Go Team Adam - Adam was the best. He kept things moving, his knowledge was scholarly and entertaining so understanding the art, artist and influence of how and what was happening during that time period to what we see today make a lot more sense which takes us to the why. It’s always nice to connect the why. Thank you Adam!

Outstanding tour of the Musée d'Orsay - There are different qualities of excellent tour guides, the tour with Violette was once again outstanding among them. She is likely to speak fluent multiple languages, her English is perfect, uncomplicated museum presentation with headphones, incredible detail knowledge, humorous & very likeable manner. Overall, the 2.5 hours in the Musee d'Orsay have passed like in flight, and in the end you already want to book the next tour with her.. absolute recommendation !!!
