Visiting the Louvre made easy

Robert_A, Apr 2024

This was a very nice intro tour for the Louvre Museum. As you know the museum is a very big and intimidating place, but our guide made sure that we hit the main highlights, providing many historical facts on each piece. We all met at the meeting point and got into the museum unless than 10 minutes, contrary to what you may have read about the long lines.

Our guide Kasia was...

Elissa_S, Apr 2024

Our guide Kasia was amazing, very knowledgeable and showed us the top pieces of art in the louvre in two hours which was perfect for us with our three kids. Highly recommend a tour if you are going to the louvre

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour with Kasia. We strive to create unforgettable moments, and your feedback lets us know we're on the right track. See you on your next journey!

Louvre

Erica_H, Apr 2024

Austin our tour guide made the tour pretty fun! Knowledgeable about the Louvre. He was easy to locate with the yellow flag. I would recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We're thrilled to hear about your fantastic time with Austin! We can't wait to host you again and create more lasting memories together.

Nice experience

Mohamed_E, Apr 2024

Tour guide was very good & friendly, the queue we joined was much smaller than the other one outside.

Spectacular Expedited 1st Louvre Visit

Jniemeyer316, Mar 2024

A wonderful experience with our guide Imad and our group of 10! He was efficient, kind, patient and welcoming of questions, informative and made certain the group always stayed together (a challenge with 5 children and one of which was our 1 year old in a stroller). Made sure we saw the highlights in the museum, gave us context through the tour, and kept us on schedule. Loved for us as we didn’t have the ability with a toddler to dawdle and spend countless hours at the Louvre, and this made sure we saw and got to appreciate some very special pieces.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

We're glad to hear that you had a wonderful experience with Imad and your group! He's an efficient and attentive guide, especially considering the challenge of managing a group with children. It's great that you were able to see the highlights of the Louvre and appreciate its treasures. We look forward to hosting you again soon!

Louve

Antoinette_E, Feb 2024

Sagar was an amazing guide! Lots of facts and details of the history of the louve and surrounding areas. Made it a great expierence.

Wonderful way to start our time in Paris!

Laura_D, Jan 2024

Paula was wonderful! She was knowledgeable and her storytelling was very engaging. She truly centered us on our first day in Paris with wonderful recommendations. Highly recommend - ask for Paula!

Great experience.

Samuel_D, Jan 2024

A great little tour of the grounds surrounding the louvre with some excellent tips on what to see inside!

Great tour

nickotter, Jan 2024

Gained a lot of interesting facts about the center of Paris, very good guide Paula, the only issue they opened the museum late but not the tours fault. Very interesting

Satisfying tour with Seb

thia_a, Jan 2024

We have an excellent time, our tour guide sebastian are full of knowledge and explain every part precisely so we be like oooohh and aaahhhh. By the way our tour should be tour of 7 people, but turns out the other 4 didnt show up, so it became a private tour 😄😄 thank you so much experience first and sebastian, we will definitely comeback for more

Great Guide

Fawn_S, Jan 2024

The tour takes you around the area to give you a history lesson which is a great idea! Then you fast pass to get into the museum to explore at your leisure. Good experience overall!

Weird and slightly inaccurate tour

Demelza_T, Jan 2024

Wasn’t too impressed with the tour. Learnt a few interesting things I hadn’t heard of. However the tour guide seemed like he’d rather be doing literally any other tour. Frequently described the history of the Louvre as boring and art as something he “didn’t get”. Long awkward pauses as he tried to have us guess answers to his questions. Very weird and slightly inaccurate tour. Would not recommend. At least we skipped the line.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Dear Demelza, Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on your recent tour experience with us. We are deeply disappointed to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations and sincerely apologize for any dissatisfaction caused. It is concerning to learn that the tour guide did not convey the enthusiasm and passion we aim to instill in our tours. We understand that the guide's attitude can significantly impact the overall experience, and we will address this matter with the utmost urgency. Providing engaging and accurate information is paramount to us, and we apologize for any inaccuracies or discomfort caused by the guide's presentation. We appreciate your acknowledgment of learning some interesting facts during the tour. However, we understand that this does not compensate for the overall disappointment you experienced. Please know that your feedback is invaluable to us, and we will take immediate steps to review our guide training procedures and ensure that all guides are equipped to deliver informative and engaging tours that meet our guests' expectations. We are glad to hear that the skip-the-line feature was beneficial to you, but we deeply regret that it did not contribute to a more enjoyable overall experience. Your recommendation is important to us, and we will work tirelessly to improve our services based on your valuable feedback. Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience caused, and we hope that you will consider giving us another chance to provide you with a more enriching and fulfilling experience in the future. Sincerely, ExperienceFirst Team

Great experience all around

John_K, Jan 2024

Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed the whole experience. The museum is so vast you can't see even close to everything. Our guide was able to show us the most interesting and famous parts. She also gave us hints on how to get up front to see the Mona Lisa.

Louvre tour

ROBERTO_C, Jan 2024

Excellent guide tour, Denise was very professional and we had a great time with the family, we recommend it 100%…

Good for last minute

Jose_Z, Dec 2023

Ely, was great for the pre entry tour. Very informative. Only issue is there was the skip the line was not quick…

Not impressed with Viator

Christy_E, Dec 2023

This tour REQUIRES you to walk outside for 45 min. Even if it is cold and you’d rather wait inside or enter the Lourve early. Not fun or fair.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Thanks for the feedback. The main reason to book with us is the added value of a guide. It appears you booked for a different reason or the guide did not exceed your expectations. We are clear in our description that the tour includes a guided tour of the Louvre's surroundings before entering themuseum. I hope the rest of your stay in Paris was to your liking and may you have safe travels always! Anissat

Great experience

Shaquan_C, Dec 2023

I actually booked this tour with a group of my girlfriends who visited London in Paris in November 2019. Would definitely recommend! This museum was amazing.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

It's great to hear that your Louvre experience was fun and interesting. Thank you for the 5-star review!

5 star tour

Gale_H, Oct 2023

Our tour guide Denise was fantastic great information. The tour was on time and had fun visiting with the group of fellow tourists.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Denise is really knowledgeable and always gives a great tour. You took one of our really unique tours, full of mystery & interesting history...so glad you enjoyed it!

NO TOUR

Susan_M, Oct 2023

There was a marathon which closed all available streets near where I stayed. I was not able to get an Uber or walk in time to meet up with the tour guide. You could, literally, not cross the streets because the marathon line of runners never ended. No one gave us a heads up about this or we would have made different arrangements. I messaged Viator who sent me my entrance ticket but did not ask the guide to wait. I would appreciate a refund on the portion of what I paid that had to do with the tour itself.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Thank you for leaving this review of your experience. I have investigated what happened and I see that on this day we had over 90 people who checked in on time and took the tour with no problem. I am not sure where the confusion is about the check-in. It would help for me to know what time you arrived. I encourage you to reach out to us directly to give me more information so I can understand. It is possible we can offer a partial refund and I am definitely willing to offer you, as a courtesy, a full voucher to reschedule. In any case, I thank you for the feedback as it is important for us to improve what we do. Nihad.
