No doubt, the guide makes the tour. And we were lucky to get Manuel as our guide. He absolutely knows his stuff but what made the tour special was his passion for art and Paris. I have been to this museum a couple of times prior and never enjoyed it so much.
Fabulous tour of Orsay

What can be said about perfection? This museum is one of the finest I’ve ever been to… From the incredible collections to the atmosphere of the old train station. It is art with an art. I enjoy this so much more than the Louvre!

Avi was knowledgeable about the content and he not only told us the history of the paintings, but we learned about the lives of the artist. Avi was funny and made the content approachable and easy to understand. It was one of the best tours I have experienced.

We had an incredible experience with Avi during our tour at the Musée d’Orsay. His passion for art and deep knowledge of history brought every painting to life — it felt like we were stepping into the artists’ stories. Avi was warm, engaging, and made complex ideas easy to understand. He also tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, which made the whole experience personal and memorable. Highly recommend Avi to anyone who wants to experience the museum beyond the surface.
