Naomi

Naomi was well informed about impressionist art. She customized the D Orsay tour for us do to disability issues. Excellent in her knowledge and explanation of how different artists styles were exhibited.

Naomi was great at helping us to navigate this amazing museum. We saved a lot of time by skipping the line. She was very knowledgeable and helped us gain insight into the art.

Glad you had a wonderful experience at Orsay!

A must!

Laura_S, Oct 2022

Our tour guide, Naomi, was a wealth of information about the art we viewed, as well as the politics and philosophical events occurring during the particular periods of time in which the artists lived and created. We all highly recommend this tour!

Excellent

Naomi does an excellent job of bringing the paintings to life and saying the story through them. She is knowledgable but importantly speaks in a simple and easy to understand language even for those who are new to this field.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Aw, so glad you enjoyed your tour!

Excellent Tour of the Orsay

We very much enjoyed our tour of the Orsay with Naomi. She provided great perspective and an informative tour through the beautiful Orsay museum. We also thank her for her great Lunch recommendation! We would highly recommend Naomi and this Tour.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Great! glad you enjoyed your tile with Naomi!

Thought Provoking

Paul_P, Apr 2022

Our guide Naomi was very well versed in the collection and showed us a lot that we did not expect to see. She got a bit painterly on us a couple of times, and perhaps she picked some pictures to focus on just for shock value, but he point was how the artists in this museum pushed the boundaries.

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Hello Paul, Yes, artists at the time were interested in pushing limits and redefining norms both politically and in their art. Sorry if anything works made you uncomfortable. Hope we will see you again someday, all the best.

Memorable experience

Victoria_L, Apr 2022

Naomi was wonderful and gave the history and context of what was happening in Paris when the artworks were made. I would book her again a million times! She was kind and fun to be with!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

So glad you enjoyed your time with Naomi! Hope to see you again soon.

Very efficient...

Very efficient registration, meet-up, and tour. Our guide, Naomi, was very knowledgeable and an artist, so the tour was both educational and conducted from a unique perspective. We highly recommend Viator.
