Must do if visiting the Musee D’Orsay

angelina014, Dec 2024

Cristina, our tour guide, was amazing!! I’ve been to the Musee D’Orsay twice before but have such a new appreciation of the art by doing a tour. I love the small group as it felt like a private tour!

Cristina was knowledgeable not only about art, but the history behind the artist and the painting. She was also genuinely excited to share her knowledge with us. She made sure to point out the important paintings of the museum and the time flew by! I would highly recommend this tour if you are going to Musee D’Orsay and wanted to experience it properly!

Amazing Tour!

Emma was an excellent guide: She brought perspective to the layout of the museum and special meaning to the paintings and artists. The tour was absolutely brilliant. We laughed, we were stunned, and we learned much more than we expected...

Excellent tour

Florent was excellent! He was knowledgable yet very approachable and personable. We saw many of the highlights as we gained insight to Impressionism and its history. There is still much more to see, the only thing I would do differently is to have planned to stay in the museum post tour to see more.

Great museum, different guide content needed

Jennifer_C, Dec 2024

Great museum, the guide was very nice, however the descriptions of chosen artwork were waaaaayyyy too long, especially for people like us who are casual museum/art fans. We would have rather focused on more pieces of art and cut the content down by half. The 5th floor is THE most amazing part and was only 25% or the tour.

Excellent Visit

Christophe was excellent. A very enjoyable tour with my wife and a small group. We were able to see and learn so much during our 2-2.5 hour tour.
