This was a very easy and well run tour. Our tour guide Caroline spoke perfect English and she told interesting stories and kept my kids engaged. Definitely recommend!

Unfortunately the museum is very overcrowded. While this is not the fault of the tour leader, she spent too much time in background leaving insufficient time for her to explain the important artists. We were rushed through the impressionist rooms. To me seeing those artists is critical to this experience. I would have preferred less time on the Paris opera house and more on the impressionists. This was a disappointing experience
