It was our first time visiting Louvre .Our tour guide Olga was very professional and knowledgeable, we had a great experience.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am sure Olga will appreciate it. Best greetings from Paris, Vincent
If you are privileged to have Olga as your guide you will have an experience to remember in the Louvre. She is detailed oriented and knowledgeable as well as kind and gracious. Days later you might here her quiet voice once again reiterating a detail of the many paintings and sculptures she introduces you too. Excellent private tour!!
Thanks you very much for your review. Olga is an excellent professional and one of our best guides. She will be delighted to read your comment. Best greetings,
This was an excellent way to get an introduction the Louvre. Our guide, Vincent, got us into the museum efficiently and progressed through all three main areas at our pace and in orderly fashion. We were able to provide him with our areas of interest for him to focus on. Vincent was personable, knowledgeable, and knew exactly how to manage our way through what is otherwise an overwhelming experience. I highly recommend this tour!!
