Excellent Louvre review - The guide Anais was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the museum and the art history topics. She guided us through the crowds and provided an overview of several different areas including the Egyptian area, the down below castle area, the three ladies statuary, Versaille room with the crown jewels and the Masterpiece gallery's. She made this tour fun and provided many antedotes regarding the various art pieces

Louvre Tour is a Must! - Guided tour is a must when visiting The Louvre! It’s way too big and overwhelming for a first timer to do on your own! Lee was wonderful at guiding us to sone of the main attractions and his insights made the tour even more enjoyable. Allow extra time to see the famous lady!

Mona Lisa et al - This was a great tour and worth it. Get the early tour - 9 am - to avoid the Mona Lisa crowds. A very knowledgable guide managed the group and the art. I would take this tour again.

So Many People! - Martha was a wonderful tour guide. She was very kind and knowledgeable. She was calm and comfortable maneuvering the crazy atmosphere of the Louvre. I loved being able to skip the lines when entering the museum. I deducted one star, because 3 hours is a really long time for that tour, and the Louvre was insanely packed with people on a random Monday in March. So many people. Not sure that I would do it again or even recommend it. There are so many beautiful places in Paris with fewer crowds.

Worst Experience Ever - I'm going to start off by saying that I have traveled over 2 million miles in my lifetime. I have been traveled to 5 continents and over 40 countries. I have traveled alone and in groups. I have traveled by plane, train, ship, bus, auto, tuk tuk, etc. I have visited many famous sites, met interesting people, learned different cultures, and tasted a variety of foods. I say all of this to give a bit of background on my experience in traveling. This was my second trip to Paris and I was really looking forward to our newest adventure. We scheduled a private tour of the Louvre on our first day in Paris. The instructions started by stating that we would not meet at the Louvre. Instead we were instructed to go to the Arc de Triomphe. Time was tight but we arrived at the meeting point with over 30 minutes to spare. I didn't see many tour guides so I contacted City Wonders. On the first call, I explained where I was and was told that I was early. The rep told me to wait there and call back in 10 minutes if the guide had not arrived. Ten minutes goes by and I make a second call. During that time, I'm put on hold while the rep tries to contact the guide. After being on hold for around 10 minutes, I was told the guide was running 4-5 minutes late but would be there soon. They would be wearing blue. In the meantime, they sent me a link to the meeting point but the link was invalid. We continued to wait. After another 10 minutes or so, I called again. I was put on hold for another 10 minutes while they tried to contact the guide. After all of this, they determined that we were at the wrong meeting point. But, it gets worse. Now, our entry time to the Louvre had expired and we would not be able to get in that day. I was also told that it would not be possible to reschedule another tour during our next 3 days in Paris. I was disappointed and the rep didn't really offer any alternatives. She just said if we had a complaint, to get on their web site to plead our case. The unfortunate part of all of this is that we had time to get to the right meeting point if the first rep had identified the issue on the first call. Later that day, we contacted City Wonders via their web site. They responded via email and told me that the instructions were clear and they always recommend that you check the map before leaving for the meeting point. They went on to say "Guests arriving after departure cannot be accommodated & missed tours or tickets cannot be refunded or rescheduled". Wow, I can honestly say that this was, by far, the worst customer service experience I have ever had. I later spoke to our travel agent and she said that she had been getting a lot of complaints about City Wonders tours recently and would start booking with other tours. Bottom line - I do not recommend City Wonders!
