4.00The Quiet Box ..to hear the guide …is not very efficient. I used my personal ear buds , old school pin style plug , to hear better. The single earpiece leaves much to be desired…lots of noise and drowns out the guide.
Claudia is the best!

5.00Great tour with a great guide, Sid. So glad we went with a paid tour. The Louvre is HUGE and there is just too much. Sid hit the highlights and then helped us orient to where we wanted to go and what we wanted to see. Folks, the cost was SO worth it. Easy, quick entry, great explanations of the art and just wonderful commentary. Our only regret was the wasted time to get close to Monna Lisa. Should have skipped it and spent more time viewing better paintings, the medieval understructure or the Egyptian exhibits, which were unbelievable. City tours was the way for us!!!
On time, knowledgeable...

5.00Felix was amazing!!! What better guide than a history professor!!! The Lourve is huge. So much to see and so little time. I was amazed to hear the bistro of the building, how it was built and how it came to be. We also got a great history lesson Paris and the revolutions. No idea they were so tied together. The art was outstanding. Felix was personable and gave phenomena detail to bring the stories alive. We learned so much about why the pieces he decided to focus on were historically significant. And yes, of course we saw the Mona Lisa!!! You can’t take a trip to the Lourve without a stop to see that famous lady.
Fun for all ages. Grumpy teenagers to mischievous 7 year olds.

5.00I missed my first tour of the Louvre and the staff were nice enough to rebook me with the next group. Sid was my tour guide and I’m certain I ended up exactly where I was supposed to be.
