Incredible but somewhat disappointed

2.00Guide was very knowledgeable. However, spending 10+ minutes at each of the art pieces she took us too was way too much history. Blending colors, technic used and asking and waiting for answers if we thought Jesus was depicted in the painting was not needed (maybe in transition) but not standing at the pieces looking at them for 20+ minutes We could have seen and experienced more art and areas of the Louvre instead of just the few.
Should not miss!

5.00The Louvre is a must tour experience not to to miss when you're in Paris! My group had Felix as our tour guide, very witty! I chose the last tour session, 6pm, so by the time our tour finished up it was closing time so I wasn't able to stay extra long after the tour to enjoy every painting or statues we passed. However, the 6pm did allow more movement space in the museum so we weren't squeezing in between so many people, and we had more space to enjoy each at piece we stopped at, as well space to take a proper photo.
Addie is lovely!

5.00Addie was a wonderful tour guide. She was so knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. She was patient with us and helped us navigate the giant crowd. I would not have wanted to try the Louvrefor the first time without her guidance.
To crowded.

4.00Gorgeous museum. Knowledgable and nice tour guide but not very engaging. Microphone system only has one earpiece and was hard to hear.
