Hey, complete waste of money. And I was double charged through the app due to the app malfunctioning. I tried to chat with someone for resolution I got disconnected. Perhaps that’s because when we downloaded the self-guided tour app and arrived at the museum, we learned that the geo-specific locations were few and the information shallow. This tour only covers about six locations at the louvre, which are upon entering the louvre reception area or outside of the Louvre in the gardens. Each location shares about 2-3 sentences of information. TOTAL SCAM! Buyer beware.

I speak a bit of English, but it’s not my first language. And I really liked this tour because it was easy to follow and very fun! I learned a lot of new things
