Our guide, Ms. Gong Ye-jin, not only explained the historical stories but also showed us photo materials. She must have been more tired than us, who just followed along and listened, but she even gave us candies when our energy levels dropped. We were so touched that she maintained her enthusiasm from beginning to end while explaining everything. She also provided free audio receivers.

This was my first visit to the Louvre with my family. I was particularly concerned about how we would navigate a museum many times the size of a football field, especially with my parents. My biggest worry was paying a lot of money, struggling with all the walking, and then missing out on seeing the famous artworks. So, when I heard there was a tour with a Korean guide, I signed up, and to cut to the chase, it was the best decision of our trip! Purchasing tickets in advance was very easy, and we were able to enter quickly through the tour-exclusive line without getting lost, with minimal waiting. I'm not sure where Chocolat Travel's customer service operates from, but they responded quickly even when I inquired in the evening during European time. Over approximately four hours, we were able to see and hear explanations about only the key artworks, organized by era, allowing us to enjoy the Louvre in a condensed way. Even just following the tour required a lot of stamina. I can't imagine how we would have explored such a massive museum without a guide. It was truly enjoyable to listen to the explanations, with visual aids shown periodically. The guide also pointed out perfect photo spots and explained the best positions and angles to view the artworks, making the tour incredibly fulfilling. Thanks to this, we successfully viewed the Mona Lisa from a close distance! Honestly, I was worried that the viewing time might be too short given the museum's scale, but the tour alone was sufficient. Navigating through the huge crowds really takes a lot of energy, haha. Unless you've visited the Louvre multiple times, if this is your first visit, I highly recommend enjoying a tour with a guide! Many thanks to certified guide Kim Shin-ah, who led our tour :)

The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious food, and we had both breakfast and lunch there. The entrance to the Egyptian exhibit was difficult to find, and there were so many stairs, which was really tiring. The Mona Lisa had a huge crowd, and some people took too long to take photos, preventing others from moving forward. There are many precious items and memorable spots worth seeing.

Thank you for the excellent guidance on how to efficiently explore the Louvre Museum. Your professional guidance and explanations were incredibly helpful. The Friday evening night tour was not too crowded, which was great. After listening to your explanations, I vividly remembered everything I heard at each place we visited, making me feel that taking the guided tour was an excellent decision. Thank you to our kind and friendly guide!

During this Louvre Museum tour, our guide, Yeo Yu-yeong, provided insightful explanations of the artworks from a unique perspective, backed by her professional knowledge, going beyond typical descriptions. Thanks to her, I gained a deep understanding not only of the art but also of French history. It was a truly valuable and impressive experience, and I highly recommend this tour.

What to know about Île de la Cité

Île de la Cité is the historic heart of Paris and one of the most iconic Paris attractions. This small island on the Seine River is home to famous landmarks like Notre Dame Cathedral, Sainte-Chapelle, and the Palais de la Cité, a former royal palace that now houses the Palais de Justice. Walk along the charming boulevard du Palais, cross picturesque bridges like Pont Neuf, Pont Saint Michel, and Pont Notre Dame, or relax at the Square du Vert Galant on the island’s western tip for stunning river views. Don’t miss the Marché aux Fleurs, a vibrant flower market that turns into a flower and bird market on Sundays. You can also admire the magnificent stained glass windows at Sainte-Chapelle, see the rose window of Notre Dame, and learn about French history, from French kings like King Louis IX to the French Revolution and even World War II memorials. The best part? Its central location makes Île de la Cité perfect for exploring Paris—everything from the Latin Quarter to Place Dauphine and the charming Quai des Orfèvres is just steps away.
