Celia was a AMAZING tour guide who made every sculpture, painting, or other exhibit we saw in the Louvre fascinating and memorable to my kids (2nd and 5th grade). They paid rapt attention to her from beginning to end, for the entirety of the 2.5 hour tour, as she was able to speak to them about art and European history in a manner that was at once clear, fun and developmentally appropriate. To captivate a 2nd grader (who happened to be jet lagged and hungry) for that long is, as any parent knows, truly impressive.
She was also very receptive to our needs. When I told her my younger child was in need of some water she quickly adapted the schedule to include a detour to a patio cafe within the Louvre so we could recharge briefly before continuing.
Her knowledge of the Louvre is incredibly extensive. I had many questions about things that she had not planned on showing us and she was able to answer every one. Our entire family learned so much on the tour, and in such an enjoyable way, that we would not hesitate to do another tour with her to see more of the museum if we ever get a chance.
