Tour d'Orsay do Museu d'Orsay

We each came in with at least a base in Impressionism, but we all learned a lot more -- about the artist, the era, the role of the industrial revolution, the connections between artists and their subjects. That woman is named at the picnic with the two guys for a reason, and now we know. Marie was conversational, beer pedantic and pleasant to spend a tour with.

Marie gave us the most excellent 90 min tour of the history of Impressionism. She shared her knowledge with a delightful passion of the Arts . Without her guidance and knowledge we would have been lost in Musee d'!Orsay . We highly recommend this most affordable tour...

Loved our guide! Perfect amount of storytelling, transition from pre-Impressionism to post bringing to light what was noteworthy about each famous painter, the stage etc - couldn’t be happier with Julien’s tour

The tour’s description didn’t mention that the ticket price was not included. It wasn’t until I read the fine print, I realized you then have to pay museum admission fees, on top of her personal fees. The tour guide also required we pay an additional fee for headphones, yet she made us give them back at the end of the tour. We also found out, private tours are prohibited on Sundays, yet this guide was still booking “tours”. We had museum officials come up to our tour guide directly asking her to stop or leave the premises. After arguing, she refused and continued on our tour, leaving us feeling very uncomfortable. The tour focused more on the guide’s personal interpretation of the artwork, frequently forgetting to even tell us the title of piece. Our group was looking more for facts, stories, and fun tidbits of information regarding the era, artist, etc. You will not receive any of this on this tour. A lot of incredibly famous and influential impressionist pieces were overlooked and we were not given the option to dictate what we were interested in spending time looking at, not we’re we asked

We love the d'Orsay, and had a wonderful tour. Just the four of us and our knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend

This was the tour that excited us most when we were planning our three days in Paris. We were at the museum at 10:15 am as directed, and when I checked my emails to make sure we were to meet at the rhinoceros statue, I found an email sent at 1:09am that the guide had to cancel and that they could not find another guide. This was our last day in Paris, and we were very disappointed. A text notification would have been much better, as I only checked my emails to verify location. We could have stood there forever. Surely the tour company could have attached us to another of their tours. Since this was our last day in Paris, we took the $6 tour offered by the museum. Fortunately, it was excellent.

David made our Musee d'Orsay visit a wonderful experience - knowledgeable, friendly, easy-going, responsive, and professional, and respectful of the history of the former train station. It was our travel-mates' first d'Orsay visit, and David made sure they received a combination of history and details of the paintings and artists. David let us move at our own pace, pausing frequently to absorb a favorite. We tried to have David replace our planned Viator guide the next day for the Louvre, but it didn't work out, much to our regret.. On our next Paris visit we will insist upon David as our guide. 5 stars for David!

This tour moves quickly through the Museum with a very knowledgeable guide who hits the highlights. Had we known the museum closing time, we would probably not chosen this time for our tour as it did not leave us time to see other things at the museum. This is a tour not to be missed!

We had a private 1.5 hr tour that was excellent. Our guide was prompt, walked quickly thru the crowd, organized and very informative plus very pleasant and adaptive to our interest.

This has always been my favorite museum to visit in Paris...and this 1.5 hour tour only served to elevate the museum and its offerings in my view! We walked right to the front of the line when the museum opened so very few crowds to start! and the guide took us on a chronological historical path of the emergence of impressionism. My husband, less a fan of this style, said this was one of his top 3 museum tours he has ever done...the guide was that good at engaging both of us! Highly recommend!
