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!
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
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.
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

Doing a small group is so worth it! Violette was a great guide, and brought everything to life with her stories and knowledge of the history and artworks! The Louvre is overwhelming in size, and if you’re going to go, you might as well get much more out of it by doing it with a guide!

Maryam was an amazing tour guide for the Louve. She knew the Louve very well and provided us lots of interesting facts about the Louve and artwork in the museum. She was open to what we were interested and was able to customize the tour to our interests. There was only 3 ppl in our group and recommend a smaller group to get the most of your time.
Dear Greg, Thank-you for choosing Fat Cat for your recent Louvre tour! We are truly thrilled you enjoyed Maryam - she really is a star! We hope to have the pleasure to see you again soon! Fat Cat Tours
