Traveler reviews
Mindblowing fun!
Violette was incredible. She is an extraordinary storyteller with factual knowledge/ context/ perspective that afforded all of us a deeper experience. At the conclusion you feel like you’ve made a new very smart friend.
Recommended - A great tour to see some highlights and history!
Our experience was excellent - Our guide was knowledgeable and really made the pieces we visited come alive with the history - She did a great job of intertwining the art, the artist, the museum and the county. The crowds were manageable, it was easy to find out guide and the pace and pieces we visited were great.
Great Tour of the Louvre
We loved this tour. The Louvre is massive, and we would have been lost otherwise. Our guide was so knowledgeable, and really made the pieces of art come alive. Going later in the day also made a huge difference. We were able to walk right up to the Mona Lisa without standing in any line. It is definitely a long tour, with a lot of walking (and steps) but I highly recommend it.
Best way to do the Louvre
Violette was the perfect guide! Knowledgeable, funny, and personable, she answered every question we threw at her and moved us through all the hits in a smooth, logical order. Tour information is totally accurate; we were some of the last people in the room with the Mona Lisa at the close of the day. If you are visiting the Louvre, book this tour- its definitely the hack. You also get fast entry.
Would book again in a heartbeat
This tour was incredible. Antoine was so knowledgeable and passionate about the exhibits that we were captivated the entire time. The headsets made it incredibly easy to hear everything and to ignore the noise of the crowds. I would recommend this experience to anyone.
