Great guided tour of D’Orsay! - We really enjoyed our guided tour of the D’Orsay Museum with Anthony! He was personable and very interesting. He was so knowledgeable, giving us background information on the artist and the time period, and his particular insights into the sculpture or painting helped us enjoy the museum even more. We would highly recommend this tour!

Beautiful works of art - Our group had a wonderful time touring the Musée d’Orsay—our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the stories behind the art to life in such a captivating way. We learned so much about the Impressionists and the scandalous impact their work had in its time. Be sure to take this tour early in the day; the museum gets very crowded later, and you'll need to be ready to squeeze in for a good view of the more popular masterpieces. Overall, it was a fantastic experience in one of Paris’s most beautiful and beloved museums.

- Marie was a good tour guide. She was knowledgeable and effective at teaching about the impressionist movement, the painters and how the movement evolved by showing examples. She was also patient with our group of various ages in some very crowded settings. Time did not allow us to hear about all the painters represented in the museum,, but we still learned a great deal.

Refund or rebook, please - Because of traffic, I was 5 minutes late and the tour had already left. I managed to get into the museum, and searched the impressionist section, but couldnot find any tour. It was a frustrating experience, not to mention the loss of 80 euros. Please refund or allow a free booking at 2 in the next few days.
