“Literally the first and only ones at the Mona Lisa - The LivTours was the way to go. Everyone has the same major art pieces that we all want to see and Anna, our guide, ensured that’s exactly what happened. She was full of knowledge and tidbits that helped give us a better knowledge of French history. Highly recommend!” - Reviewed on 2025-02-28
