Adventure Tips
Book Semi-Private Tours to Avoid Crowds
Choosing semi-private or private tours grants quicker museum entry and a more intimate experience, avoiding large-group pitfalls.
Wear Comfortable Walking Shoes
Expect a few hours of standing and walking indoors and outdoors, so sturdy shoes will keep you comfortable throughout the tour.
Arrive Early to Meeting Points
Timeliness helps secure your group’s spot and ensures smooth entry, especially around busy landmarks like the Louvre.
Consider Audio Assistance for Hearing Clarity
If you’re in a larger semi-private group, ask about audio devices to better hear your guide over ambient noise.
