Coisas para fazer em Pont des Arts

Interpreter Gong Ye-jin was truly impressive. She not only explained historical stories but also brought along photo materials to show us. She must have been more tired than us, who just followed and listened, but she even gave us candies in between, saying our energy might be low. She maintained her enthusiasm from beginning to end while explaining everything. We were also provided with free audio guides.

This was my first visit to the Louvre with my family. I was particularly worried about how to navigate a museum tens of times the size of a football field, especially with my parents. My biggest concern was paying a lot of money, struggling with walking, and not being able to see the famous artworks. So, I applied for a tour with a Korean guide, and to cut a long story short, it was the best choice of the trip! Purchasing tickets in advance was very easy, and we were able to enter quickly through the tour-only line without getting lost or waiting too long. I don't know where Chocolat Travel's customer service operates from, but they responded quickly even when I inquired in the evening during European time. For about 4 hours, we were able to enjoy the Louvre in a condensed way, seeing and hearing explanations about only the key artworks by era. Following the tour also required a lot of stamina. I can't imagine how we would have explored this huge museum without a guide. It was really interesting to listen to the explanations while they showed us visual aids in between. They also pointed out great photo spots and even explained the best positions and angles to view the artworks, making the tour truly enriching. Thanks to this, we even managed to see the Mona Lisa up close! Honestly, I was worried that the viewing time might be too short compared to the museum's size, but just doing the tour is enough. Navigating through the huge crowds really takes a lot of energy, haha. Unless you've visited the Louvre multiple times, if it's your first visit, I highly recommend enjoying the tour with a guide! Many thanks to certified guide Kim Shin-ah, who led our tour :)

The saying "you see as much as you know" is perfectly fitting. Thank you so much, Guide Choi Jun-ho. Due to other teams changing their plans, we had a great opportunity to have a private tour. Personally, I was worried because I lacked a lot of knowledge, but he explained everything in an easy-to-understand way, and I could feel his passion for the Louvre, which made me realize that hiring a guide was an excellent decision! I personally felt a bit disappointed with the guide during my Rome Vatican tour, so I didn't have high expectations, but his explanations were so good that I was completely immersed. I felt even more strongly that a guide was essential because inside museums and art galleries, phone reception is often poor, making it difficult to get AI help, and the sheer number of artworks is overwhelming!!

The restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious food, and we had both breakfast and lunch there. The entrance to the Egyptian exhibition area was difficult to find, and there were so many stairs, which was really tiring. The Mona Lisa queue was packed with people, and some took too long to take photos, preventing those behind them from moving forward. There are many precious exhibits worth remembering.

Art & Trip guided tours are always impressive, no matter when or where. I booked all my Paris and London tours with Art & Trip this time, and every single one was excellent. Guide Choi Jun-ho's Orsay Museum tour, starting with the historical background of France, was a time when even the children could learn a lot. I highly recommend it! ^^

Thank you for guiding us so efficiently through the Louvre Museum. Your professional guidance and explanations were very helpful. The Friday evening night tour was not too crowded, which was great. After listening to your explanations, I could vividly recall 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! ^^

Every museum is wonderful, but this one is simply breathtaking. I lost track of time, completely engrossed in the masterpieces. I didn't use an audio guide; instead, I took photos with my smartphone and had an AI guide me, which was perfect. The artworks are analog, but the guide is AI. The explanation said to enter from C, but on-site, I was told to enter from 2. The entrance for those without tickets was 1, by the Seine River. Entrance 2 was on the plaza side.

The guide, Mauve, was excellent. Lots of enthusiasm and explained everything in detail. It was also very easy to find the guide at the meeting point with clear instructions. The guide covered the major highlights of the Louvre, and you could walk around on your own after the tour. The tour took about an hour. Highly recommend!
