The tour starts beginning with two participants.
We had a great time with Christian who managed to show us the Louvre and its highlights in a very limited time. He gave us a perfect overview of the museum and showed us all the highlights. He had very interesting stories to tell and we enjoyed the time with him. He was very flexible and responded to our requests. Thank you Christian for some wonderfull insights!
Thank you for your great review. It was a pleasure for me to show you the Louvre and some of its treasures. Hope to see you back in Paris soon! Christian
