Excellent - Our guide was awesome!!, we skipped the lines - which were 2-3 hrs long and literally walked in!. As she discussed each work of art - it made you realize all of the details involved in each piece!, we would have never got that - on our own.
FYI- there’s so much to see- you can’t possibly go through this museum in a few hrs.

Great - Oliver was very accommodating and very knowledgeable. He dropped us off at a cafe so that we could have some breakfast beforehand.

Busy and Fun day in Paris - We had a wonderful time on this tour! My husband and four children ages 5-14 all enjoyed it. If you have small children I would definitely advise that this is a long and busy day for them. My children really enjoyed Versailles both the palace and the garden! Of course you cannot see all of the Louvre in one day, it's impossible so we know when booking this that we would only be able to see highlights. While it was a short amount of time we did see a lot and it was long enough that the kids were definitely ready to move on after. I really enjoyed our tour guide who was extremely knowledgeable and that this was a small group.

Versailles & The Louvre - Awesome Tour - Learning the history of the Palace and the paintings. Both our tour guides were knowledgeable. Great way to see a couple places and get the highlights.

Versailles was opulent, outlandish , no wonder the peasants were upset that they we poor and the royalty had so much. - Weenjoyed all the inteesting facts and history the guide shared.
It appeared our guide knew far more information than the rest of the local guides and we highly recommend him to all future visitrs

Good tour - Very organized and very well done. It’s a long day so maybe split it up into two days if you want to see more artwork at the Louvre. For me, it was perfect for the amount of time I had.

Not worth it - too fast and too long to wait between tours (which they don't tell you) - Versailles trip was just so so. We had a new guide and while very nice, totally unexperienced in leading a group. Furthermore, no where on the itinerary for this double excursion does it say you will actually tour Versailles then come back to the tour office for an over 2 hour wait THEN meet up with another guide for the Louvre tour at a different location altogether. We had another tour booked for 5p so we had to rush through the Louvre. We ended up with less than 2 hours at the Louvre - not nearly enough time. The only thing that saved this tour was Divana (?) our tour guide who was brilliant! Full of information! and the best tour guide we had of anywhere we toured!

Very poor service provider - Muy decepcionante. El tour no agrega valor más que saltarse la fila. La visita guiada no dio mucha información extra, el vocabulario usado bastante básico, me dio la sensación de estar en una excursión de la primaria. Nos hicieron pasar rápidamente por las salas, en algunas con la excusa de que no nos permitirían quedarnos mirando cuando eso no fue verdad, al finalizar el tour nos informaron que no podíamos volver a revisita la salas anteriores. Intentaría contratar otro tour operador en lugar de París Trip.
Pésimo servicio post venta culpando al cliente falsamente a través de GetYourGuide en lugar de reconocer su servicio mediocre.
Very disappointing. The tour adds no value other than skipping the line. The guided tour didn't provide much additional information, and the vocabulary used was quite basic. It felt like I was on a primary school guide trip. They quickly ushered us through the rooms, some with the excuse that they wouldn't let us stay and look around, which wasn't true. At the end of the tour, they informed us that we couldn't return to previous rooms. I would try hiring another tour operator instead of Paris Trip.
Terrible after-sales service, falsely blaming the customer through GetYourGuide instead of acknowledging their mediocre service.

Boring - Nice tour guide. Horrible tour. No information repeated the same thing four or five times. Missed almost all the history.
