Eric’s N Paris

The Louvre is an incredible museum and not to be missed. Sandra, our guide was delightful and shared some great insights. She is very educated and her excitement is contagious. Be aware though, if you go during the summer the crowds are huge.

I liked it

We had very short stay in Paris, and this visit was like a 'chance' for me and my son to attend the Louvre. Price was quite high, but we didn't spend time in the terrible queue and had fast access to the museum. Many thanks to our amazing Guide Valeria: we could oversee the most famous artworks in the Louvre (means, come close and take the pictures. It was important because of huge number of visitors inside) and discover many interesting historical facts.

The tour offers a substantial experience of what the Louvre has to offer. If you’re lucky enough to get Blerta Meraj for a guide, you can expect to be heavily informed and equally entertained. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
