Monica was an incredibly knowledgeable and engaging guide. We skipped the lines and she got so much out of our two hours. Saw everything we’d hoped to see. Viator was amazing with their communication. We booked Musee d’Orsay and Normandy with them as well. A wonderful company!

The Louve itself can be a bit overwhelming with how much there is to see. Our tour guide was terrific! She gave us a tour of the building grounds and it’s history, which my and wife I found really interesting. She also gave some great tips and advice on how to best navigate the museum.

Great way to skip-the-line to enter the Louvre.
Giselle_S

Maria was a very engaging guide. The outdoor tour itself was okay - Maria pointed out some very interesting sites, gave us some historical background, and was very organized. The best part of the tour is the skip-the-line tickets to enter the Louvre and the secret entrance to the museum that helps you bypass the long lines to enter at the main entrance. That alone was worth the price of the tour!

The experience was great! We met outside the Louvre and walked all the way around the outside with the tour guide to notable spots for about 30 minutes. Our guide, Hexyl, was knowledgeable and funny. After the tour of the outside, we were directed back to the Louvre and were taken in a separate entrance that was very quick. No waiting at all. We explored the Louvre on our own. Overall, great experience!

The tour itself was not quite what we expected. We walked around the outside of the Louvre and then we’re left to go inside. One thing I will point out is that not all travellers have wifi and they do not bring tickets so if you can’t access wifi you can’t get your tickets, the tour guide does not have them.

Great value to see the louvre
Stacey_S

We got into the louvre quickly and heard a good intro from our guide, Remy, before getting to depart at our own pace. He let us know where to go for some of the highlights, have an excellent quick history, and explained how our tickets work with the layout of museum. This saved us the hassle of figuring it out on our own! Great experience overall!

Missed this excursion because of airport delays!
Joyce_V

We missed the entire visit because of our delays from the airport. We were told we could visit and had tickets resent but we had another excursion booked. This turned out to be cancelled without notifying us. Altogether a horrible experience for our first day in Paris.

Hi Joyce We are always happy to reschedule or refund if we have at least 24 hours notice. We sent your tickets ahead of time so you could have them for the originally scheduled day. We received a message from you that you could not attend. Your message that you were unable to attend arrived the next day. I'm not sure what we could have done to help with this after having incurred the expenses necessary to provide the experience. Expenses which are not refundable for us, and not transferable less than 24 hours. I do regret that you were delayed and unable to attend and I hope the rest of your stay in Paris was good. Best, Linda

Museum Amazing! But thought the overview would be longer,
Robyn_H
, Sep 2021
The Louvre itself was amazing! It would take much longer than a day to see everything. But the upgrade to the tour guide for an introduction was not really necessary. We never received a message that said to meet outside, so we asked several people who worked there where to go once we were dropped off by the pyramid, and they told us how to get through the line and where to enter with the tickets we had etc. we waited and finally received a call that our guide was outside but would meet us indoors, so we waited at least 10 more minutes and she came in with our printed tickets, which we already had on our phones, and spent 5 minutes thing us which wings we could go to. She asked if we had questions but we really didn’t, and that was it. Not sure exactly what we expected, but we thought there would be 30 minutes of guidance, and there was only about 5. The guide was nice, and she spoke English perfectly, I would not be surprised if she was American living in France. We thoroughly enjoyed the museum, wish we had more time.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. First I am confused about why you did not receive the information about where to meet as it is clear at every step of the booking process that the meeting point is outside by the statue of Louis XIV in front of the Louvre pyramid. I checked with the team about your experience and they clarified some points for me as well. Our guide was outside at the meeting point from 11:15am until 11:30am. You were contacted by phone at 11:27am and told our guide that you had gone inside and agreed that it would be easier to wait there rather than come out and go in again. Our guide did find you but by this time you had missed a lot of what the experience offers in terms of information and service. I believe if you had met her on time at the correct spot you would found more value in what we provide. All that said, I am glad you enjoyed the museum and feel bad that you missed out on the full experience. I appreciate your time to review us and I wish you safe travels always, Linda

It was all very satisfying! Would do it again
Jennifer_H

We met our guide right on time at the proposed meeting point with the tickets that were sent to us prior via mail. She seemed nice and friendly. We were told at the side entrance by security that we could not go through with the baby stroller (newborn). Our guide seemed surprised but we were led to the main entrance past the waiting lines by the security. Inside we re-met our group and guide and were given instructions on where to find what and where to go. After that we could discover the Louvre at our own pace. Some people seemed surprised that they were not taken through the museum but as we were aware it was not a private tour, we were happy with what we got. Basicslly No waiting time. Super

Not worth the money
Deborah_L
, Aug 2021
We met a representative that kept us sitting in the hot sun until the guide showed up. Next the guide went on on about useless information and small pictures of her point. We then had to wait in que with all the other people entering the museum which took about an hour. I’m not sure where the “skip the line” part was supposed to be. The guide walked us into the main area, said a few more unless things and left us there with no map or instructions on how to get a map. It’s extremely difficult to find things without a map. Definitely not worth the money. We should have just bought a ticket for half the price.

I want to thank you for taking the time to leave feedback about your experience with us. I am not happy to hear it was not favorable and I take all your points very seriously as I endeavor to make improvements always. I want to clarify that there is sometimes a line to enter even with a timed entry ticket and this situation has worsened since COVID restrictions but that this times entry is always faster and easier than other alternatives. As for the critique of our guide, I urge you to reach out and provide the date of your visit so I can work with this guide to improve the experience in the future. Linda@exp1.com Thanks again and may you stay safe and well in your travels. Linda

Skip the line took longer than getting the tickets ours.
Dayna_S
, Jul 2021
Very disorganized when checking in at the yellow sign or some days it might be orange. No real tickets, you need to take a picture of your ticket on your phone and then pray it works. Be sure and get your map when you go down the escalators, because they took us right over to the check ticket area to make sure they worked and never had maps for us. Had to go back later to get a map.

Hi Dayna, This is extremely valuable feedback and I thank you so much for taking the time to share it. It is true that sometimes our sign might be orange or yellow and with the name of our company printed on it. We sent the tickets in advance of the tour so you can upload them on your device and then also give the tickets to the host so she can allow you to take the picture if you don't have it on your device ahead of time. We have replaced our paper tickets with the digital ones in response to recent Covid measures and feedback from previous guests who were not happy to have to receive paper tickets. Our host was concerned that you didn't have the tickets on your device and so she wanted to go with you right away to make sure you were able to scan the image. Your point about the maps is extremely helpful and I will certainly point this out to her so we can all improve the experience for the future. Thanks again for the helpful feedback and safe travels. Linda
