Pierre was an excellent knowledgeable and engaging guide. He navigated the Orsay with no wait time adding insight to the evolution of the Impressionists and modern art.

Anastasia was a delight! She was very informative and her excitement about art came through in her descriptions of each piece.

Hugo gave us some great information, extensive knowledge on all the pieces. He provided great insight beyond just a name and when but terrific background information on the artist the period of time in the particular paintings we saw. Although we booked 2 1/2 hours because of his upbeat and fast pace style, who went by very quickly

Our guide was very knowledgeable and interesting. The small group makes it easy to see, hear, and ask questions. Would highly recommend.

We got lucky and were the only two on our small group tour. Our guide, Paloma was excellent! She contacted us before the tour with a description of what she was wearing, met us a few minutes early and already had a locker reserved for us to store coats, etc. We started with a history of the train station and why it was built. She gave us background into how paintings were selected to appear in the salon sales, what criteria they had to meet and how the impression movement started. It’s been a long time since I’ve had art history and Paloma brought all the pieces together. Her knowledge and enthusiasm were superb! I would definitely recommend her to anyone that ask.

Anastasia provided an excellent tour of the Musée D’Orsay museum. The previous day, I had gone with a friend for a cursory 1.5 hour tour. This 2.5 hour tour was better and was at the same time broader (Courbet) and deeper, with more stories and comparisons about the artists. If I had more time in the city, I would have joined her for other tours in the city. Truly a gem!!

It's a smaller group as promised for sure, but the quality of tour was actually okkk, so i'd rather sign up for a bigger group and listen through audio

Ivanna was an incredible tour guide with so much knowledge! It was great having a small group so you could hear and Ivanna could a little bit customize the tour. Highly, highly recommended this especially if you get Ivanna

On a crowded rainy day, our guide Ty was awesome. He got us through lines quickly and efficiently. He took the time at the end to get us to the part of the Louvre we wanted to see next.
