"Overall very good, thank you for sharing the arts story so beautifully. I had cried multiple times through this tour. Without your beautiful narrative I would have felt lost. It would be nice to have a timeline of what we had already listened to, as well what is to come. At one point we did get a little confused and lost. However we quickly bounced back with the help of a map. Thank you. " - Claire A.

"The best way to experience the Louvre under 2 hours. I exceptionally recommend going here around 6 pm on Fridays. Not many viewers so enough space to experience the majestic works of art. Great speaker. Great guide. Thank you'n"
