Wonderful and knowledgeable tour of the Orsay Museum - What would we have done without Claire (hope I spelled her name correctly!) - she led us through the busy Orsay Museum expertly and tried her best to explain Pre-Impressionist, Impressionist, Post-Expressionist, etc. works to us, which is no easy feat! I must confess that I only had basic knowledge of the various artists of those periods, but gained a much deeper understanding after the tour with Claire. Modern art, especially styles such as surrealism and cubism, can be so difficult for the non-art experts, but Claire was engaging and concise and and made it easier to appreciate the art. Even my elderly parents, who aren't well-versed in modern art at all, said that they came away knowing lot more. So for anyone who wants an excellent introduction to the Orsay Museum and modern art, Claire is the guide you wish to have.

Great tour for those who want true highlights of D'Orsay - I like art very much, but I do not have any educational background in art history or technique. This was a great tour with highlights of the museum. I really appreciated Claire's humor and her knowledge of the art. It was also nice that the tour ended inside the museum. My partner and I continued to walk around after the tour. I would definitely recommend this if you want something within 1.5 - 2 hrs and don't have an already in depth knowledge of impressionist art.

Best visit to Musee D’Orsay ever! - Our tour guide was amazing. She had a great personality, incredibly knowledgeable and taught us so much about the impressionist movement, the artists and the back stories behind many of the works. She was engaging, answering all of our questions and sharing her own thoughts and knowledge with us. This small group experience changed the way I look at art. She was well organized and made the 2 hour trip through the museum go pleasantly quickly. Well worth the price! After completing the tour, we could visit the rest of the museum on our own. The Rodin sculptures are not to be missed.

Revisit - Wonderfull collection of impressionists My guided tour with Claire was very helpful. I am planning a painting trip on the seine and Oise in September to paint where the impressionists painted. With the help of my guide Claire I was able to locate several paintings in the area where we wish to paint.
