Great experience. - This was a great experience if you’re short on time but want to see as much of Paris as possible. You skip the long lines which was a definite plus. The tour was short and sweet but still very informative. Annais was a great tour guide and knowledgeable of the artwork. You are allowed to stay in the museum after the tour is over. Overall, great experience if you’re short on time or with people that might get bored quickly.

Louvre with friends - Astrid led Us through the Louvre museum like a pro. She took us through all of the major exhibits and paintings, etc. We loved the Roman and Greek section. She had so much information about the Mona Lisa. She kept a nice piece and asked us at the end if there was anything specific that we wanted to see that she did not cover. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

Buy it now! - Finding the tour group was a bit difficult- look for orange hat that says “Memories France”. Had a semi private tour with Antoine which I would highly recommend! A smaller group and more intimate experience. We were swept away by his poignant delivery, wealth of knowledge, and passion. The Louvre itself was even more incredible than I could imagine thanks to his tour. Skipping the line was a huge plus

A guide is necessary! - Perrine was a great guide! First we bypassed all the lines and got directly into the Louvre. She gave us a history lesson, hit all the high points of the collection of antiquities then on to paintings. The Mona Lisa of course and Liberty, Hugo’s inspiration for Les Mis. Well worth the trip. Would have been better if the pickup point included “Orange Hat” greeter. Many groups meeting in same place.

So glad we booked! - Loved seeing and learning so much in a very brief time. The museum can be overwhelming and the tour allowed us to see all the highlights with much more ease and spend the rest of the day exploring Paris. Would recommend

Would recommend! - Great tour guide! Our guide was very sweet and informative. He had great fun facts in each room we saw and was historically accurate. Very efficient tour to see some of the Greek highlights as well as Mona Lisa. Once to tour ends with Mona you’re free to go about the museum which is a nice perk. Skipping the lines is crucial. Lots of walking & the Louvre gets very warm heads up :)

100% recommend guided tour - A great way to visit the Louvre. Rather than just wandering around looking at everything (you can’t look at everything though!) the guided took us to the most interesting & famous parts & explained what the meaning was behind the piece. You can then explore the rest of it at your leisure.
Learnt so much in the 2 hour tour- well worth the extra money- 100% recommend

My visit was helped by Tripadvisor people both on the phone and also on the ground with the coordinator and guide - It was a fantastic experience largely due to Tripadvisor. Yes the Louvre is the largest museum in the world but Tripadvisor helped make this once in a lifetime experience even more memorable
