About this experience

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.

The most rewarding part of my trip to Paris

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!

Response from the operator: 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

Fun and unique way to see the Louvre!

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.

Response from the operator: 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

Best tour of France

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

Response from the operator: 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

Everything we wanted to know: Sex + Scandals.

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.

Response from the operator: 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

See the Louvre with the right guide

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!

Response from the operator: 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

Secrets & Scandals of the Louvre - Limited to 6 Guests: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.

How much does Secrets & Scandals of the Louvre - Limited to 6 Guests cost?

+

Prices start at $189 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 Secrets & Scandals of the Louvre - 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 Secrets & Scandals of the Louvre - Limited to 6 Guests worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 51 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 Secrets & Scandals of the Louvre - 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 Secrets & Scandals of the Louvre - Limited to 6 Guests suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2.5-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Secrets & Scandals of the Louvre - Limited to 6 Guests?

+

Around 18 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 Secrets & Scandals of the Louvre - 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.
