I really enjoyed the Louvre. It was full of people AND exhibits! I couldn’t figure out how to get out though! I was on a layover and was very tired though! I didn’t realize SORTIE meant exit so Follow those Sortie signs with the pyramid and you won’t have to make 3 trips around the inside looking for it!

Fantastic value for money and the museum was so beautiful and clean and very well organised, lunch was very nice too and we had a very enjoyable visit, would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit

It was amazing, prioritized access so no waiting in line. 50 museums in Paris for that price is great. Would recommend if you’re a fan of museums and photography

Christophe was amazing. He engaged us in the rich history of the paintings. Both my kids loved it! We’re so glad to have taken this tour.

Paula was so friendly and made the tour fun and interesting. She was very helpful, giving lots of information and recommendations
