    Our guided tour of the Musée d'Orsay made us appreciate art -- and art history -- in a whole new way. It was, without a doubt, the best museum tour we have ever done and worth every single penny. The biggest reason this tour is so special is the small group size. With a maximum of six people, it feels less like a tour and more like you're exploring the museum with a very knowledgeable and passionate friend. You can actually ask questions, hear every fascinating story, and you never feel rushed or lost in a crowd. It's a total game-changer compared to the big, impersonal tours. And our guide, Liliya, was simply brilliant. She wasn't just an art expert; she was a fantastic storyteller who genuinely loves what she does. Liliya brought the paintings to life by sharing the incredible stories behind the art—the scandals, the rivalries, and the artists' personal lives. She made everything so clear and engaging, even for those of us who aren't art history buffs. We saw masterpieces by Monet, Van Gogh, and Degas, and thanks to Liliya, we understood them in a whole new way. We left with a genuine appreciation for the art, not just a bunch of photos. The museum itself is huge and can be overwhelming, but this tour made it completely stress-free. Liliya navigated us straight to the most important pieces, so we knew we were seeing the best of the best without wasting any time. She managed the pace perfectly and made sure everyone in our small group felt included and could follow along easily. Honestly, this tour transforms a museum visit from something that could be tiring into an unforgettable, fun, and fascinating experience. Especially with a guide like Liliya, we cannot recommend it highly enough!
