Camille was fantastic - The tour was very well organised. The tour guide Camille was fantastic. She was lively, informative and very good. This was my third trip to the louvre but this was the best. We didn't have to wait in queue. She showed the main attractions of the louvre and then we had time to spend on our own.

Reliable, Pleasant and Knowledgeable Guide! - Melville was awesome! It was pouring rain and I thought it would cause a delay but he was on time and ready to greet us with a smile. We were only 8 ppl in our group which was perfect. We saw all the “must see” sites at the Louvre. We were all very happy!

Lovely experience at the Louvre - Our guide was so knowledgeable about the history and complexities of the pieces in the collections. She added so much to our experience. I also can't stress enough how beneficial booking a tour with "skip the line" was on our trip to Paris.

Go directly to Louvre website and buy there... - Terrible experience. Got my money robbed. Scheduled Tour for Louvre 10 am. But the Ticket retrieval place (was walking distance though) but opened later than 10 am... Tour Guide would not accept me as I arrived late....late because they opened counter late. Put a claim to try to refund or reuse on a later hour/day and this is waht I got: Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to offer a refund. We apologize that you were not able to fulfill your travel plans, and hope that we may be of service to you in your future travels. Regards, Danica Shane Viator Customer Service

Complete and Utter Failure - What a waste of time, money, and energy. The only reason our family signed up for this was to get fast-tracked through the Louvre. Otherwise we would have been in line for hours for each popular exhibit, which wasn’t an option. Well…Our guide never showed up even though we met at the designated site 30 minutes early. Attempted to contact the tour operator directly through the info provided. No response. Reached out to Viator customer service, and after 20 min of holding and waiting, discovered that the tour guide never “approved” the tour (whatever that means), therefore the tour would not be happening. This was puzzling since I received multiple email confirmations of the tour and was charged for it. Viator apologized for their error and offered to refund me, but unfortunately this was our last day in Paris (and there weren’t any later tours available) so we were unable to see the Louvre. I’ve booked dozens of tours and excursions through Viator over the years and have never had this happen. This is 100% on them. Beyond disappointed.
