Since we couldn't go inside, I decided to walk across the nearby bridge to at least get a view from a distance. When it's closed, there really isn't a way to get much closer, so you're limited to exterior views only. From the photos and reviews others have posted, it looks like a really cool and educational spot, especially if you're interested in industrial history. It seems like the tours give you a great glimpse into what factory life looked like back when it was one of the biggest steel suppliers in the U.S. Knowing it operated for around 90 years before shutting down in 1971 makes it even more fascinating. Even though I didn't get the full experience, the scale of the structures and the history behind the site were still impressive from afar. I'd definitely plan to return on a day they're open to properly explore it -- it looks like a unique and worthwhile stop if you're in town.

He called it the 3 divas of the Louvre. Venus de Milo, Winged Victory, and the Mona Lisa. He explained many bits of information on each of these most impressive sites. Things that you cannot know from just any tour book or even some guides. Undoubtedly this was the best tour I've ever had, and this location called for it. We were told that if you spent 1 minute at every exhibit in this museum, it would take you over a month to see everything. What a great place this is. A place where history has stopped and tells you a story. The art is unbelievable. The status are amazing. The atmosphere is awe-inspiring. I absolutley loved the experience of being at the Louvre. Even with a map, you will be surprised at what you find around the next corner. You could spend a whole day here and go around the world and so far back in time that it doesn't seem real. I recommend getting a tour from a reputable company. It will make a huge difference in your experience.

Louvre Museum Guided Tour - Reserved Entry - Semi-Private 8 People Max…read more Our guide, Jean, was quite excellent, mixing interesting facts and intelligent humor during our tour. My spouse and I were part of a group of four, creating an intimate experience at the world's largest museum. In addition to being ushered to the world-famous Venus de Milo, Mona Lisa, and The Winged Victory of Samothrace, Jean effortlessly directed our attention to capture prime interactions with each piece. Details which can only be experienced in-person, were organically choreographed and designed by Jean. There were several moments in which we felt as if we were alone with the art, embraced in a rich experience with the artists and their work. From descriptions of renaissance painters creating pigments by grinding semi-precious stones, to the history of the Louvre, Jean truly provided a one-of-kind experience! We offer a 4-star review and feedback absolutely unrelated to Jean, and directly connected to Babylon Tours, specifically the starting point of the tour. Although it is clever of Babylon Tours to ask customers to meet at the Louis XIV statue in front of the Louvre's Pyramid, most other tour companies do the same. Our guide's name was provided in advance, so we arrived 15-minutes early to divide ourselves for locating him. Most all of the guides were wearing lanyards with name badges, but these were not always large enough to be legible without directly approaching the guides. My advice: create weatherproof signage for your guides to be easily recognized by your tour customers. Thankfully, once we located him, Jean quickly turned the brief chaos into an overall wonderful experience!
