“I’m giving all fives because the tour guide was super amazing and accommodating and I don’t want her to be penalized for the accessibility issues we had! The site says that the museum is handicap accessible and it is but not for all exhibits. This caused us to miss much of the museum and guided tour. But this was in no way the tour guides fault and she was exceptional and very patient!”

“The Louvre was on strike the day we booked. Not the tour company’s fault at all but I am kinda upset that no one reached out to us to tell us in advance! We literally ran across town to get to this tour only to be told it was cancelled.
