Great tour - Fantastic tour, we loved this and having a guide so well knowledgeable was fantastic, she provided information on the best must see pieces and a great description of each artwork, we then opted to stay longer and check out our own areas of interest after the tour. well worth doing and grate value.

A good morning tour - Matthew did a great job. I learned several new things and I was glad he included the castle history, and the history of the museum that houses the museum I also liked the description of the historical periods in art. It was also good to finish early and look around.

Louvre Guided Tour - The guided tour with Caroline was great. She is well educated on French history and culture. She was patient considering the crowded environment. It was over before we knew it.

Worth the cost to skip the line and learn some fun facts - Our guide was wonderful. Although it was tough to find the meeting spot it was worth paying to skip the line and hear facts from here while highlighting some of the most famous pieces.

Great tour - Enjoyed it very much. Only down side was that you didn’t get individual tickets so had to be careful after tour ended. Great tour overall

Great Tour - My son and I enjoyed our tour. It was very informational. It was about an hour and half long which was just right. We got to hit the highlights in the museum with the guide then went our on our own to see a few more areas.

Amazing must do place to visit - The Louvre museum is absolutely amazing with so much historical art work to view. The tour we took was fine, it was great that they pointed out the top most famous pieces of art work and we were able to get through the line quickly with skip the line privilege but overall the tour seemed very rushed and it is so crowded in the museum that it’s difficult to see and appreciate the art work during the brief time you are at each location. The guide keeps moving and at times with the crowd it is hard to keep track of where she was. Fortunately we went on a Friday so after the tour was over we had time to revisit the sites that we wanted to spend more time at and visit much more of the museum. Once the tour is over you can spend as much time in the museum that you want up to closing so we took advantage of that saw so much more. Overall the tour I would say was worth it due to the skip the line part and showing you where the top art is but to really enjoy the museum be prepared to spend several more hours on your own after the tour.
