Lovely experience - Going to the Louvre was something I’ve been wanting to see and although I learned that we weren’t seeing everything in the entire museum this trip, we saw many things that were powerful and beautiful. It was easy to find the group, we got right in and the guide was very knowledgeable.

Just book it. - Totally worth it. I honestly could not have imagined visiting without a guide. As a side note, our guide was Hugo and did a good job with balancing humor and knowledge. Well done Hugo. I'd recommend booking the earliest time possible. The crowds are a bit overwhelming and seeing the Mona Lisa requires a lot of patience due to the number of people. With that said, the Louvre is a must do.

Great tour! - Nazla was a great guide…very knowledgeable about the collection. With limited time and very heavy crowds, she was able to deftly move the group through the museum efficiently.

A must go tour - Who would regret visit Louvre Museum in Paris?l Our tour lady Matilda is same amazing. She's so professional and knowledgeable, seems knowing all details about the Museum and its exhibits. With a good pace,. she showed us the most worthy to see Louvre treasures and told us most interesting stories about them. We learned a lot and very enjoyed this tour even in over crowded Louvre.

Much shorter tour than advertised - Our guide was great, incorporating a lot of fun historical stories into the tour. Low rating based on the brevity. Tour was advertised to be approximately 3 hours in length. In reality, it was 1 hour, 45 minutes

Horrible, waste of money, scam - I wouldn’t recommend this tour. The meeting address is confusing since they have one address pinned and another in the directions for meet up. They won’t reach out or try to contact you if you are unable to find them. They also leave no number for contacting the guides, in the event that you can’t find the tour guide. The biggest regret of my Paris trip is booking with this company.

Disappointed in Viator and tour guide - Tour Guide was horrible! She told the group to go use the toilet (she was going to pick up the entrance tickets) as we would not be stoping on the tour. My daughter and I did so, long woman’s line, when we arrived back the group had left. (10 minutes) I contacted Viator and NO REFUND and we were left at the Louve to buy a new ticket. So disappointed in the integrity of Viator and the tour guide who could have spoken the truth that she had left us behind.
