Musée d'Orsay Family Tours

An enjoyable and informative tour. A fantastic way to get a feel for the art, the museum and the history associated with both. About the right length too, not too short or long, and left us with the opportunity to explore more at the end of the tour.

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.

The specified 20 minutes that you should be there before the desired date are by no means sufficient in the high season. We queued 1 1/2 hours before it was our turn. The comments can hardly be understood in some places on deck. You should be aware that this is a mass processing. Still well organized.

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!

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.

Well worth it for the time saved queuing and the personal service from the guide. She spoke good English, which is not always the case on these tours, and made up for quite an anxious, breathy delivery with good knowledge and obvious love of the artwork.

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 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.
