Perfect highlights tour of the Louvre: fun, educational and includes both most popular and places you wouldn’t explore

5.00Blerta was an engaging and knowledgeable tour guide who offered a perfect highlights tour of the Louvre for my teenage daughter (her first) and me (my third). She combined art, museum and French history in our tour bringing us quickly past the lines and through highlights and unique areas of the vast museum. She made it feel as if the 30,000 visitors there that day weren’t there making it a personalized experience. She also explained to see everything in the Louvre you’d need almost 200 days without a break so we were thankful for her expert guidance and knowledge.
Money well spent
