3.00Crowds lessened the experience. Loud background noise made hearing the guide difficult even on the vox system. You need a better voice system especially the guided microphone one that screens out background noise.
It's worth having a guide...!!!

5.00It's worth having a guide. Hugo was very informative and showed us the main art highlights. He also had a locker for everyone to put their stuff in during the tour.
Great tour of the Louvre with interesting depth.

5.00Anais was a great guide through the Louvre! She brought some personality to the tour, and shared a lot of history that gave deeper context for the various artworks. Really enjoyed the tour, and she kept my 8 and 13 year olds engaged for almost 3 hours, which is amazing.
Book it.

5.00It was a great high level overview that takes you through the must-sees of the museum. I feel like we could’ve seen slightly more with the time allotted (it was 3 hours and not 2.5 as written). Regardless we managed to get in and see a lot quickly with a knowledgeable guide
