The guide was pleasant, patient , funny and quite knowlegeable about history as well as current. Well travelled and quite welcoming to all. The trip was not exhaustive. It was worth the wait

Incredible start to the Louve / very helpful guiding us around to see very important things I would not have wanted to miss / highly recommend. The Louve is overwhelming enough and not knowing anything this tour really got me going to then explore after the tour. Very patient guide and they even called me and others to make sure we found the meeting place. 5 PLUS STARS James

Mari the guide was nagnificent. She is wity, smart and educational. Love her! And negative side is that nowhere in the hedaout was info about the color of the flag that we are looking for, just checking point- so it was harder to find it among all groups, just a reminder to put that info in the app.

Anthony was an absolutely wonderful guide for our visit to the Louvre this morning! His enthusiasm was contagious, and he remained kind and smiling throughout the entire tour. He made the experience truly memorable for us—we had such a fantastic time. Highly recommended!

Eleonora proved right from the start to be an attentive and professional guide; our tour was in English, and she was more than happy to provide us with additional explanations! We were very impressed by her kindness and expertise.
