Fantastic Tour Worth Every Penny!
Danielle_L, Apr 2024
The skip-the-line feature saved us almost three hours of what would have been just waiting on a long line. The guide was LOVELY and so knowledgeable about art, history, and the building itself. She even gave us tips on the best (least crowded) bathrooms to use, where to go after our tour ended when we could go off on our own, etc. I cannot recommend this enough. The whole experience was magical and the museum itself is breathtaking. You see so much in such a relatively short period of time with this tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Hi Danielle, We're thrilled to hear that our skip-the-line feature saved you valuable time and that you had such a magical experience! It's fantastic to know that you found the tour informative and enjoyable, and we're delighted that you appreciated the insider tips. Thank you for recommending us 😊 We hope to welcome you back for more unforgettable experiences in the future. Best, Andrii Walks & Devour Tours

The worst possible scenario we have been waiting to see the Louvre and all we saw was dirt and a building
Catherine_H, Feb 2024
Like her pants running from tour group to tour group trying to find our tour group getting their 15 minutes before the appointed time and not being able to identify our group and no one to help. I did not get inside the loop because we were late finding our group and they would not come back to pick us up.

Team Adam Is The Tour You Want!
Grant_W, Jan 2024
Five Star Tour on Team Adam through the Louvre. We enjoyed our tour of the highlights of the Louvre. The tour started on time and was very well planned and organized. Adam did a great job of maximizing our opportunities to see the “highlights” as well as strategies for seeing the rest of the museum. Very good background info and commentary. We highly recommend this tour as well as recommending Adam as a guide…his knowledge and personality made the once in-a-lifetime tour complete.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear Grant, Thank you so much for taking the time to share this feedback with us! We are so proud of Adam. He is truly a gem to have on the team.
