Fantastic! Our trip to the Lourve wouldn’t have been enjoyable with our tour guide Monty. He was polite, informative, funny and made sure no one got lost 😊
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.
Everything was perfect!🙌 We went through very quickly and without problems. The Louvre is huge, we would have gotten lost ourselves. Thanks very much to guide Victoria. Very interesting and educational excursion. The guide speaks different languages, including my native one, it was very convenient
