More like the Mona Lisa tour

While I do not blame the guide or operator of this tour I feel remiss if I did not mention a few things every tour participant should be aware of. The louvre is currently undergoing maintenance which puts the Mona Lisa in the north wing, this small temporary relocation reeks havoc on the tour. Our 3 hour louvre tour turned into a 2.5 hour wait in lines to see the Mona Lisa for 30 seconds. Skip the line is a misnomer as there were hundreds of people at the louvre for the extended hours and our tour guide just recommended pushing through to stake our claim. After the Mona Lisa we literally ran through the rest of the north wing and saw very minimal art. In the end the guide did a poor job at setting Mona Lisa line wait time expectations and informing the group that this would be all we would see if we elected to see it.
