“Megan was our guide today for our kids (14, 12 and 8). She was so knowledgeable and gave us the history of the Lourve and led us through the most important areas of the museum. 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!”

They kept telling me how much they were loving the tour, when we saw their mom and dad later in the day they kept telling them all about it. Ruth provided education at their level and threw in some funny facts to entertain them. She provided head sets so we were able to hear her clearly.
