Hamish was incredibly educated on all of the pieces we viewed at the Louvre. We learned much of the history behind the building as well as the works of art. He was kind, funny and animated. We spent 3 hours in the museum and saw so many beautiful paintings, sculptures and more!

It seems unfair to give the company a poor rating when we in fact didn’t even utilize the service. The problem was that we arrived, but took one metro stop too soon and had to walk further than we thought. We arrived at the meeting place one minute after the prescribed time. We got a call from the company three minutes after we are supposed to be at the prescribe time telling us that the Tour Guide was looking for us. I told the person on the phone that we were in fact at the meeting place looking for the Tour Guide. he said that the Tour Guide had already gotten in line and was gaining access to the Louv. I have been to the Louvre so many times I know that was a lie. Even if you have, let’s say a 1030 arrival time you will still spend at least 20 minutes in line waiting to get in. We searched the area for the Guide in line and were told that he would have a city of wonders flag. No one in line had any flag and no one had any identifiable markings to let us know who they were. It was very frustrating. The cost was not that great but we lost out on getting into the Louvre that day , so $135 down the drain. Anyway, I’m sure the Guide was great but we really felt betrayed because they didn’t say come five minutes before the departure time they said come at the departure time and we were literally 60 seconds late. I have the call log to document when the company called so I’m not just blowing smoke. I feel if they have a client that’s not there and they called them. They could wait two or three minutes, especially when the client says that they’re at the meeting place. The meeting place was at the carousel, which is literally 200 yards away from the entrance of the Louvre. It would’ve been easy for them to put up their flag and wave it around so that we could find them. it’s very disappointing and shows that they have very little concern for customer service.

Well worth it! Hamish was very knowledgeable and had a gracefulness that was very appealing. The museum is so large that we only saw a portion. But liked that we could stay after the tour was done.

Shari_D

Saw main highlights of museum but hard to enjoy due to group size hard to see and stay with group museum was very crowded.

Bret_S

They merged 12 of our group with 13 others for 25 total Not semi private like they promised , not the guides fault but hard to keep up with him with that many people.

Adi was a brilliant informative guide who was super kind and helpful. She struck perfect between fact and fun - managed to engage everyone, even our teen who's a tough crowd. Louvre super busy, we went for 10am on sat morning and by the time we left it even busier. Skip the line is deffo worth it. And small group is best for atmosphere and getting about.

We missed our semi-private tour and were re-scheduled on a group tour with Omar! We loved the art and stories he told about the painters and the history. Two kids 9 and 11 were with us and really enjoyed the 3 hour guided- they weren’t bored for a minute!

Emily_P

The most amazing experience. This was at the top of my mums bucket list and she loved every second. Our tour guide Severine was the best, she was so informative and knew so much, she made the experience so memorable and I can’t thank her enough for making this day my mums favourite day ever! Thank you Severine!!!

MaryLou_L

Our tour guide was absolutely amazing. She was well very informed and entertaining. Our only issue was not reading the specific information for the meeting spot. We were lost and late, but our tour guide came to get us. We appreciated that.

Blerta’s expertise and engaging demeanor made our museum tour truly memorable. Her deep knowledge of the art enriched our experience, and her artistic insights provided a unique perspective. She was interactive, answering questions with enthusiasm and guiding us through the exhibits with skill. I highly recommend Blerta as a tour guide for anyone looking to explore the museum with depth and passion
