The excellent artifacts from Egypt, Babylon and other countries, some of which were 4500 years old, were up-to-date and vividly crafted for eternity! The audio guide that was provided to us provided additional information in a clear and concise manner and was very helpful, as the museum's audio guides are currently being revised and are not available. We entered the exhibition with a moderate waiting time of 1 hour at the Carrousel entrance, as the tickets were not available until 10:30 am. So if you like exciting moments and unpredictability, you should prefer this type to any thriller. Thank you for that!

So many great pieces to look at, you're overwhelmed, but you can fill up on culture and art for weeks or months in one day. Only four stars because of one point of criticism. Point of criticism! Only 2 (two). Cafés are included in the Louvre itself. These are of course totally overcrowded. With a stay of 5-8 hours and crowds of people, a better concept should be worked on for this. Vending machines with snacks like in the train stations would be enough. The already plentiful staff could then keep an eye on it. Then maybe they wouldn't almost fall asleep...

As a family being in Paris for only a couple of days, we desperately wanted to visit the Louvre. Unfortunately all tickets were sold out. Our only option was Louvre tickets and a river cruise with Head out. I must admit, I was a little anxious booking tickets this way, but there was absolutely no reason to be. The confirmation and tickets were received within 12 hours of booking and all worked perfectly. Such an enjoyable day, which we would have otherwise missed. Would definitely use this company again.

I have seen the SLAVE for many times, but never been before looking at the famous sculpture so carefully. With the thickened back, as if he is carrying a large heavy turtle's shell, with the arms and hands bond tightly to his body, he nearly has no way to strugle, but bearing all the burden loaded on his body and his life. However strong enough are the musle and bones of his leges, there is no possiblity of freedom to look forword to, under the unbearable weight on him.

The art gallery was the best part, but apparently there were more statutes than actual art pieces. The amount of people were just too much. They funnel them in from one room to another.....began to hyperventilate and one of the employees had to assist me outside. Why are there so many employees that only speak french?....does not make any sense. The bathrooms were disgusting. You would think with that many people going through, they would clean them more iften.

Even though we had skip the line tickets, the line to skip was huge. It took about 30mins to enter. Besides the wait, we really enjoyed the Louvre. It had beautiful sculptures, paintings and artefacts. The Mona Lisa painting crowd was insane. I thought that this could have been organised so that you have to walk through and see the painting instead of people pushing all the way through to the front.

The museum layout was fabulous, gave one lots of time to really come close up to all the sculptures and paintings. The view of Mona Lisa could have been managed better with a simple proper line up vs a free for all in front.The washrooms however, were not the best, with no hand soap available and quite smelly.

The museum tour was very memorable. We were left in awe of the sheer vastness of the museum and its treasures. It was very busy though, and very hard to see everything and take time to read about the displays. Having said that we wouldn't have missed it.
