Deseo en exhibición : El Tour del Louvre homoerótico (Máx. 6 personas)

My partner and I had a phenomenal time on the private LGBTQ+ History of the Louvre tour with Adam. He is incredibly well-informed about the art, thanks to his advanced degrees and having worked at the Louvre on painting restoration. We had niche questions about the art and the building itself, and Adam had detailed answers for all of them! He made the tour engaging and humorous, he customized it perfectly to specific art preferences we had (like the Heartstopper courtyard!), and he taught us tips to get more from all our future museum visits (e.g. discerning Roman vs. Greek sculpture, how to identify certain artists’ styles over time). Plus, to top it all off, he was super fashionably dressed. We will enthusiastically recommend him to our friends and book with him again on our next visit!

This tour was our favorite experience of our Paris trip (the food was a close second, of course!). Our guide, Eduardo, was a wealth of knowledge and brought the history alive with his enthusiasm and descriptive presentation of art, politics, culture, and lifestyle from Pre-historic times all the way up to the present. We could not believe how quickly the two hours passed. This was not simply a tour of general facts but, rather, a trip through time, with Eduardo providing insights regarding the lives of the artists and the context in which their works were created. Eduardo is clearly very well-read and a scholar of history in general, and the history of gay issues as portrayed in works of art of all eras. I highly recommend this tour and suggest you ask for Eduardo. You will not be disappointed.

The Louvre, while housing the world’s largest and most prodigious collection of masterpieces and artistic history, has the potential to be incredibly overwhelming or sensationalized. William gave us a private tour of the LGBTQ+ and sexuality themed art of the museum and it was hands down the most engaging, informative, gracious and all-around enjoyable museum tour we have ever had (and we have been to many and experienced a wide variety of tour guides). He has a PhD in musicology (music history) and that expertise shone through so clearly. Art and music have been twins throughout history, so the depth of knowledge was truly beyond our wildest expectations and his delivery and just how effortlessly he dealt with the staff and crowds of the Louvre made for a picture perfect visit top to bottom. Run don’t walk to book him for your next trip! We will certainly be returning to him and Fat Cat for various tours in the future!

Violette was our guide and she was fantastic! We would highly recommend doing any tours hosted by Violette!! She was funny, very knowledgeable, and shared interesting stories to make our tour memorable.

If there is a more compelling, enjoyable and expert lens to explore the Louvre, I cannot think of any better than that given us by Adam on behalf of Fat Cat Tours. My husband and I, with four friends, seized an evening in June to enjoy a private, unique visit to the Louvre's homoerotic masterworks, history and back stories. Adam truly disarmed us with an immense sophistication about all aspects of the Louvre's collection - and skillfully navigated so many exhibits we likely would have missed. His gifts for story-telling and questions piqued our interest with every single artifact and artwork we saw. Two and a half hours barely scratches the surface - and his energy never flagged a moment. It was the perfect solution for our enjoyment of the world's greatest art collection. We cannot recommend Fat Cat Tours, and especially Adam, enough.
