What a great way to visit the museum for first timers. I would highly recommend this tour for someone who has limited time and has not visited the museum before.

Bonjour Ronna, thank you so much for your kindest words ! We had a lovely time with you, Suzanne & Kelly !!
Amber was a fantastic guide and we had a wonderful experience. We got in right past the long lines and were skillfully guided through the impressive collection. Amber's storytelling really helped connect me with the art, which was great because art museums aren't usually my thing.

Bonjour Alyssa, how kind of you to write such a nice review about our Private tour of Musee d'Orsay with Amber ! Isn't she the perfect guide ?
We look forward to welcoming you soon for new adventures !
This was a fantastic tour! Our guide, Lucien, was amazing! He explained the history of the salons, the style of each painting and lives of each of the artists. We learned so much in 2 hours. And he was so excited to share his knowledge and answer any question. His English was superb. We got to see so much w/him and then spent time on our own in the museum after. If you can get this guide I promise you will not be disappointed!

Hello Nicole! We are very grateful for your fantastic review about Lucien. He is indeed a fantastic tour guide, and we are all very happy you had such a wonderful time with him during your private tour of the Orsay Museum.
Our guide Soline was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable about the history of the museum and the artwork inside.

Bonjour Susan,
Merci beaucoup for your very nice review about Soline and our private tour of Musee d'Orsay. She is a fantastic guide and make the all collection come to life!
See you soon for new Parisian adventures!
Viktor was spectacular. His deep understanding of the artists work and ability to explain how different paintings reflect the progress of the society is really amazing. He has a deep knowledge of the paintings and makes it very interesting. Not your regular tour guide. If you have kids, who ate looking for a broader understanding of art, don’t miss this tour.

We look forward to seeing you soon in Paris!
The only way to see the museum! Thank you Val for a great tour. So informative! Toured at a pace that gave us time to discuss the various pieces of art.

Thank you very much for your very nice words. Valentine is a wonderful guide and she loves the musee d'Orsay so much.
We look forward to seeing you soon in Paris!
This is by far the best way to see the museum especially if you are like me and aren't an expert in art. My guide did an excellent job in setting the context and guiding me through the museum as well as giving me a great foundation for better understanding the connection of this collection with that of the Louvre. She also did a great job of explaining the history of the museum itself and how other museums in the area fit into or connected with the Orsay.
Our guide was delightful and extremely knowledgeable about the art and the museum. I’ve learned it’s worth the value to tour art museums with a guide because you get much more out of the experience.
