Details
A treasure trove of French art awaits you when you enter the stunning Beaux Arts structure of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
Housed in a previous rail route station, the exhibition hall contains one of the world's best assortments of Impressionist and Post-Impressionist workmanship. Take advantage of a semi-private tour with expert commentary from a guide who will not only introduce you to the works of art but also to the masters who created them.
Learn about a once-in-a-lifetime era in art history and how it was met with harsh criticism. Check out how painters like Claude Monet radically altered our perspective on the world. Many of the museum's most well-known pieces were created in Paris and depict scenes from all over France, providing a visual history of the country.
Admire Van Gogh's eminent "Starry Night over the Rhône" and Renoir's masterpiece "Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette," which depicts a typical Sunday afternoon in the Montmartre neighborhood of Paris. Find features by Cezanne, Manet, Degas, and considerably more.

Angèle J.
Our guide provided a wonderfully coherent overview to the Musee d Orsay. She was very knowledgable and conveyed her comments on each painting with insight and clarity. She was constantly aware of the group and encouraged and answered questions fully. She did a wonderful job and is a credit to your organization.

This made the museum more interesting to me, to learn about the paintings and the artists, and the history of the impressionist movement. Our guide was very informative and obviously cared about what he was describing. A good way to see the the highlights of the museum, and then we had time afterwards to stay as long as we looked and see more. Highly recommended!

The best tour guide! Wish we could have him again - funny, knowledgeable, patient, and maximized our time in the museum and then some. It was like a crash course (or refresher) in art history, but interest and accessible for everyone. Can’t say enough about it - do it!

Took the tour on September 29th. Loved the experience. We were a small group of 5 people, which made it even better. Our guide was very knowledgeable and her passion for art was evident in her narrative. Learnt a lot about impressionism and neo-impressionism. Two hours is definitely not enough to cover such a vast topic and all the treasures at d'Orsay - but I would have been quite lost and missed important pieces if I hadn't taken this tour. Definitely recommended!

This guided tour started really well when our guide, Claire, skipped the line with our group and we went right in at 9:30am. I like that she started the tour promptly. Claire gave an excellent review of the French painting from the mid 1800s to the First World War. This museum is beautiful and much easier to navigate with a knowledgeable guide

I don't remember the name of the tour guide sadly ( I know it was the lady from East Europe who grew up in Florida ) and she was just fabulous. She made it really interactive and interesting for all ages and even for people who did not know much such as my young daughter. Thank you very much for such a memorable experience
