Great way to see the Louvre - Lea was a great tour guide. She has a wealth of knowledge and navigated us to the best parts of the museum. She made it a point to show the important pieces and gave us good background on them as well. Highly recommended.

Another Baby Jesus! - The tour was remarkably educational, expertly led by our tour guide Sid. He cultivated a wonderful environment, and I loved his positive atmosphere and humor. Most importantly, the baby Jesuses were all beautiful.

Local Point of View - Local view points of surrounding area of the Louvre including major landmarks and the history behind them. I appreciate the little tips of favorite spots along Seine river bank, Metro station, what to watch out for while walking around town and on the subway, and how to navigate the overwhelming artwork with how much available time we have at the Louvre.

Worth it! - What a high quality and fun tour. Me and my kids (ages 9 and 12) enjoyed it more than expected. Austin was an enthusiastic guide and also gave us some great tips for the museum (we did the outside walking tour and then skip the line tickets into the museum). Highly recommend!

Easy Louvre visit - This was an informative tour and not your typical boring one. Our Guide Sagar was very nice and has a sense of humour. He is a story teller and gave us a lot of background stories about the louvre and surrounding areas. He also recommended few arts to check out in the louvre. Highly recommended. We were lucky as the louvre was not as crowded as expected. We went on a Wednesday 10:30am tour.
