The Louvre is a chaotic place. The number of visitors that pass through is incredible, and most are more focused on taking selfies than appreciating the art and history that the Louvre has to offer. Our guide, on the other hand, was exceptional. She made the visit even more extraordinary, helping us navigate bathroom breaks and ensuring we understood the rich history of the Louvre, which dates back to the earliest days of Paris. She accommodated my wife's mobility issues well and even recommended we request a wheelchair at the security entrance. I highly recommend this experience for anyone visiting Paris and the Louvre. Don't try to do it on your own!
