About this experience
With a maximum of six people per group, you are guaranteed a nearly private experience! The name says it all! Delve deeper into lesser-known but equally important masterpieces all whilst skipping the most crowded part of the museum. You will see hand-picked pieces throughout the museum’s vast collections from Mesopotamia, Ancient Greece and Rome, the Renaissance, and French neoclassicism. After all, the Mona Lisa is only one of 7,500 paintings on display. This tour is more customisable than the others so please contact us if there is a specific collection you would like to visit.

Amazing tour
Adam was amazing! We on “Team Adam” got to see and hear about the highlights of the Louvre and added notes for when we return again on our own.

The best way to see things you’d never find on your own in the Louvre!
I’ve been to the Louvre a couple of times so wasn’t sure I needed a tour but I’m so glad we booked this. Our guide expertly avoided the crowded rooms and showed us some of the other amazing things the museum has to offer!
Response from the operator: Dear Lily, Thanks a million for writing this great review. We truly value the feedback of our guests, and yours is much appreciated. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Paris! Kind regards, Fat Cat Tours

Loved our Louvre tour by Lili
This review is the semi private Fat Cat Tours for the Louvre, with Lili. The tour doesn’t appear here, so I ended up selecting this Louvre tour which is Everything but the Mona Lisa. Lili is 10/10!!! She made the Louvre tour so fun and engaging for me, my husband and my 4 kids (aged 8 to 17 years old). We were tired from an almost full day Versailles tour. But she was able to hold my kids’ attention for the entire 2-2.5 hour tour. She talked to them at an eye to eye level, and gave a lot of back stories and history to the key art pieces in the museum. Despite the wide age levels of my kids, she was able to engage all of them and hold their attention. It was a fun and informative time for all of us. My husband and I had been to the Louvre many years ago, and had gotten an audio guide only at that time. I must say I came out of this tour with a much better appreciation of the key art pieces. I will definitely recommend this! If at all, the only opportunity I would note is to improve the Fat Cat Tours website and contact hotline. They had a promo code available on the site, but there was no place to input the promo code. I left them a message on their Instagram page, as well as sent them an email via their website. But I received no replies at all. Finally, I was left with no choice but to proceed with my booking without utilizing the discounted rates.
Response from the operator: Bonjour, We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your tour of the Louvre with Lili . She will be thrilled to read the review as well. Thank-you for taking the time to write a review and for having chosen Fat Cat Tours. We apologize for the glitch in the system that prevented you from using the promo code. We hope to see you again in the future! Warmly, Fat Cat Tours

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Louvre: Everything but the Mona Lisa - Limited to 6 Guests: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Louvre: Everything but the Mona Lisa - Limited to 6 Guests cost?
+
Prices start at $159 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Louvre: Everything but the Mona Lisa - Limited to 6 Guests take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Louvre: Everything but the Mona Lisa - Limited to 6 Guests worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 60 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Louvre: Everything but the Mona Lisa - Limited to 6 Guests?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Louvre: Everything but the Mona Lisa - Limited to 6 Guests suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Louvre: Everything but the Mona Lisa - Limited to 6 Guests?
+
Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Louvre: Everything but the Mona Lisa - Limited to 6 Guests start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
