Our guide was Nazli, she was vibrant and friendly, as well as being very knowledgeable. The tour we did was highlights, so didn’t miss anything. Definitely recommend doing a guided tour. Also had the opportunity to further look around after the tour.

Directions to the site were written very poorly. Other tours post a link for sections that lead you’ll to the exact spot you should gather. City Tours fails to do this and I’ve missed to my events because I used the directions provided in the information in the email. DO NOT BOOK ANY TOURS WITH CITY TOURS!!
Excellent! Nazli was...

Ask for Hamish! He was so amazing. I absolutely loved his commentary and knowledge throughout the museum. We started with a security issue, but Hamish navigated flawlessly and kept us up to the minute with updates. Once we entered, we made our way down to the free lockers. It made such a difference to put down our things and get comfortable for our full tour. The price of this tour was amazing as I believe we got more bang for our buck! The Louvre is a place you could visit everyday for a year and still not see everything. Hamish had a hard job guiding a large group to the most important pieces and I think he did an amazing job. I love that we didn't spend forever at the Mona Lisa, but super excited I learned about some of Da Vinci's other pieces. I would literally follow Hamish around and listen to him talk about DaVinci all day. And the Winged Victory? Well you just have to see for yourself as it is otherworldly. The tour ended in the museum so you could take advantage of the additional time and explore what you hadn't seen. This tour was one of the best I've been on. Ever. Truly well done.
Fantastic tour with Summer!

Our tour guide Summer did an absolutely fantastic job! She was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the pieces at the Louvre. She answered all of our groups questions and really gave us such a rich tour. We would not have enjoyed the museum nearly as much without her knowledge, story telling, and passion. If I could give 6 stars I would!!

Perfect tour to capture the highlights of the palace. Our tour guide made it very interesting. She was friendly and knowledgeable- and had a good sense of humour.
