What To Expect
Musee d'Orsay
Paris’ other must-see museum, the Musée d’Orsay, is the perfect complement to the Louvre. This family-friendly private tour lets you explore the museum’s stunning Beaux-Arts architecture with a dedicated guide and skip-the-line admission. Inside, journey through the artistic movements that led to Impressionism and its vibrant masterpieces. Discover Manet’s Luncheon on the Grass and Renoir’s Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette. Learn about artists who influenced the Impressionists, like Millet with The Gleaners, and those who followed, such as Van Gogh with his Bedroom in Arles. Of course, no visit is complete without seeing works by Claude Monet, the father of Impressionism, including his famous Poppies. Your guide will bring the stories behind the paintings to life, making art history engaging for all ages. By the end of your tour, you’ll have explored both famous highlights and hidden gems while admiring the museum’s breathtaking architecture.

5.00Sunday was our guide & she did a wonderful in-depth tour of the Musée d’Orsay. She really explained the paintings & how the styles evolved from the Renaissance painters to the Impressionist movement. She engaged us to think about the way the paintings were painted & then explained how they were originally received in the French Salons during their respective eras. I found Sunday to be very knowledgeable, entertaining & enthusiastic during the entire tour. I highly recommend booking this tour!!

5.00We loved our Musee D'Orsay tour with Ivana. She provided a master class in the evolution of art - to and through the impressionist era. Ivana was very engaging and knowledgable. She was so good, she managed to capture the attention of my seemingly emotionless 20 year old step son. An impressive feat! Thank you, Ivana!

Great Art History review for the layman

5.00Marcel made this most memorable starting with a "skip the line" easy access into the museum. Great education on the early 19th century and transitioning to the early 20th century with the Impressionists. Understanding how society of the time viewed what was good and acceptable vs. what was forward thinking with the coming of a much different view by the young impressionists. Very interesting and thought provoking.
