Go! - Our guide was Liliya G. She was so knowledgeable and led us through the wonderful lives and backstories of the artists. This led to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the works and the influences of the day! So immersive and fascinating. We loved it! Even if you know nothing about art, go, you won’t be disappointed and I bet you come away glad you went! It’s Paris!

For the Love of Art - Anais was a very personable and knowledgeable guide. Her love of art and the impressionists was evident in her curated tour of D’Orsayand helped us develop an understanding of the Impressionists. Although pricey this tour was a highlight of our trip due to Anais’ personalized tour.

Well worth it! So interesting and well organized! - Julien did a fabulous job explaining the historical, political and social context of paintings as well as encouraging them to be viewed through their emotional impact. He had many wonderful stories about the painters lives and relationships. The tour went by so quickly and was incredibly interesting and informative. Well worth it!!

Tour of the Orsay - Iasson T. was a wonderful guide for Musee D'Orsay. He deftly guided six of us through a crowded museum, building the origins of Impressionism by way of what came before, and how key individuals rebelled - and how society received them. We highly recommend him!
