Sabine was an awesome guide. Incredibly knowledgeable. Witty. Great storyteller. Really did hit the highlights without dwelling too much on any one thing, which I like.
Our guide, Justine, was very knowledgeable. She taught us so much about the history of the art. This was one of our favorite museum tours.
Monty, our wonderful guide, is a wealth of knowledge. He is very pleasant, and delivers information in a concise, and interesting way. A fantastic tour!! Thank you!!
Justine was an exceptional guide at the Musée d’Orsay and truly elevated our entire experience. She is incredibly knowledgeable, personable, and patient, and she has a rare talent for making art history feel clear, engaging, and meaningful. Her explanations of the evolution from academically accepted art to Impressionism and then Post-Impressionism were insightful and easy to follow, giving us a strong framework for understanding what we were seeing. Thanks to Justine, the works of Van Gogh, Manet, and Monet were not just beautiful paintings, but stories filled with context, intention, and innovation. She helped us see details and ideas we would have completely missed on our own, and we walked away with a much deeper appreciation of both the artists and their groundbreaking contributions. Justine’s passion for art is contagious, and her thoughtful, well-paced approach made the tour enjoyable for everyone. This was an unforgettable experience, and we cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone visiting the Musée d’Orsay.
We had a wonderful private tour with Walid from Project Expedition. Walid was not only incredibly knowledgeable, he was also very nice and we enjoyed every moment with him. I would unreservedly recommend Walid and Project Expedition to anyone looking to understand art, it’s place and role in history.
Our visit to the Musée d’Orsay was unforgettable thanks to our exceptional guide. Warm, engaging, and wonderfully knowledgeable, she brought the museum to life in a way that felt both intimate and inspiring. Rather than reciting facts, she told stories—about the artists, the era, and the quiet rebellions behind the paintings—that made each gallery resonate. She read the group perfectly, inviting questions and tailoring the tour to what fascinated us most. We liked her a lot, and it showed in how relaxed and curious we felt throughout. We left not only informed, but genuinely moved and eager to return. Thank you Justine and best wishes to you!
Our experience for a 10 with Monty out private guide! He was so detailed on all the information he provided and extremely knowledgeable. Monty had a very nice personality and answered our questions … My Aunt and I highly recommend this Tour Company and ask for Monty as you will be very happy with his service..
We had a well educated tour guide who walked us the through the lay out of the museum and then explained the important works and how the art movement developed in France. Well thought out and attentive to our interests! Romain was wonderful and clear and concise and also shared a favorite restaurant for a later dinner too! Great experience and a great guide!!!
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with Victor. He was patient and very knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to hire a private tour.
Blerta gave us a great tour of the Musée d’Orsay. She was very friendly and informative. We very much enjoyed our tour and would not have gotten as much out of the museum had we not had a guide. Blerta really helped us see and understand more from the paintings.
