With so many works of art and so many pieces, we really appreciated our tour with Thibaud. Firstly, he has an excellent command of art, history and aesthetic so he put together a running commentary of how art in the earliest ages served as the back job for later developments. Intertwined was not only an appreciation for the pieces, but context within the setting of culture at the time. Secondly, he has a wonderful personality and is very facial with English. Thirdly, just as a sides, we learned a lot about what it means to live in a French society today. The whole experience was wonderful and the time flew by really quickly. We were able to spend time after the tour to go back and dwell in other areas of the Louvre that the tour did not encompass.
All told, well worth it! We would also use Thibaud again for another tour without a doubt.
