The passion of the Louvre with Adam - Adam was so charming and knowledgeable. It was so nice to learn the history behind all of the pieces. I found myself emotional as he positioned us just perfectly to view each piece. I would have never known how to navigate this amazing museum with so many things to see. Without his brilliant guidance we would’ve been lost!

Fantastic tour with an incredible guide! - Adam is one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had! So knowledgeable and taught us so much about the art we saw, helped me appreciate museums in a new way. In addition to being so knowledgeable he was incredibly funny and efficient in guiding us around the museum. Would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Paris!

Intelligent and entertaining guide, Adam, is one of the BEST - Adam Von Eichmeyer, PhD was magnificent as a guide through the Louvre. He thoughtfully planned the route through the Louvre to maximize our view time and minimize crowd time! Not only did we view many of the masterpieces, Adam shared so much background and insight of each piece and artist, it REALLY enriched our experience. Highly recommend Adam. We have toured many museums in many countries and he is one of the best!

Best tour guide we've ever had. - Adam Von Eichmeyer, PHD, of #walksoffrance was the best tour guide we've ever had. He was so knowledgeable and funny which made his tour a delite. The Aphrodite De Milo, or as uneducated call it Venus De Milo, must be viewed to see it's perfection 360°. Also story of Salai, Leonardo De Vinci's lover, who posed for the Mona Lisa. Which caused the patron to reject the portrait as it wasn't Lisa (his wife). The story of how Canada came to the rescue of this work and so many more. I thoroughly recommend Adam be your next guide if you're lucky enough to get the chance. Thanks Adam.

Worth every penny !!! - Our guide Barbara knew so much about the Louvre. Without her …first we would be constantly lost and second would never have learned so much in a short time. Last we weren’t struggling to follow a group we were able to ask as many questions as we wanted and she knew the answers.

This is the way to explore Louvre - Pouring rain. Long lines. Intimidatingly large museum. Young kids in the group. A recipe for a disastrous day for the tourists? Enter Violette and Fat Cat Tours. The private tour not only allowed us to avoid the crowd at the entrance but gave us a hugely entertaining and informative time in the museum. We only had to follow the guide, absorb the fun facts about the French history and the art objects and enjoy the humorous and engaging narration. Best time we have spent in Paris.

Phenomenal Learning Experience - Violette was a superb tour guide. I learned more in two and a half hours than in any class I have ever taken. Her love and knowledge of history made this a phenomenal experience. If you are in Paris, you need to take this tour. And no waiting in line- Amazing!

One of the best tours I've ever done!! - This is one of the best tours I have ever done! Violette was amazing! We were a family of 5 with 3 kids. She is definitely an expert on the subject and kept us engaged all the time. She went beyond explaining the masterpieces in such an interesting way. Kids had a great time.
Organization was outstanding: meeting point, instructions, no lines, no crowds.

Team Adam for life! - We just completed a closing tour of the Louve with Adam and he really kept it entertaining while also educational. We learned so much more than we would have without a guide, and Adam was even better with his storytelling. I will be recommending to everyone I know that is visiting Paris.
