It was a super day. After Headout helped us transfer the tickets to a different email address because my old one broke, we were luckily still able to go. Upon arrival, we had to stand in line for our time slot, and it was extremely hot. The staff provided a lovely cool mist, which made the wait a lot more pleasant. Once inside, it was wonderfully cool. What a huge museum this is. As Dutch people, we naturally wanted to see the Mona Lisa first, so that was our first goal. When we arrived in the room, it was already super crowded in front of the painting, but even there, everything was extremely well organized. There were people keeping an eye on things to make sure everything went smoothly. Top job!

Excellent small group guided tour of Louvre. Our guide was very informative and he shared the stories and possible meanings behind the works of art, and their place in history. He got us to the sculptures and paintings we wanted to see, and to many excellent pieces that we weren't familiar with. All while ensuring there was time to pause and reflect. Highly recommended.

The app was easy to use. I got reminder emails. The entrance into the Louvre was simple. Have your ticket open, show the staff your arrival time, line up behind your time-slot sign and then they let you in. There is bag security, down the escalator and that's it, easy-peasy! Wonderful exhibits and big crowds, be prepared for the crowds. Don't forget to grab a museum map!

So grateful I booked this tour. Guide was professional and her knowledge of the Louvre was evident. Is a great tour if you have a short amount of time or use it to get your bearings while seeing the highlights then move on and explore at your own pace after the tour. Highly recommend

Antoine was simply marvellous. He had a good grasp of history and a light hearted way of delivering the important facts. He was animated and made us laugh several times whilst describing the paintings and elements of the building.

The Seine Boat Cruise was a great wonderful experience and way to see some of the city of Paris. The views were spectacular and the guide provided much commentary about the buildings, bridges and statues!

The Louvre is elegant and vast, so it is best to go with a clear plan. We had one day to see the essentials, but we would recommend two days if you want to take your time a bit more. There is so much to see.

Great museum, there is a section for every era and art form, created with care and elegance. The only downside is that there wasn't good air conditioning.
