We were able to see a ton, but most importantly, she kept all of our children engaged and helped them to understand the significance of the beautiful art we were viewing. The Lourve is impressive and overwhelming and I believe that having Megan guide us through the museum made it approachable for our family. 10/10 recommend!”

“Our guide was probably the most knowledgable person we have met in europe. She knew more history and more art history than I know, and that's saying a lot. She was obviously well-studied and was full of details and little art specifics other than the plain "look at the shadows, looks so cool" jargon that gets put out all the time. I'm not guaranteeing your guide will be our 5-language-speaking super guide, but I initially thought this wasn't worth the price, especially since I was paying for admission as well, but the facts are still clear in my mind 2 weeks later as well as historical knowledge from the 15th…”
