Highly recommend booking... - Highly recommend booking a tour. The line was very long for people just going in on their own. We skipped right thru that whole process. John our guide was so knowledgeable and I appreciated learning things I never would have known without him.

Fabulous - We met at the statue beside the pyramid which seems to be where all the tours meet.
Our guide was AVI and he was a wonderful New Yorker. He certainly knows his stuff and a bit of humour thrown in too.
We had an interesting, informed tour and did not notice the time passing.
Would definitely recommend this tour and guide.

Definite recommend - Avi was a great guy. He was funny but so well informed he made the massive amount of information there is to take in about the history of the lieu very digestible for someone who doesn’t really know anything about art such as myself. We got really lucky and happened to have a quieter day so we got a very close look at the Mona Lisa as well as the rest of the highlights. We went for the tour at 12 PM on a Thursday and we were really glad that it wasn’t as busy as it usually is. We liked how the tour ended inside of the loop so that we could walk around and explore on our own after. Definitely worth it if your first time going to the loop so that you can get an idea of some of the basics, it was so inspiring how much art and how much history there really is to learn about. We loved it, thank you Avi!

Louvre museum - I booked this ticket online through Viator. I tried several times to find the place to meet. The websites has a lot to be desired. It had difficulty at first downloading our ticked. I checked the site for meeting place for the tour and only after the tour did I receive a written message to meet out front by the horse statue. Our tour guide, Helin was wonderful. Her knowledge of what we saw was great and the history she presented us gave us such a great understanding of the art. All in all it was a great tour.

Entertaining Tour! - Avi was an amazing tour guide. He is friendly, knowledgeable and kept us entertained the entire time. He managed our large group well and it only took him minutes to memorize where everyone was from, which he referenced often throughout. He provided great knowledge, gave us quizzes and riddles and made tasteful jokes all the while making sure to try and engage each guest in our group. As large as the Louvre is, it would be overwhelming without an expert to seamlessly usher you around to the best highlights and Avi was excellent at it. The entire process was simple, on time and a wonderful experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reconnaissance of the Louvre - Avi was efficient, knowledgeable and entertaining. He engaged well with our group, remembering where everyone came from, which clearly helped him not to lose anyone. One of the very best guides I've come across.
The tour itself was very informative - I reckon this was down to a good teaming of both the company and the individual. He knew his stuff and I learnt bits and pieces I didn't expect - they felt like bonus tidbits.
I booked this tour, as I had never been to the Louvre, and I figured a guide would be a good idea.
Did what it said on the tin and good value too.
