5.00Our guide, Sid, was well versed in French history and knowledgeable about the paintings and sculptures. On top of that he was very funny and can sing well. We got to see the most well known pieces of art without having to stand in line.

2.00Too many people on the tour. Took forever to check in, for him to purchase group tickets, get a pass, and store things in a locker for the group. Broken English and I felt that we were chasing the guide through the throngs of people. Museum is hot for August and very crowded. Our guide disappeared at the Mona Lisa and that is where I ended the tour due to frustration and a missing tour guide.
Fantastic access and tour of the Louvre
