Monna Lisa at closing time is amazing - Violette was extraordinary—an endless source of stories and an impressively well-educated art historian. I’ve done the standard Louvre highlights tour before, yet she made it feel entirely new, as though I were seeing and understanding the art for the first time. What made her tour especially memorable was the way she wove in pieces I had overlooked before and tied everything together in a beautifully clear timeline, linking the evolution of the Louvre’s architecture with the chronology of the artworks. She transformed a familiar tour into something fresh, immersive, and unforgettable. Of course, seeing the Monna Lisa at closing time is a must.

Amazing guide, museum not worth it - Our guide Stephanie was amazing. I've never had a better guide in my life. She made those hours fly by. She was funny, witty, knowledgeable and all in all just a really cool person. She gets 10 out of 5 stars. But the Louvre in and of it self is just simoly not worth it in my oppinion. Unless you get there at 6 am, you are cramped with literally 30.000 people all fighting to see one small painting that in the end wasn't anything special. Make sure you eat and drink good before you get in because there is almost no air and no place to sit once you're inside. In the same time frame and for far less money, you can visit Versailles which is really worth it.
