The Musee du Louvre Skip the Line Tour - Merve was a wonderful guide! She was passionate, knowledgeable, friendly and kind. She got us into the Louvre quickly and easily and showed us the ‘best bits’ of the Louvre.
This place is the most beautiful, intriguing and sumptuous place we’ve seen. The sheer scale of the museum, grounds and collection is hard to take in… but the Skip the Line Tour helps get you taking it all in a more manageable way!

Our tour director was extremely knowledgeable in art history and a wonderful resource. - The tour guide took both of us separately to see the Venus Di Milo at the end of the tour and took the time along the way to point out and discuss other works of art .

Great all-ages tour - This was a fantastic tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and his English was excellent. Our family of eight was fully engaged in the tour the entire time, even our two nine year olds and normally sulky teen. And *right* before the tour we asked if a wheelchair would be possible for my 75 year old dad (he’s sick and was having a rough time with his feet). My hopes weren’t high because it was so last minute, but our guide not only made it happen, but pushed his wheelchair the entire time. It was a great experience!

Intro to the Museum - This is an intro to the museum which is best thought of as a preparation for a subsequent visit. Don’t think that you’re going to see much of the collection. The tour stops at 10 or 12 or so pieces. The commentary from our guide on those pieces was great but there was so much else it would have been nice to see. The tour operator doesn’t give you an actual individual ticket to the museum so you can only explore the building/collection where the tour ends so there isn’t much opportunity for exploration on your own after the tour ends.

Tickets sent to tour guide not valid - Found the tour meeting place and had time to go shopping at the souvenir shop besides it. We were a small group of 4. Told the your guide that we have to leave as soon as the Louvre tour of 2 hours is done as we have an evening tour to Montmatre in the evening. Unfortunately, when we got to where the tickets were being scanned the tickets sent by the tour company to the guide for the other couple were invalid. After some discussions with two of the ticket attendants and the guide calling the tour company who did not answer, she decided to buy new tickets for the couple. We lost almost 30 minutes in the process because of this. Close to 4 pm which is when the tour would have ended, I had to remind her that we have to leave soon so we now have to rush to see the Mona Lisa before we leave. Good thing we found a taxi right away and the driver understood that we were in a rush to reach the place where our tour group to Montmatre was starting and we got there with only a few minutes to spare.

Buy your ticket online, you don’t need a tour guide - We paid $389 for two adults and two kids, it was not worth it. The guides gave us headphones that were nit working, so couldn’t hear much.
