One of the best tours ever. Paloma taught us more about art than I would have ever thought possible. Highly recommended.
Paloma was an excelente guide, very well explained, friendly and profesional.
Fantastic tour, worth every penny. Our tour guide was incredible. Francois Vuilliet was soooo good!
Anatole’s tour was outstanding. He has deep knowledge of the art and his wit and wonderful stories keep everyone’s interest. One of the best art tours we have ever had!
Julien was a wonderful, knowledgeable and amicable guide! Great and useful commentaries that deepened my understanding of the works.
Touring the Musée d Orsay with Juan Carlos was the best museum experience we have had anywhere. We were expecting the usual canned painting descriptions, the one the guide could give in their sleep. What Juan Carlos delivered was a description of the social, economic and political conditions occurring from the birth of Impressionism through Cubism and beyond. His enthusiasm and knowledge were infectious, we highly recommend him.
Fantastic tour guide and fantastic tour! I was a little reluctant because of the cost and I'm pretty familiar with Impressionist art, but this was my boyfriend's first trip to Paris and I really want him to have a good time and to love the Orsay as much as I do. Our tour guide, Nancy from England, was fantastic! She took us through the lower floors the Orsay, which I normally would have skipped, and I was so impressed! She was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and listened when I had things to add--like that Degas lived for 4 months in New Orleans and had an American mother. She was just terrific! Highly recommended!
We had a wonderful afternoon at de Orsay. Daniel was an excellent guide. Highly recommend!
Florent was an outstanding guide. Clear communication prior to the tour and during. Expert knowledge and clear passion for the art and museum he shared with us.
Sunday was our guide & she did a wonderful in-depth tour of the Musée d’Orsay. She really explained the paintings & how the styles evolved from the Renaissance painters to the Impressionist movement. She engaged us to think about the way the paintings were painted & then explained how they were originally received in the French Salons during their respective eras. I found Sunday to be very knowledgeable, entertaining & enthusiastic during the entire tour. I highly recommend booking this tour!!
