It’s very professional, not rushed, very informational, it’s great that you have the option to do a guided tour with six or less people.
Daniel did an amazing job. He was very knowledgeable and entertaining!
Hugo L. gave an outstanding tour of the Rodin Museum. He was enthusiastic, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about art history. His storytelling really brought the museum to life, with fascinating details and context that made the sculptures even more meaningful. What stood out most was how he connected everything with great stories and insights that kept us fully interested the entire time. I was there with my 15-year-old and a friend, and Hugo did a fantastic job making the tour accessible and engaging for all of us. We both learned a lot and genuinely enjoyed the experience. I would highly recommend Hugo L. to anyone visiting the Rodin Museum!
From coordination, to friendliness, and to knowledge of the museum exhibits, our guide Anatole was top notch! His knowledge of the details around each piece was impressive and he answered all our questions.
After nearly 30 years using Viator this was our first unsatisfactory experience. The tour guide was not very friendly. And while there were only three of us on the visit she did not make any effort to keep us together and kept constantly repeating herself and telling us how many minutes we had left.
Sunday was amazing! She had an excellent understanding of the history of Rodin and his works. I would book another tour with her! I highly recommend.
Semi private tour became private due to our lucky timing of our trip. Bel was amazing. Easy going and pleasant and extremely knowledgeable. By the end of the tour we thought we’d earned diplomas from the vast art history education she shared with us. She was very flexible and really clued us into the truly valuable sculptures, their background, their meaning. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Incredible experience. Julian was very knowledgeable about Rodin's life and he himself was very charming and humorous. Great job Julian.
This was an excellent in depth tour. Our guide Dunya was extremely knowledgeable and therefore added such dimension to the artist and the man that was Rodin. Without her expertise, the tour would not have been nearly as multidimensional or insightful as it was.
Malaika was an excellent guide. She provided interesting anecdotes & answered all of our questions. It’s clear that she enjoys serving as a guide.
