Musée d'Orsay Tours & Tickets

Tina was an extremely wonderful tour guide. I went on a tour with 3 others on a Sunday morning, and this small group was perfect. Tina was very knowledgeable about art history but presented the tour in a way that allowed us to learn about the pieces in the context of French history and the changing culture of art. I would highly recommend it to others.

If you are a planner like I am, then this is an ideal way to prepare for a special trip to Paris. The location to get your passes is a short walk from the Louvre, the staff inside is professional and friendly, and we opted to do the Seine River cruise to gain a different perspective of the wonderful city of Paris. Make sure you make a reservation for the Louvre after you purchase your passes to secure your entry!

Skip the line is the way to go to access miser d’orsay. However it was still a little crowded inside. I nonetheless, it made entering with reluctant teenagers much easier. We went straight to the impressionists, and loved being in the gorgeous space. Stayed 1.5 hours.

Everything was perfect. There were a lot of people on the upper deck but just managed to find 2 seats. You have to have experienced it. Left at 8pm and it was perfect. Then another crêpe that not only tasted great but was also very nutritious. So deserves 5 stars.

With the background of our guide Lily,our tour was spent connnecting art to the political and cultural events of the time period. Lily was extremely well educated in art history and we were able to appreciate the art we saw and understand how it fit in with the time period. This tour was definitely the highlight of our time in Paris!!!

It was a unique experience. It's the first time I'm visiting Paris, so I didn't stay too long, I combined the cruise on the Seine and pancake tasting with a visit to the Eiffel Tower both during the day and at night. between these activities we also visited other tourist attractions such as: Sacre Coeur, Pere Lachaise Cemetery.

Our tour guide, Melissa (could be spelling wrong), was the best in France! We considered going back again just for her. The way she connected us to the material, walked us through the progressions of styles chronologically, and the light hearted approach she took was fantastic. Truly a kind, thoughtful guide, 5 stars!

Our guide greeted us at the appointed place (and waited the 20 minutes we were late due to bad traffic) and then skillfully and joyfully guided us through the Musee d'Orsay with wit and humor. She made the artwork come alive and we felt that we really learned a lot. We were able to focus on important sample works while not toiling through every single piece of art. That way we got through the entire museum in 2 hours which was about all we could last for. It was totally worth the money! Fantastic.

I only had time for one gallery in Paris and chose Musee d’Orsay, which did not disappoint. I was able to skip the main queue and waited only 5 minutes in the security queue. Make sure to ask an attendant which queue as the pass I had downloaded was suggesting the longest queue. I would also recommend pre-booking audio guide if possible as I was one of the last to receive one before they ran out (late morning). I walked the sculptures, level 2 and level 5. The rooms on level 2 were my favourite with focussed on Corbet, Manet & Millet. Floor 5 had some of the more known iconic artworks but was very crowded with people more interested in taking photos than viewing art. Bathrooms were well kept however I didn’t see any places to fill up my water bottle.

Great experience definitely suggest getting the skip the line tickets. It’s a beautiful museum but they don’t have all the Van Gogh’s right now, some are on loan. The only issue is getting a “flow” as you go through, it’s not exceptionally organized. May be better with an audio guide.

First visit back to Paris - and MdO - since Covid. Worth planning two days - but never do. One side or the other downstairs. Quick pre-lunch walk through the Impressionists on the top floor before the iconic restaurant. And then re-explore the Impressionists - Monet, Pissarro, Cezanne etc and then the Post Impressionists - Van Gogh, Gaugin. Was all set to leave at 3.30pm and sprint round the Orangerie but was way-payed by the Gaudi exhibition. Outstanding.

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

Quick purchase. Precise info. Once at the museum we queued for 5 minutes at the priority entrance. In the afternoon arrived at pier 3 we immediately went up for the cruise on the Seine. Recommended!!!

Good pass generally but it’s not possible to cover even half the sites in a few days so careful consideration needed as to how many sites you can cover during your trip, what they add up to and whether this pass will actually be cheaper by end of your trip.

It was absolutely amazing! We learned so much from our tour guid, Romain. He walked us threw time and he was able to give inside tips that maximized our time at each museum. We never felt rushed yet we were constantly on the move, which was perfect for our family with 2 teens.

Anya was fabulous! Very knowledgeable, of course, but tied together so many aspects of the art, the societal implications and influences, historical influences, aristocracy vs bourgeois, the artists idiosyncrasies, and more. Very personable and interactive...not just standing there lecturing. Very pleasant personality and charming as well. Highly recommend her to anyone from those with little knowledge of the art to those more sophisticated.
