A fun tour at Orsay museum - We took the tour with my wife and were really happy with the experience. Our tour guide (his name was Daniel, if I remember correctly) was really funny and was able to produce an amazing amount of details about the history of the pieces on the exhibit. We had no previous experience of Orsay museum and the guided tour really helped us to get much more out of the visit.

Highly Recommended! - The tour was fantastic! Our guide (Alberto) had a really fun vibe and everyone enjoyed themselves. We saw paintings by Van Gogh and other important artists. We learned the whole history of the museum and were guided through all the amazing halls. He even showed us some hidden gems I’m sure we would have missed. Highly recommended!

Excellent - We loved this Museum, the guide showed us the most important highlights of this old train station turned into art museum and talked about very important artists that used to live in Paris like Renoir. Our guide recommended a wine tasting so we decided to book it!

Nice and funny tour of Orsay - We first booked a tour to the Louvre through this guide, and because it went so well, we decided to visit Orsay with the same guide. Very energetic and funny, we really had a good time, and were able to appreciate history and its anecdotes through a humoristic and fresh lense.
