Vist Musee D'Orsay! - Musee D'Orsay was one of the highlights of our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed the museum and our guide, Stephanie. I really enjoyed her approach to the tour and explaining the artistic movements and transition to impressionism. It wasn't the best day to visit - the Louvre is closed on Tuesdays so there's a bigger crowd at Orsay and it was the opening of a new exhibit. Despite the crowd, we didn't have to wait and Stephanie gave an excellent tour. We had our 8 year old and 10 year old with us and they also enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend!

Perfect narrative paired with incredible art! - Our guide painted the perfect story of the impressionists throughout the tour! Skip the line was so nice (saved about 30 - 45 min), and the narrative was helpful to tie in the historical importance and background for these great painters. I could have seen the great works of art myself, but this tour provided critical context. Highly recommend.

Worthwhile experience - The tour director was excellent. She deftly moved her group of 20 throughout the museum despite large crowded rooms. She was very knowledgeable about the artist and historical context for painting and sculptures.

Lovely museum: prepare for crowds! - Our guide was great. But the museum was super crowded which was surprising for March so we felt rather rushed and really could not appreciate this amazing museum. Our guide did the best she could as this was totally out of her control. She seemed frustrated as well. Again nothing to complain about our tour just the circumstances of such a huge crowd during what I would have thought would have been less popular season.
