The Orsay Museum is a hidden treasure. The building is beautiful and the paintings well organized. The crowds seem to be manageable as compared to other tourist attractions. The paintings are some of the finest artworks ever made. The experience would not have been nearly as meaningful without our very knowledgeable guide, Amber, that put everything into historical perspective and explained all the paintings. The cost of the small group tour was very worthwhile.
Mariam was a wonderful guide through the Orsay Museum! I absolutely recommend the tour 100%. The history and storytelling made every work of art come to life.
I had not been to this museum before and am not a huge fan of the Impressionist movement but Dina brought it all to life for me, my 10yo and my senior mother.
She is passionate about her favorite artists and was able to pivot, seamlesly, with the rotating works of art. She was funny too and was able to confidently answer all our questions. We had a great time with her and highly recommend her! Hey Dina - if you’re reading this, definitely check out the toy store - Pain d'épices - it was awesome!
Thanks for a memorable tour!
This was a fantastic way to see the Orsay museum. The guide was engaging humorous and attentive. The small group meant personalized guiding. I would only do it this way as a first time visitor. I am very glad I booked this tour.
Adrien is the next guide. Very informative and has a great personality. Highly recommend this Tour if you like impressionist paintings.
Our tour guide was super knowledgeable & very friendly, & we'd definitely recommend this tour of the Orsay to anyone!
This is an adventure into the history behind Impressionism. Our guide was a delightful, knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
Powerful collection of curated art. Much more intimate than the Lourve. Alban was informed, experienced, entertaining and courteous.
Great tour and a wonderful way to see the museum without getting lost in the crowds. Jennifer was a great tour guide full of interesting stories about the artist. The museum is my favorite big but not too big.
Lots of standing but a slow walk. Very good tour. Our lady, Monika was very informative! We felt like we recived a great review of the history of the artists.
We had a small group tour (5 people) from Babylon Tours booked through Viator. Our tour guide Francesca was a wealth of knowledge regarding the museum, its history and its incredible contents. Highly recommend getting a guide for the full experience.
Enticing, informative, well covered the background in details of art collections by Adrian
A small group made personal attention and more interactive
Our guide, Valerie, was friendly, knowledgeable and funny! It was a pleasure touring the museum with her!
Loved the history of the train station and much more manageable than the Louve. The restaurant was also great!
Florent was a knowledgeable, friendly and passionate guide. It was obvious he loves the impressionist painters and the D’Orsay museum. Couldn’t more highly recommend him for a tour.
We loved our tour of the Musee D’Orsay with Dunja R. She is so knowledgable about the art and passionate about sharing her knowledge. She infuses her deep knowledge of history in her explanations of the art, which gave us new perspectives on the works of artists we’ve seen many times before. We highly recommend her.
Sergio was an excellent tour guide! We really enjoyed our tour of Musee D’Orsay. Sergio did a nice job of giving context and explaining things as we went through the museum. We would book again with Sergio!
Guide was very knowledgeable on impressionism
Small group made it enjoyable and easy to ask questions
Our experience was fun, informative, and much appreciated by the group. I highly recommend Yseult Yovtchev as your guide.
Beatrice did a fabulous job. She was well informed, patient, and entertaining. I cannot say enough good things about this fun tour!
Great way to see museum if you have limited time.. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Be prepared for steps.
William D. Was very knowledgeable, and enjoyable!!! The orsay was much better than the louvre…less crowded and great art. The train station was amazing. Don’t miss the sculpture entitled woman bitten by a snake.
Be ready for wonderful stories behind the art. The guide dove deep into history of not only the art but the building itself.
Excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He explained many things about the paintings, artists and the changing places and times they inhabited.
Christophe our guide was outstanding. He showed us many pieces, lots of great stories and history. Skip the line was worth it as well
Anatole was a great personality with a passion for the history and the art. One thing that I really like about his presentation was the use of a headset mic. Other guides use lapel mics that make it hard to hear in noisy museums.
This tour was so very informative and educational. Daniel knew all of the history and culture of the artists and areas. Excellent tour.
Thank you!
This is the third year in a row that we came to Paris and had a lot of tour guide but Florence was the most knowledgeable art guide we had! She was informative and very pleasant. I would highly recommend her. She showed us the special Renoir exhibit before the rest of Museum. She was the only guide who was capable and Babylon Tours found her especially for us!
It was a great private tour!
Our tour guide, Alban, was terrific! Very interesting and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful time. I would highly recommend this tour and guide.
I wasn't sure to book the guided tour of the Musée d'Orsay, on one side because of the high price, and on the other because I was afraid it could be boring or poorly executed. André C., our guide, made it totallyworth it! It was fun, I testing, even exciting! He made a perfect mix of historical context, painters background and artistic concepts. He was passionate, fun and deeply knowledgeable. If he's you're guide, the tour will be worth it!
