Customer Reviews
Great experience all around. Thank you!
We lucked out and had a private tour with Frederic since no one else had signed up for that time. He was an amazing tour guide and we learned so much . He was so informative and it was a pleasure having him as a tour guide.
Our guide Valerie was fantastic! She is very knowledgeable and provided so much context on the building, French history and the artwork. Our group of 5 was small enough to allow time for questions and to move more quickly. We saw all the well known pieces and more. Highly recommend this tour!
