Traveler reviews
Six was very...
Sid was very knowledgeable and made the experience fun. The small group of only 6 people was also a plus.
Take the tour then wander afterwards
The paintings were extraordinary, Mona Lisa was just a small portion of the fun. Elena was our guide and appreciated that she walked us first to all the exits to get our bearings (the museum is huge), the lockers and the bathrooms. Strongly suggest you take a guided tour first (less queueing and the entry is on the arch side) then wander around your own time. We took the 345pm one which was less crowded (was super easy to get to Mona Lisa!) But downside we didnt have time to go around again. Note there is an underground mall with food and shopping past the security (but without needing tickets yet) and you can hang out there instead of the plaza with the pyramid.
Too good to believe
It was wonderful. The guide was very knowledgeable and great
The best way to visit the Louvre
Liz was our tour guide - her knowledge of the Louvre is outstanding. She even told us the best places to stand to really appreciate the best angles of the sculptures. Despite there being another tour running simultaneously with ours, she was conscientious of that group and ours and her timings between items was impeccable- we seamlessly slotted around each other ensuring that as a group we got front row views each time. Her information started from the minute we walked thru the door, she spoke with huge knowledge and passion. The audio was great, it was via an earpiece that was supplied by Liz to each person and the quality and comfort of wearing it was great- there wasn't a time that I couldn't hear with clarity what was being said. I would 100% recommend this trip, it was fantastic value for money and gave us far more info than a self guided tour would have offered.
10/10 Highly recommended...
10/10 Highly recommended Leo, very knowledgeable about his history of the museum. Would definitely do again!
