Take this Tour! - Take this tour! We were in Paris for a week and took a lot of tours while we were there, and this was by far the best! Adam was the best tour guide ever!!! He was funny, engaging and knowledgeable! The Louvre and huge and it's impossible to see everything in one visit (or a month of visits). Adam made sure we saw the best of the museum and helped us maximize our time there. We really can't say enough about this experience. If we could give it 10 stars we would. Team Adam 100%!

Great way to see the highlights - We enjoyed our tour with guide Laurence, she was great, very informative. She was a speed walker so we had to keep up. being able to pass the entrance lines, and be guided through security was great. Still had some crowds, but not terrible.

Just a Small Taste of a Magnificent Banquet - A fast-paced but exceptional visit with our very knowledgeable guide Lawrence, who shared insights into some of the well-known and not-so-well-known works of art while guiding our small group of six smoothly through the masses of people. She pointed out details and interpretations that we would never have noticed on our own. The Louvre provides free folding stools that were much appreciated when we stopped for focused information. The tour ends at closing time, so unfortunately there is no opportunity to wander on your own afterward. Highly recommend.

Closing time at the Louvre - The guide was on time and was easily identifiable. Natalie was very enthusiastic, and extremely knowledgeable on her art and history of the museum. She made the tour fun and exciting for some of the children that were in the group by asking questions and including them. She is the best.

Perfect Tour - Absolutely loved this tour! Our guide brought along his IPad to show us different examples through out the tour. Really helped to give us a full understanding of some of the many pieces we saw
Very knowledgeable and kind. Gave us time to linger as we went but made sure that we saw all of the high points through out the museum.

Engaging, exciting, entertaining! - Adam was amazing! He’s truly an expert in his field. We were engaged the entire tour (which we’ve never experienced before) and learned so much about art, sculptures, and the artists themselves. Doing this “after hours” made it much easier to get around. There were some crowds but Adam was able to get us in the best spots. I am already planning our next trip back to include several tours with Adam! Team Adam for life!

Closing Time at the Louvre with Team Adam - Our guide Adam was enthusiastic and knowledgeable on the Louvre itself as well as the pieces on display. The tour was fun and educational. Adam shared history/details about the techniques used to create the pieces, what we can/have learned from the pieces, and how we can determine origins or what statues may be an original or a replica with a few key details. There were several Leonardo da Vinci paintings on display. Adam showed us those (and other pieces from around the time) before the Mona Lisa to tell us more about the techniques Leonardo used and demonstrate how revolutionary and influential Leonardo was. This also helped us have a greater appreciation for the Mona Lisa.

So much more! - There is so much more to the Louvre than the paintings. The history of the building helps understand what the artist was thinking when he created.
