Great Guide, Beautiful Museum - The museum is beautiful and houses a great variety in its collections. Heimish is a wonderful guide. He was professional, informative, knowledgeable and considerate. The tour was at an acceptable pace and he provided the group with ample opportunities to ask questions and take pictures. We usually book private tours due to a few unfavorable experiences in the past, but Heimish renewed our hope that being in a group can still be an enjoyable experience. You just need a great guide to facilitate a good experience.

Claire was the best - Claire was an absolutely MAGNIFICENT tour guide. She explained so much in great detail but in a way that was easy to understand and appreciate. For instance, she told us about prevailing attitudes of the public towards the Impressionist painters at the time and the reasons why they were initially looked down upon. She was also just a very pleasant and fun person to be around. Her company is lucky to have her.

Tour guide was wonderful... - Tour guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable but the tour was only 1.5hrs not 2 and it was very hard to hear the guide without a headset as we have experienced on other tours.

Expectations - Not enough time To see the Impressionists which was the main reason for our visit. Too much time was spent on the first floor and then we were not even given an explanation or time to see the famous clock. Our Guide seemed to be unfamiliar with changes at the museum and doubted some things he talked about.
