Summary:
The tour exceeded our expectations. Our wonderful guide Adrien began by first taking us to the wing where the living quarters were located. Absolutely beautiful! We then visited the major highlights before finishing our tour with Mona Lisa. Adrien was a wealth of information not only about the Louvre but also the history of the city as it relates to the Louvre. We highly recommend Adrien!! He made our visit enjoyable in spite of the crowds.
