Great tour - Great overview of museum and art collection. Koterina, our guide, did a good job of explaining the evolution of art leading to Impressionism and different styles of painters. We recommend her highly.

Florence is excellent - Our Guide Florence is exactly why we book private or semi-private tours. She was excellent. Her deep knowledge of the art made the D' Orsay immersive and interesting. I've been to Musee D'Orsay about six times before, several with guides and we still learned new things. Amazing

Fantastic Tour - Right on the money as far as time and pieces of interest. Lili was a fantastic guide. She was funny and informative, and not afraid to throw a sharp elbow where needed to clear some space for us to stand. It's a huge museum, and with only 2 hours you're naturally limited in what you can see, but we thought she did a great job identifying the important and notable pieces, as well as linking some of them together as we moved through the space. Wish we had more time in the museum, but this was a really good introduction and if you are looking for a good tour, this one is it.

Awesome experience! Thank you Nancy! - Our tour guide Nancy was just the best! She was fun and knowledgeable and made the semi private tour an amazing experience. If you have the chance to go to Paris visit this museum and request Nancy! We can’t thank her enough!

Lovely afternoon at the Orsay Museum - Anatole did an exceptional job guiding our group through the Orsay museum. He provided context as we moved through the rooms and helped provide a deeper understanding of impressionist painting and how it evolved from previous styles. He also did a great job of getting our group to the specific works he wanted to discuss. I highly recommend this tour.

Musée d’Orsay with Ana S. - My mom and I enjoyed the morning on a private tour of the Musée d”Orsay with Ana S. She was fabulous and very knowledgeable of art history, painting styles, artists. It was like taking an art history class but we got to see the real paintings instead of photo slides of them.
