Impressive collection - Our guide Joseph was great. He was very likable and informative. The collection of the Louve is vast and impressive. Skip the line feature was great. Maybe should have done the earliest morning tour for less crowds.

Highly recommended - We've visited the Louvre before and wanted a different experience. Our guide Olga certainly fulfilled our expectations. Obviously passionate about the Louvre and art in general, she provided us with some gems and insight into some of the artwork and the building - which in itself was very interesting. We were a party of 5 and given that the Louvre was crowded and noisy, an audio guide system may have elevated our overall experience.

Not worth the cost. Go by yourself - It was rushed and very expensive. Guide was knowledgeable but focused on what he wanted not what we asked.
