5.00The tour was as billed. We were able to see parts of the Louvre we hadn’t seen on previous visits, learn more history and details and see the highlights without being overwhelmed. All of this while skipping the very long line.
Excellent

4.00It’s a good option especially with kids, really good to have a guide! Our guide was really good!! Only down side is they only really got the most popular pieces. But so worth it, the meeting locations are not marked beforehand, and they don’t have songs which is really dumb and hard to navigate. If the fixed that it would be a 5 star!
