Main reason to visit was to see Mona Lisa. This tour booked did that perfectly. It was crowded, but try to take the tour as early as possible. Museum opens at 9am. I suggest you book the first slot to avoid crowd. while walking out i saw a line of 500 plus people waiting to buy ticket to get in.. Klook helped in skipping that. Guide will not be a certified person, but she helped in getting to Key attractions directly.

The priority access is very fast, and the Louvre's collection is vast; allow at least 2-3 hours.

Planning to visit the Louvre Museum, a must-see for anyone's first trip to Paris, I applied for a tour, thinking that I could gain a deeper understanding and have a more enjoyable museum exploration with the guide's explanation. Exploring the museum with Royal Ji-sung, I received detailed explanations of works that I would have otherwise missed, allowing me to appreciate their meaning two or three times over. I lost track of time and the tour was truly meaningful and satisfying. The Louvre can take 3-7 days to see properly, but with the author, I was able to explore the key elements and have a fulfilling 3-hour tour. Highly recommend it.

Highly recommend this for anyone coming to Paris. The location is easy to find, the experience is very satisfying, you can see many important buildings, and the Eiffel Tower is super beautiful.

When you're tickets is 12-12.30, it will say 12.30 on the ticket and you'll have to line up at the 12.30 line.

This was a truly perfect tour. Even without deep knowledge of art, sculpture, or history, the guide explained everything easily and enjoyably, and spoke in a very calm manner. It was a very informative experience and made me understand the value of taking a guided tour.

the louvre was excellent. but its so massive. if you a lot 1 day, you wont be able to see all of the art inside. we went to 2 wings and we called it quits because our feet were hurting already. the siene river boat ride was excellent as well. we went to the 8pm cruise at it was already dark and you can see the lights of the buildings. ride up top and in front of the boat so you can take pics of the buildings on the right and left side when the boat goes up the siene river.

I really enjoyed the guide's expert-level explanations!! Highly recommend for those interested in architecture and wanting to learn about Paris in detail~!! I strongly recommend taking this tour on your first day in Paris!! ㅠㅠ We had already seen most of the tourist attractions before taking the guide's tour, which was a shame! I feel like it would be new again if we listened first and then revisited those places! Thank you to the guide for providing such detailed and friendly explanations, even though it was a private tour for just the two of us!! I enjoyed hearing the fun explanations while walking through hidden streets all over Paris ㅎㅎ😎👍✨ #Great weather is a bonus!
