Nice time in the museum ! - Adrienne was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable, and put you in the moment to enjoy each of the art more and understand it. Very friendly and professional. Group was only 5 people, so it was very nice. Museum was a beautiful and art was nice. Would suggest to start on upper floors first and then work your way down.

Well worth the money - She gave a fantastic overview of who the Impressionists were, and placed them in the context of their art world. Her comments deepened the experience of both the paintings and the museum itself.

Our semi-private tour of... - Our semi-private tour of the Musée ď Orsay with Cecile B. was excellent. Cecile's expressive presentation of the individual paintings and the changes across the different periods of art was awesome, and her knowledge of art history truly allowed us to learn and enjoy the works even more. Thank you to Cecile for a great tour.
