Reviews
It was an excellent tour. Adrian was amazing and we were able to hit all of the highlights of the Louvre along with hidden treasures. In addition, Adrian was able to provide a historical perspective of the Louvre and many of the pieces we viewed. I highly recommend any visiting the Louvre to book this tour.
Our tour guide Christophe was wonderful, and so knowledgeable. We learned so much and saw the highlights we wanted to see. For me the 2 1/2 hours was perfect. I would definitely recommend this tour
Thyago did a fantastic job leading our tour. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and engaging. His background in the tourism industry was a plus as he included details that others may overlook (like letting us sit while he explained details before entering Mona Lisa) and was interested in our feedback. He tailored the tour to our group of six. I loved skipping the lines! I would highly recommend this tour!
