Paris: Musée d’Orsay Guided Tour with an Expert

Thank you, Kristin! Being a good listener alongside all that knowledge is such an underrated quality in a guide, giving you the space to actually think and ask rather than just absorb information. We really appreciate such a thoughtful review, and we hope you had a wonderful time here!

Thank you! The d'Orsay is such a spectacular museum and Anthony's knowledge and passion for it are truly something special. We're so glad it left such an impression! He'll be delighted to hear this.

Thank you Amy!

So glad it made your visit to Paris even better! He'll be delighted to hear this.

Thank you Laura! Anthony's enthusiasm for Impressionism is genuinely infectious and the d'Orsay is the most extraordinary place to experience it — the colours, the light, the stories behind those iconic works. We're so glad it all came together so beautifully for you. He'll be delighted to hear this!

Thank you Claudia! The Impressionist collection at the d'Orsay is truly extraordinary and Amélie has a wonderful depth of knowledge that brings those incredible works and the artists behind them to life. So glad you loved the tour. She'll be delighted to hear this

Thank you for your review and we're glad you enjoyed the d'Orsay — it truly is one of the most beautiful museums in the world and the Impressionist collection is extraordinary. However, we have been unable to find any record of your booking with us, and we wonder if you may have been with another operator on the day. All our guests receive detailed instructions in advance including the exact meeting point, a map, and how to identify their guide. We also call all guests who are not at the meeting point to see if they need help finding it. Every guest is known to us by name — we are waiting to welcome each one personally. Tripadvisor, like many platforms, lists tours from multiple operators and it's worth checking which company you booked with directly. Our guides are passionate art historians who love the d'Orsay deeply — the colours, the light, the stories behind those extraordinary Impressionist works are genuinely thrilling to share. The museum sets a time limit on guided visits, but we always make sure our guests leave with a real feel for the collection and the freedom to linger and explore afterwards at their own pace. The glowing reviews we receive for this tour reflect just how much our guests love it. We hope you had a wonderful time here in Paris.

Thank you for the lovely review! The d'Orsay really is a spectacular museum — the colours, the light, the stories behind those Impressionist masterpieces — there is so much to discover, and our guides absolutely love sharing it. We're glad you had a great experience and hope to see you again in Paris! We'll share your kind words with your guide Cecile.

Hi Patricia! We sure love to take the amazing collections of the Orsay, and trace what the Impressionists were building on, reacting to and triumphing over. They are also a great springboard for learning about France of the 19th century in a way that makes the country make sense, even in the 21st, especially Paris. Thanks so much for the kind words, it was a pleasure!

Hello Mx Blanken, we are so glad to know that we were able to get you past the lines that can eat into precious vacation time. That is one of our reasons for being certainly. Yet we were sad to have missed you when we had so much fun. A Memories guide is an expert guide, ready to share the collections’ many secrets, secrets that key us also into the mysteries of Parisian culture to this day. We have often been told that we’re the tour company specifically catering to non-tour kinds of people. We are sorry you chose to miss out on that but again, pleased to have been of service!

Hi Joe, we do strive for excellence at Memories, and guides like Fanny come through every time. We particularly love to know that you took the knowledge gained from the tour to go on and make your own favorites through the rest of the amazing Orsay collections! Thanks so much for joining us!
