Semi-Private Homoerotic Louvre Tour with Entrance
Overview
Available languages
2 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
With a maximum of six people per group, you are guaranteed a nearly private experience! Throughout the history of art, the male nude and homosexuality have been catalysts in the development of art. This unique tour will bring you through the depiction on not only homosexuality but also of masculinity and nudity over a period of 9000 years from Mesopotamia to 19th century French paintings. Although the main theme of much of the paintings in the Louvre is religious, the painters behind them wove a saucy network of affairs and sex - often with each other. If you want to learn about the drama between Raphael, Leonardo, and Michelangelo and how this manifested in their art and portrayals of men, this is the tour for you!

Bringing the Louvre to Life With Adam Made all the Difference

5.00If 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.
The Queers are Here! And this one will be back!

5.00This was a unique experience to learn about queer history in these eras that are erased in any other tour and literature. Will, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and willing to answer my many, many questions. I normally get bored on tours, but his enthusiasm and content knowledge kept me engaged and eager to know more. Will was friendly, open to discussing many topics, and flexible to tailor content to his audiences' needs and interest. Our tour was during the time the Louvre had unpredictable hours due to strikes, so I greatly appreciated Fat Cat's efforts to accommodate us as best as possible to be seen the same day as our tour was originally scheduled. I recommend clarifying which tour you choose or request the one you specifically want to do ahead of time. When I am back in France, I hope to do another queer tour with Fat Cat!

5.00Will was a fantastic tour guide, fun, engaging, and extremely knowledgeable. He adjusted what he showed us and how he presented it on the fly to fit our group. We learned a ton about queer history and spicy details about the artistic traditions of ancient Greece. There was a problem with our originally scheduled start time (not Fat Cat's fault), and they worked to make it right. We ended up in a better situation than we had planned.

5.00Our tour guide William was very knowledgeable and theatrical, which kept us engaged and entertained. We moved at a fast pace, and 2.5hrs went quickly but also was my perspnal max for museum standing. We were grateful to learn queer history and meet the OG twink. It was not quite what we expected, as the description discussed the impressionist painters and our tour was predominantly marble statues related to Greek mythology. Overall, we had some laughs and were glad we took the tour.
Entertaining, Educational and Sensual!

5.00William was an incredibly knowledgeable, witty and engaging guide who led us on a private trip through the Louvre, explaining an abundance of hidden queer subtext embedded in sculpture, paintings and even furniture! This tour is a fantastic option if you want a deeper understanding on how male desire has been delicately "coded" over the ages. Every piece we viewed was given a detailed historical and mythological context, often accompanied by humorous asides. Without William's explanations, there are many details I would have easily overlooked and many works I would have entirely missed. Highly recommended if you want a queer tour of the Louvre doesn't revolve around the classic tourist-bait pieces of the Mona Lisa, Winged Victory, Venus de Milo, etc This is also a wonderful option if this is your second/third visit to the Louvre- I guarantee that you'll see some works in a totally new context. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit and would recommend it to anyone with a passing interest in discovering the hidden underground of historically significant queer art.
Fantastic Private Tour of the Louvre Museum!! Thank You!

5.00My husband and I felt like VIPs on our private tour of the Louvre Museum with our fun and knowledgeable guide, William! This unique tour combining art and the history of the Louvre, through the lens of sexuality and nudity from ancient Greeks, Romans, through the renaissance - truly fascinating. A+++ As this was our first time visiting the Louvre, William made sure we still saw the can’t miss exhibitions (Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo, and Winged Victory). Will certainly book other tours with FatCats next time we visit Paris.
Fun and engaging tour - do it! :)

5.00This was probably one of our favorite experiences during our winter vacation. The tour is so fun, it mixes real knowledge and historical context with a honest queer/gay perspective - all possible thanks to William, our tour guide. William was engaging with both is expertise and his fun personality. 100% recommend this tour, it’s worth every penny/euro. Easy logistics, great communication. Also, we kinda felt like VIPs at Louvre 😝
Best Tour I’ve Had!

5.00William was our guide and it was one of the most informative and interesting tours I’ve ever taken. He was obviously passionate about the history of the Louvre and art history. He was an engaging conversationalist and the time went too quickly. I will definitely book Fat Cat Tours on future visits!

5.00What a highlight of our trip to Paris. Our tour guide William O. made us feel like we had been friends for years. His in-depth knowledge was so impressive. He perspective and point of view was the best. He blended Homoerotic view point seamlessly. He guided us through the Louvre so effectively so we were not overwhelmed. I would recommend this tour, and I would highly recommend William O. specifically. Thank you for the memories
