With a maximum of six people per group, you are guaranteed a nearly private experience! This tour aims to answer the questions that a typical tour would not. Have you ever wondered why Greek and Roman sculptures are so poorly endowed or what really made the Mona Lisa so famous? Art has always pushed the boundaries of society and artists are often inspired by sex, scandals, and the tumultuous relationships that surround them. No topic is off-limits and questions you may have been perhaps too polite to ask will be answered. With such a vast collection of art work at the Louvre there is bound to be a scandal or two! Please note, this tour is for people eighteen or older. Please contact us if you would like us to make an exception.

We were with a student group with Adam at the Louvre and Notre Dame! It was great! The students were excited. When in Paris, only with Adam! We are Team ADAM!
Bonjour, We are delighted to read that you loved your guided tour with Adam. It is so nice of you to take the time to share with other travelers. Merci!!! Warmly, Fat Cat Tours
My best friend and I took this tour with Adam, and I cannot recommend it enough. The Louvre is giant, and all of its wonders cannot be appreciated in one day or trip, but with Adam, in two and a half hours, I feel like we got a comprehensive tour of the Louvre's most impactful works. We discussed the Louvre's history, Mesopotamian sculptures, Hammurabi's Code, French neo-classical paintings, Da Vinci's works, Greek vs. Roman sculpture, Napoleon's quartiers and more! This was more than I was able to see and grasp the importance of when visiting the Louvre on my own last year, where I spent the whole day in the museum, marveling at the art but not quite understanding the history or meaning of most of the works. Not only was the amount of art we saw impressive, but Adam supplied us with the historical context we needed to better understand the works and their importance to their time period and as well as their parallels to modern day. This tour was very interactive, and by asking us questions about what we knew about the Louvre or some of the time periods we discussed (which in my case, was not much at all), he met us at our level of understanding and explained things very clearly and thoughtfully. Adam was also SO engaging with witty remarks, questions, and lots of inspirational food for thought about how humans have treated art, law, sexuality, knowledge and change. On the tour, I noticed other museum goers often listening in to our conversations, which I think is a testament to how interesting and rewarding this tour was! Book it!
Dear Ruby, It was an immense pleasure to welcome you and your best friend! We are delighted that you loved your guided tour of the Louvre with Adam. Thanks a lot for booking with Fat Cat Tours! Warmly, Fat Cat Tours
We had a great tour. The pace was perfect, not to slow as we felt like we did so much but just enough time where with each stop we learned interesting tidbits that felt unique and different than most museum tours. Eduardo was awesome! So nice, full of energy and easy to talk to. Really interesting way to experience the Louvre.
Dear Colleen, We are truly delighted to read that you loved your Secrets & Scandals of the Louvre tour with Eduardo. We wish you a wonderful stay in Paris! Take care, Fat Cat Tours
Our tour of the louvre was absolutely outstanding, thanks to our incredible guide. His intelligence, knowledge in personality brought the artwork to life. He had a wonderful way of keeping everybody interested and involved throughout the tour. It was truly one of the highlights of our trip. Wish we could’ve had him for all of our tours. I cannot recommend him enough
Bonjour, We are so pleased to read that you enjoyed your guided tour of the Louvre! Thank you very much for booking with Fat Cat Tours! Warmly, Fat Cat Tours
This tour was absolutely amazing! It was so intimate and easy to follow. Violette was our guide and she was so personable and made the whole experience amazing. Typically going to a museum as massive as the Louvre can be overwhelming, and she was able to point out some of the major historical pieces as well as some scandals attached to it. It not only made the tour and Louvre experience unique, but also memorable. 10/10 would recommend. And I would use them again, next time I’m in Paris.
Dear Kevin, Thank-you for booking one of our favourite tours (who doesn't like hearing about scandals?) and for taking time out of your schedule to leave such a nice review. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your tour with Violette and hope to guide you again in the future! You can always request Violette via e-mail if you wish to have her again! Take care! Fat Cat Tours
I booked this tour for a mom and daughter trip. The guide Lili was punctual, she communicated with me and my clients. My clients said they could have never seen the Louvre without Lili. She was a wealth of knowledge. Fat Cat tours and Lili delivered!! Book them asap. They were great!
Bonjour, We are so pleased to read that your clients loved our guided Louvre tour with Lili! Thank you so much for booking with Fat Cat Tours! Warmly, Fat Cat Tours
The tour was so interesting & fun. Our guide was so personable & informative . It made me understand the art in a different way
Dear Sheryl, We would like to thank you for sharing your experience with us! We are very pleased to read that you loved your Scandals of the Louvre tour. Best wishes, Fat Cat Tours
We, as a group of four girlfriends, did the Sex and Scandals semi-private Louvre tour with William and had the absolute BEST time!! William was so welcoming and made art history so fun for us. I couldn’t recommend him enough for this tour!!
Dear Kelsea!!! We are so happy that you loved your tour with Will! The Scandals of the Louvre tour is one of our favorite tours EVER!! Thanks a lot for this lovely review! Warmly, Fat Cat Tours
Violette was the BEST tour guide anyone could ask for. She had so much knowledge, insight, humor, and kindness to offer. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best tour. She is fantastic and the tour was more than we could have ever hoped for.
Dear Christie, We are SO happy you enjoyed your Scandals of the Louvre with Violette. Thank you so much for booking a tour with Fat Cat Tours. Kind regards, Fat Cat Tours
The best! Our guide ,Florence, was exceptional. She was so knowledgeable about the Louvre and kept us engaged, learning, and enjoying the whole time! We saw and learned so much during our tour - no way could we have done that in a large tour group. I’m so glad we saw the Louvre this way. And I’m so glad Florence was our guide. I feel Florence and I became friends while on the tour, and if I get back to Paris again, I hope to visit some other museums with her! (My husband who is not really interested in art, enjoyed the tour as Florence was able to engage him with some of history of the Lourve.)
Dear Rebecca, We cannot thank you enough for this amazing review. We are so glad you loved Florence and could connect with her during your tour. We hope to have the pleasure to see you again soon in Paris! Warmly, Fat Cat Tours
