Magical

The Louvre is magical at night. We forgot to save time during the day to visit the Louvre and booked this tour last minute. Worked out perfectly and would choose this tour again!

Louvre Tour

Did the Louvre Tour with Abbey on 19 April. My husband, son and myself were the only ones on the tour as the other two attendees did not show up. Abbey was a great historian and provided us with interesting facts about various pieces in the Louvre. She managed to get us prime position in front of some of the most popular pieces and gave us great advice in dealing with the Mona Lisa "mosh pit". We could not have done the Louvre without a guide and really appreciate the time and effort Abbey took in taking us through. Thank you Abbey and The Paris Guy.

So Unique

What a unique and interesting way to see the Louvre. I was only in Paris for a few days, so trying to cram everything in to that short time span was extremely difficult. The Paris Guy made this tour super easy and convenient for me!
