Excellent tour! - This was an excellent experience. Perhaps lucky to have a very small group, our tour guide was personable, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. He was able to somewhat tailor the tour to the interests of our group and kept it interesting for tweens and adults alike. This was a great introduction to the Louvre and perfect for our limited available time - hitting lots of highlights in just 2 hours from start to finish.

Incredible Louvre experience!! - Melanie was incredibly knowledgeable and provided an incredible amount of history about the Louvre and history in general. We were a few minutes ate but I let them know 30 minutes before our tour time and she accommodated us and waited. I would highly recommend this tour. It would have taken my husband and I hours to cover the museum like she did. Don’t hesitate and book this one folks! She even took pictures of us. Her headphone set made hearing her commentary more meaningful.

Not to be missed - Wei was amazing! He had stories and insight into the art and the building itself. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would recommend it. The Louvre is so huge, I never would have known where to go to hit the highlights. The two hours flew by!

Great tour with Adam of Walks Tours! - Adam of Walks Tours was THE BEST! He was entertaining and informative. I would go on more tours with him. And the tour itself was great - he timed it perfectly so that we would be at the Mona Lisa at close so we could see it easily. And he built up the information throughout the Louvre so it made it even more memorable.

Too fast for even a photo - The louvre in the evening is certainly better than during the day. Our guide was okay… she knew a lot and was interesting, but the audio guides were not working well. She also moved so fast you could Hardly stop to take photos of anything and by the time the tour was done there was no time to see anything else. We left at museum closing, gift stores were closed and they were rushing people out. Also the only piece we really wanted to see was not o the tour and also was roped off on Fridays apparently. It was okay, but I’d suggest get a map and figure out what you want To really see and just book evening tickets.

Ruined day. No communication! - None. I got there 25 minutes early and my wife and I could never find the tour guide. We walked everywhere asked many people at the gate and other tour guides. Nobody could help us. We finally texted each other and all I was told is to meet at Venus the Milo. That is inside and our tickets would not let us in. I tried calling him and the tour company and no one answered. Terrible communication and totally ruined our day. We went on two dinner cruises that we had booked and they were great. So Viator does a great job with those.
