Guided tour of Musée d’Orsay - My husband and I booked a guided tour of Musée d’Orsay, hoping to get a more curated overview of the exhibit. The museum itself is amazing, you could easily spend a day there and it can be overwhelming. Manu, our guide, was very knowledgable, enthusiastic and he created a themed itinerary for us, focusing on modernity and explaining artists styles, use of color and lines, influences. I would highly recommend him!

Great way to condense and yet understand the art of Musee de Orsay. - Although we did have to wait in the entry line for 20-30 minutes ( in the rain), the quality of the guide and museum offset the downside. The guide had a well thought out plan as to what we should see in order for us to understand the Impressionist and post Impressionist artists. That ensured that we'd move along and get through the museum in a reasonable time. All in all...very well done!
