Adi is the best guide ever :) - 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.

Tour of the Louvre - 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.

Was suppose to be semi private group but had 25 people in it which was way too big - Saw main highlights of museum but hard to enjoy due to group size hard to see and stay with group museum was very crowded.
