It was easy to find the group meet stop. It was awesome we got a locker and a special bathroom before we started too! This place is huge and loved it all. Merci!

5.00Our guide, Martin, was excellent. We didn’t wait in line very long to enter since we were on a tour. Even though very crowded inside the museum, Martin kept us all together. Lots of standing and stairs.

Loving the Louver

5.00"Z," our guide, was excellent; he kept the group at a doable pace for all, especially with the crowds. He explained a lot about the art pieces and incorporated historical context to give everyone an idea of what was going on at the time. Gave suggestions on where to stand to take pictures, especially at the Mona Lisa. He answered questions, and at the end of the tour, he was patient and made sure everyone knew what direction they were headed to get where they wanted to go. The Louver is humongous, and it would have taken us much longer to find the highlights without this tour.
Avi was awesome at the Louvre!
