Our Musée d’Orsay Masterpieces guided tour brings all the world renowned artwork to life as our expert guide introduces you not only to the masterpieces but also to the masters who created them. Get to really know and understand the life and works of the masters and make the most of your time by being shown the true highlights of this vast collection. Learn about the Impressionist period through the world's largest collection of Impressionist paintings. Get up close and see the individual brushstrokes on some of the most famous paintings, a painting technique that was fervently criticized at the time. See works by many French painters such as Renoir, Degas and Monet. Although Van Gogh was Dutch, his famous Starry Night is a representation of the French city of Arles, overlooking the Rhône. View Renoir’s Impressionist masterpiece Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette, a depiction of a typical Sunday afternoon in the Parisian district of Montmartre.

Our guide was excellent. She was very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate through out the tour.
Cristina was an excellent and knowledgeable guide. She gave us a great understanding of how art developed.
Our guide Hugo was very good! He explained the context and history of the paintings, sculptures and Orsay.
Tour began on time and we entered the museum, no line no waiting. The guide showed us where to store our bags in lockers which was very convenient. A member of our group lost her phone and the guide patiently waited for her to go back to the restroom and search. After 5-10 minutes he led the woman to the lost and found office and amazingly they had her phone. Very knowledgeable guide and entertaining, he mixed in some very funny stories. He extended the the tour time to make up for the lost phone, thank you.
Our guide, Anaïs was absolutely amazing! She was so knowledgeable and did an amazing job explaining all of the beautiful art work. I would highly recommend her.
This was the Louvre tour with Gregory. Great experience and Gregory was fantastic. This was a city wonders tour. I highly recommend doing this tour!
My compliments to Anaïs! She guided us through the exhibition halls with thoughtfulness, engaging eye contact, and an infectious enthusiasm for sharing the stories behind each artist and their work. What she provided was far more than a tour—it was a truly memorable experience. Her passion, knowledge, and energy brought the exhibits to life, and we were delighted to have her as our guide. I would highly recommend Anaïs to anyone visiting. She is a 10 out of 10, and the experience was absolutely worth the time and money.
The small group tour with Christine was excellent. She was able to get us close to paintings and helped us to navigate a very crowded museum. Her knowledge of and interest in the impressionists was obvious and so she made it interesting for us. She welcomed questions and participation. Highly recommended
I had never been to Musée D'Orsay before so it was great to do this guided tour. - We saw a good range of different paintings and learned some interesting art history. Definitely worthwhile to get a good flavour of the museum!
Fantastic! Anais was amazing and was deeply knowledgeable about the art we were seeing. There is a lot to look at so we didn't get to see absolutely everything, but we got the major highlights and after the tour was over we were able to go explore more in depth. I would highly recommend!
