The guide was informative and interesting. It was far better touring the Louvre Museum this way than wandering around ourselves. They were also patient and considerate with our little kids.
Such a great tour

Ahmed was one of the best guides we've ever had. His knowledge and kind personality made the afternoon fly by. We saw the famous pieces, didn't wait in line and were entertained and interested in the stories and history he shared. It was super hot but he kept us as cool as he could. Overall very enjoyable and informative tour.
Great curated tour!

The guided tour was great! Our guide was engaging and knew what she was talking about. As massive as the Louvre is, it was helpful to have a curated 2 hours so we got to see the highlights. The one issue I had was finding the meeting place- follow your email instructions and don't try to get in line near the pyramid! I love the individual attention and the ear buds to hear when we were far apart.
Vouchers NOT tickets SCAM

Terrible terrible customer service. I contacted the tour operator one day prior for information, no response. I contacted your operator one hour prior to confirm location, no response. I contacted your operator the day of the tour to receive my tickets, no response. No refund given. DO NOT give them 8 times the amount of entrance to the museum for this tour guide. You DO NOT receive physical tickets, you receive vouchers NOT tickets. This is a scam. They will not let you inside the museum with vouchers, you must have tickets.

We had a Wonderful experience at the Louvre. We had a small group of 6 and we were able to get in quickly with our plan. Our tour guide, Amelie was very knowledgeable, accommodating and fun to be with. She had a great sense of humor and made the tour fun. She moved us along and highlighted the key points on the tour. I recommend you ask for Amelie to be your tour guide.
