Wonderful tour of the Louvre!
We recently had a short stay in Paris. I wanted to go to the Louvre and found The Tourguy on line with an option to book a tour of the Louvre in the evening. I booked it not knowing exactly what to expect. I immediately received very detailed information on where to meet, the time and what to expect. My husband and I found the meeting spot with no problems and our tour guide showed up exactly on time. She was absolutely amazing....I don’t think I’ve ever enjoyed a tour as much. She knew the Louvre’s layout and was able to get us to see the Mona Lisa with no wait!! She was so informative and my husband and I were absolutely amazed at what we learned in the short time we were with her. It was way beyond our expectations.

Louvre Evening Tour
Our guide was awesome and really knew all about the art and answered every question we had. Definitely less crowded than it would have been during the day which was a bonus and overall we had a great time.
