Head inside with your included admission tickets, and follow your guide straight to the museum’s most famous pieces and lesser-known gems. Admire the "Mona Lisa," "The Raft of the Medusa," the "Venus de Milo," and other storied works.

After time for a lunch break (own expense), cross the Seine River during a short walk to the Musée d’Orsay. Bypass the lines and head inside.

Housed inside a 19th-century Beaux-Arts former train station, the Musée d’Orsay boasts the world’s finest collection of impressionist and post-impressionist masterpieces, including works by Manet, Renoir, Cézanne, and Gauguin. Masters such as van Gogh, Degas, and Rodin are also well-represented at the museum.

At the conclusion of your tour, enjoy more time to explore the museum's collection at your leisure.

Julien was great guide to have us walk through the museums. He knew all the perfect spots to go to and the quiet jest way to get there. With all of the people in the Louvre this was extremely helpful and made the most of our time. He knew all about the art and paintings and was able to tell us many stories we would have never know without him being there.

Guide Emma was GREAT😃😃😃

I think I have already reviewed this tour but just in case I didn't, I am doing it a second time only because I want to praise our wonderful tour guide Bellan.
