Recommended Paris guided tours

“In our first two visits to Le Louvre museum on our own, we got completely lost. Le Louvre is HUGE and it’s so easy to get disoriented with 3 enormous buildings on 4 different levels that all interconnect.

That’s why I strongly recommend a private guide that can get you in & out and make sure you get to see the essentials. ”
