Our guide, Emmanuel, was very knowledgeable and gave us an insight into the evolution of artistic expression. He walked us through the different periods of artistic development, relating them to revolutionary periods in history. We appreciated him!
Florence was an amazing guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about the museum, its history as well as the the various artists and the works that are on display. It’s an absolute mess if you are in Paris and me and my wife highly recommend it!
A brilliant time at Orsay! I took two tours with Alberto and they were both great but this was the best - Orsay is beautiful and to be taken around by somebody so knowledgeable really made it special.
What a day ! Museum was ceowded but our guide was leadind us lije it was his own house. We all have been delighted by the magic of those impressionist. 5 stars !
Johanna the guide was wonderful! We would have never discovered so many paintings and learned so much about this museum if we had nöt done this tour with our lovely guide.
Our tour with Johanna was very interesting. We saw paintings by Van Gogh and Renoir and other famous artists. Its the best way to discover this beautiful museum.
We took the tour with my wife and were really happy with the experience. Our tour guide (his name was Daniel, if I remember correctly) was really funny and was able to produce an amazing amount of details about the history of the pieces on the exhibit. We had no previous experience of Orsay museum and the guided tour really helped us to get much more out of the visit.
Amazing tour given by a knowledgeable guide! It was relatable, fun and very informative! We had a great time
The tour was fantastic! Our guide (Alberto) had a really fun vibe and everyone enjoyed themselves. We saw paintings by Van Gogh and other important artists. We learned the whole history of the museum and were guided through all the amazing halls. He even showed us some hidden gems I’m sure we would have missed. Highly recommended!
We loved this Museum, the guide showed us the most important highlights of this old train station turned into art museum and talked about very important artists that used to live in Paris like Renoir. Our guide recommended a wine tasting so we decided to book it!
