This is a great way to explore the Louvre and take a cruise on the Seine, especially if you book it before your trip. During peak season, the lines are endless, and this reservation allowed us to enter easily and stress-free. Then the cruise is a unique experience—seeing Paris from the river gives you a sense of its grandeur and makes you fall in love with the city. Everything was perfect. Thank you so much for the impeccable service. Oh, and I regretted not booking the guided tour—I’ll do that the next time I go.

The tour guide was just absolutely amazing. She was funny and provided amazing insight on each art piece we reviewed, by providing how to look at the piece, where to stand, and providing history of each piece. Thank you Mo for a great experience!

This tour was the highlight of my trip. The guide was passionate, so well educated and a delight to listen to! You were the only company I found with a ticket available when the museum website said sold out. Read the meeting directions carefully- arrive early. It was lovely meeting people before the tour started. Truly 5 stars!

Hannah was a fabulous friendlly guide with so much knowledge to share. We moved at the right pace for the group and the tour was proactive in checking in with us when we were running late with the traffic.
