Review for: Join-in English Guided Tour

The meeting place was easy to locate. the tour started on time. Our tour guide, Elizabeth, was gave useful and interesting information about the most popular pieces of the Louvre. She was friendly to everyone. She also gave us ear pieces that’s connected to an amplifier so we could hear her well amidst noisy crowds.

My tour time schedule has been revised a couple of days before my visit. The tour operator messaged me, asking me if I still wanted to join with a different time, or I could cancel and refund. I did proceed, and oh boy it was an amazing tour. The Louvre opened about an hour late on the day of my tour. The guide was so amazing, he kept on checking all the entrance doors, so that we can enter the door with fewer people in it. We were able to enter the museum quite fast, as there were very few people where we entered. The guide was very passionat. He was able to communicate and describe heaps of information regarding the artifacts, paintings, sculptures. Definitely, 2-3 hours, even a day, would not be enough to go around the museum to see and absorb everything. We sort of scratched the surface, and I'm super happy with that. After the tour, everyone has the option either to stay inside the museum to explore more, or to exit. I got so tired that I decided to leave after the tour. Our guide sparked my interest, that I would definitely come back next time to explore some more. Highly recommended!

In such a huge and crowded museum, a guided tour is recommended to ensure a quality experience. Mine was great with François being our guide. Very detailed narration at key locations in the museum. It was very crowded at Mona Lisa station and Francois led us in seamlessly as he narrated along the way. Very good experience indeed!

Luckily, we had booked this tour because the place was extremely crowded and had long line of queue. We’ve visited all the highlights.

Review for: Join-in English Guided Tour

There is no obvious sign at the meeting point. Then cross the road at the Pyramid Square. There is a row of thin red flags. We were in a group of about twenty people that day, which was too much. After gathering, we walked backwards and entered the Louvre Museum. We went to the bathroom first. OK, OK. There are so many tourists. The leader of the toilet is very fast and there is no special point. The number of people has to find the channel every time. The physical strength is small and it is difficult to follow. It is so hard to go up and down. Except for the door, there is no unified way to go to the toilet or to go in time. Everyone should be mentally prepared for the bathroom. It is a process that means you will learn more. It is basically a process. I hope the meeting point is more clear and the number of people is small. There can be a short break or time to go to the toilet. Besides, the physical strength is not enough. It’s really not easy to go up and down, it’s very messy and the big exhibits are all in an old place. The restaurants are all facing the outside. Make sure you’re full. D. It took me half an hour to get a coffee at the only restaurant in front of me to check the quality of the food. The taste is good. The price shown in the picture is about 70 euros.

The tour guide took good care of each member of the group and kept an eye on whether the members were following along. She carefully explained the history of the Louvre and the characteristics of the exhibits. The Louvre is so big that you can only visit the highlights in two hours. If you want to continue visiting, remember to stay in the museum the whole time and be sure to walk around the exhibition hall!
