The tour was so...

Sheryl_N, Sep 2025

The tour was so interesting & fun. Our guide was so personable & informative . It made me understand the art in a different way

Response from Host, Nov 2025

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

BEST way to see the Louvre!!!

Rebecca_R, Apr 2025

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.)

Response from Host, Apr 2025

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
