide chit chats and gives some museum information. When the museum opens your high tail it (no running) to the Mona Lisa so you get there a few minutes before the rest of the mob. This affords a quieter, semi private viewing. You then spend some time talking about the Mona Lisa and exploring a few more important art pieces. Achilles was our guide. He spoke perfect English and was interesting and personable. He gave us recommendations for how to spend the rest of our time at the Louvre. He also taught us about French culture. My family liked him very much. If you have the cash to burn, take this tour for a less chaotic viewing of the most famous painting in the world.

• Don’t go to the Louvre without booking a tour!

  The early morning rush to the Mona Lisa can be overwhelming. Achille got us there quickly and we were among the first to see the artwork before the crowds. Most important for us though, was the perspective Achille provided on all of the artwork we viewed, helping us better appreciate what we were seeing and why it was important, not just famous. 10 out of 10!

  Totally worth the money. Our guide was very knowledgeable and we got in quickly to see the Mona Lisa before the crowds.

• Didn't get first viewing or full tour

  We were at the meeting location 15 minutes before our required time as requested. We were met by a representative pretty quickly. At 8:35 he informed us that our guide was running behind due to an issue on the metro caused by the storms the night before, but she would be there by 8:45. He instructed us to wait near the entrance. At 8:45, he told us that our guide was on her way and would be there by the time the gates opened. A few minutes later he told us that she would be another half hour. We had paid for early entry in order to see the Mona Lisa without the crowds, but we were now not going to get that as we could not enter without our guide. The representative who met us told us that he could send us our tickets to enter without our guide or we could wait for her and still get our tour. Since part of the reason for booking the tour was to have someone knowledgeable with the Louvre guide us, we opted to wait for our guide as we understood that she should be there by 9:25. When she wasn't there by 9:25, we were again given a time of another "15 to 20 minutes." She finally arrived at 9:45. Our understanding was it was to be a 2 hour tour, so that's what we expected. When she arrived she explained that she had to get to another tour at 10:30 and that she would show us what she could until she had to leave for the 10:30 tour. She was very kind, and we understood the issue for her, but we did not get what we paid for. We not only paid a considerable amount extra for first entry, but also a 2 hour guided tour and we only got about 35 minutes. I'm not sure why the representative wasn't versed in the museum so that he could start the tour for our guide until she got there. We had 2 major problems - we did not get first entry, nor did we get our full tour.
