2.00Buyer BEWARE... I selected the Louvre Priority ACCESS with Mona Lisa Escort. The "tour" began with the guide indicating she "was not a licensed guide and could not provide information/commentary on any of the items in the museum, but it's ok because we were only there to see the MONA LISA... right?" The "tour" consisted of entering the museum 30 minutes late and entering with the crowds. There was no "priority Access" and the guide speedwalked through the exhibits rushing through the museum with NO explanation of what we were seeing. We were given AT MOST 10 mins in some rooms, and then we were given 10 mins to "see" the Mona Lisa. The escort would wait behind the wall, and after 10 minutes would move on. Many on the tour became frustrated and left the guide to explore the museum on their own. The guide spent about 45 mins on the "tour". Louvre tickets cost just under 25 Euros. Save your money and do the tour on your own!

3.00Our tour guide was lovely. However she had such a heavy Japanese accent it was hard to understand all of the information. I understood only half of what she said making my experience incomplete.
