Secrets & Scandals of the Louvre - Limited to 6 Guests
Overview
Available languages
2 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
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

5.00My 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!
Fun and unique way to see the Louvre!

5.00We 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.
Best tour of France

5.00Our 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
Everything we wanted to know: Sex + Scandals.

5.00This 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.
See the Louvre with the right guide

5.00Violette was the BEST tour guide anyone could ask for. She had so much knowledge, insight, humor, and kindness to offer. She went above and beyond to make sure we had the best tour. She is fantastic and the tour was more than we could have ever hoped for.
BEST way to see the Louvre!!!

5.00The 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.)
Great way to see the Louvre!

5.00My son and I really enjoyed our tour with Ivana! It was one of our favorite activities in Paris this past weekend. Both of us had never visited the Louvre and Ivana made the experience enjoyable and approachable. We learned a ton and enjoyed every minute of it. I 100% recommend this tour.
Wonderful
