Our visit to the Louvre was made so much better by having our guide as part of a small group. The heat can take a toll - so summer travelers during the heatwave should be forewarned. We saw the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo’s, and so much more. Our guide, Florence, was incredibly knowledgeable and answered our questions while maintaining order in a somewhat chaotic environment. It would have been so overwhelming without her!
Maryam, our guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing the information on the museum’s masterpiece. She seamlessly managed a couple participants with mobility issues. The tour is highly recommended to get the most from your visit to the Louvre and enjoy the experience without getting overwhelmed.
We had a wonderful experience with our guide Florence. It was worth the price to have a professional guide us through and navigate crowds. She was fun and knowledgeable and gave us a great highlight tour. We stayed 3 hours and it flew by The most beautiful museum! Thanks Florence!!
Very nice guide who showed the the highlights and was very accommodating and very knowledgeable
Kristine was amazing!!!! She was very knowledgeable but also had great personal insight! Highly recommend her tour!!!
It is difficult to hear the guide with the electronic aid. It cuts out often, and the noise level makes understanding the guide very difficult. Because of that, we nearly missed half the tour. I suggested to the guide to occasionally say where she was located, giving some sort of reference point. Her reply was that she told us three times where she would be after visiting a specific exhibit. Problem is we did not hear that due to the noise and device cutting out as described above. Recommendation would be to require the guides to occasionally say where they are located in case someone gets lost (which happened to at least one of our party).
Dear Randy_M, We are truly sorry to hear about your experience with the electronic guide and the difficulties you encountered during the tour. It is disappointing that the equipment cut out and that the noise levels made it so hard to follow along, causing you to miss a significant portion of the tour. We also apologize for the guide's response; your suggestion to provide periodic reference points is incredibly helpful and practical. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will review both our equipment and our guide protocols to ensure we better assist our guests in the future. Thank you for your valuable feedback, and we hope to provide you with a much better experience next time.
