Amazing tour, great experience, learned so much. Very helpful. Guide was great, really learned a lot on this tour, including interesting details about the art and artists. Museum is very crowded as it expected so be prepared for large crowds and so my advice for travelers is to not be by the crowds, but you definitely need a guide for a museum like this
Wonderful tour

Great guide is needed, the museum speaks for itself - the guide makes the experience memorable particularly if there is a large crowd, can direct you to the important pieces.
Interesting and insightful guide

Antoine was brilliantly insightful and interesting, I do not believe you would have to be an art lover or knowledgeable in Impressionism to enjoy this tour.
Heads up!
