Wir hatten eine sehr gute Tour mit unserem Guide Frederic. Er hat uns in den 2 Stunden der Tour in die Geschichte des Louvre eingeführt und die Blockbuster des Museums vorgestellt. Seine Erklärungen waren detailliert und wissensreich. Leider reichen 2h nicht aus, um den kompletten Louvre zu sehen. Aber für mich war es ein toller Einstieg für einen weiteren Besuch. Empfehlenswert.
The Louvre is really worth seeing, huge and worth the price of admission. In my case, the reservation was absolutely unnecessary; there was practically no queue for reservations at free entry (even if it was only short). Everyone has to decide for themselves whether they want to commit themselves to this.
Fabio a réussi à nous faire une belle visite en 2h30 avec une introduction historique du bâtiment puis il nous a guidé pour voir les œuvres connues et moins connues. A chaque arrêt des explications, des anecdotes très intéressantes. L’accès prioritaire est très appréciable.
