Musée d'Orsay Family Tours

Nadia was a great tour guide who knew just what to show us. She also had a great grasp of the details and history of the art, the artists and the relevant periods. Tres Bien!

We thoroughly enjoyed this museum. The pieces were beautiful and our guide was great. We did the tour with the gourmet meal which is a big jump in price from the package that is just the tour. The pro for the meal was that you get to skip the long line, and after the tour, you do need to rest your feet, and also the restaurant was very beautiful. The con is that it was not very good food and for what it costs, I was very underwhelmed. Also, we had to order from a fixed menu, while we saw other dishes that looked far more appetizing. If I visited the Orsay again, I would do the tour, but skip the meal.

Raphaelle is very knowledgeable and engaging. She gave us an amazing understanding in a brief time and made it interesting.

Our tour was excellent. Caroline was our tour guide with Memories DMC and she was excellent. She was enthusiastic, passionate, and knowledgeable. It was really interesting to hear backstories to works of art that were politically controversial at that time of history. I was really impressed on how she could teach us about the various schools of art. In the d'Orsay museum the pieces that are being shown are constantly changing so it is really impressive that she can go with the flow when the art changes in location and other works pop up - it really shows her knowledge base. I would definitely recommend this tour and was lucky to end up with Caroline!

Felix may be the best docent who I have ever toured with. I learned a lot during this tour. He bought us a delicious lunch as well and was a pleasure to talk to.

Slight confusion about the tickets (partly our fault) so could not get seats on the open upper deck, instead found very comfortable seats on the lower deck. Very enjoyable cruise!! But wish the seats were slightly more comfortable! Wooden seats are not very convenient for older travellers!!!

My family and (3 people) joined this tour in Dec 2022. Booked online, went to the banks of the Seine opposite the Eiffel Tower, then embarked on an exciting journey, seeing parts of Paris by river. Since we left just before sunset, Paris with the lights on and the Eiffel Tower looking golden, were truly the unforgettable sights.

Great tour and I learnt so much. Arrie was knowledgeable on the various paintings. Really takes you through the highlights of the museum. I was late but the local operator number I called was very helpful and I managed to get into the museum and find the group.

Wonderful way to see some major sights in Paris! The boat was large and had ample upstairs (outdoor) and downstairs seating. The huge glass windows inside made it easy to see what you were looking at. Because the cruise is for anyone who gets a ticket, they have these little phones (downstairs) that you can program to your language to listen to information about the sights. Overall I'd recommend!

they were super nice and the time flew by. If you sit on the deck you wont have the audioguide but if you sit downstares there will be enough guide-phones for everyone. One of the workers kept informing the entire boat (the deck too) whenever we were passing bye an important sight, to make aure we wouldn't miss it. It was great!

We had an amazing experience at this cruise!! Well organized and easy to find the meet point. It was aamazing to see the buldings and the bridges from th boat. We took the boat at 16:30, so we had the opportunity to see Paris before getting dark and at the end of the cruise the lights of Eiffel tower!

Our delightful guide was prompt, pleasant and very considerate. He was interesting and articulate. He had a well-considered plan for the tour of this great museum so that we could grasp the topic in a way that makes it possible to remember it. We definitely left with a greater knowledge of artists from late 19th century France than when we arrived. All-in-all, our tour was a wonderful experience and my husband and I consider this time and money very well-spent.

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!

Lucineia was fabulous! So informative and made the museum very interesting for my 8 yr old daughter. In fact, Zoe said this was one of her favorite things she did in Paris!

Very easy to book and a great price. The crepe shop was easy to find and delicious - you can choose from sugar or Nutella and can’t pay for additional toppings. It’s just a short walk across the road to the boat. The tour was great, just the right amount of time to see major sights helped by the fact that despite it being August there weren’t many people on board so we had plenty of room and the weather was glorious.. You’ll need headphones as commentary is through your phone so this won’t suit everyone. Great value for money and highly recommended.

This has been the second time we have had a guided tour of Musee D’Orsay. While both were highly focused on detail and very informative, Jessica had a unique approach and depth that was well focused and meaningful.

This was a great way to see some of the beautiful sights of Paris, but in order to hear the guided portion you have to be inside the boat on the main level rather than up top on the outside seats. This meant choosing between having a closer open air view of the city or knowing what I was actually looking at. I would still go on this river cruise again but would have liked to know this ahead of time.

Didn’t have to queue for very long and once all onboard we got going. Great way to see many beautiful buildings, the architecture is outstanding. We were lucky with the weather so sat out on the top deck, it was abit of a squeeze as the boat was very busy. It was definitely worth booking ahead. Would do this trip again shoukd I come back to Paris.

Daniel was a perfect guide with his vast knowledge of art. He was, by far, the best guide I have ever had. We had a great time!!

We went on a Mon and was told it was closed for private event and told to come back next day. The cruise was much bigger than expected. Most people went to the upper deck to catch the views outside but soon, most came down to the lower deck which was warmer since now is winter. Value for money considering is an-hour cruise ride. Just relax and enjoy and scenery.

Good tour. Guide was on-time, meeting location easy to find. Group entry allowed us to avoid a long line for general admission. Guide gave understandable explanations, good for new to intermediate level of prior knowledge of impressionism. Meal in the museum's restaurant was enjoyable and convenient.

Excellent visit, an exceptional, cultured guide whose very didactic and progressive approach fascinated us. A real good time with a guide far superior to those we have had on other occasions. For a first with Your application, you have made us loyal! Thanks again Boris!

Very good guide . She gave good info , showed us the highlights of the museum . Unfortunately it seems that by the museum' s rules the visitors can not keep the audio devices used by the guide for more than 1 hr and 30 min so we had to return the devices before we finished the tour of the museum

The guide was pretty good. I recommend sticking with a group of six or smaller, as it can be hard to hear the guide and walk around in a larger group. The guide was friendly, but I wish she went into more detail about the history or technique behind certain paintings. The museum itself is wonderful and definitely worth exploring.
