Musee d'Orsay Private Tour
Jim Bobbie P
, Oct 2019
Our guide, Daniel, was excellent. Very, very knowledgeable of the museum and art. We enjoyed his presentation and learned a lot. He covered the museum quite well and left us time to browse by ourselves. Overall we thought it exceeded our expectations.

Private Tour of Musee d'Orsay

, Oct 2019
While we had a pleasant ,and informative guide she seemed to be in a rush. My elder mother and I were rushing around to keep up with her....until we just had to walk at our own pace. Additionally, the description states a 2-2.5hr tour and we were finished in 2hrs flat...as if it was a race. So while the idea of this tour sounds great, buyer beware.

Best museum in Paris!!!
Aisha R
, May 2019
Best museum in Paris!!! Our guide was awesome! She was so knowledgeable and patient. She had a great personality and seemed to love what she does! We chose the semi-private tour. It was a very good idea. Although, I would suggest giving yourself 2 days to view everything that you would like to see in the museum. The guide only takes you through certain exhibits. If there are particular ones you’d like to see, you may not get a chance until the end of the tour when you’re already tired form walking though the museum.

This was the biggest surprise of all and again the guide made it very special. Alex not only spoke flawless English but was extremely knowledgeable about art and the museum.. He even kept my husband interested and that's not easy when it comes to art. I would say that anyone who is going to do a once in a lifetime tour use these private tours and tour guides. We have done self guided tours with the recorded devices but they can't compare to these tours.

Susan W
, Jul 2017
Our guide made the Orsay come alive! She spoke excellent English and was very mindful of expressing content appropriate for a 19 year old among us. She knew her art history and you could tell that she loved her job and the art. She shared wonderful stories and factual information about the paintings. She made the art come alive with her knowledge. She was helpful with suggestions after the tour, also. Thank you for a delightful tour?

We had two great guides our group of 6 was split into two, one of whom was also our guide during our earlier day-long walking tour of Paris Louvre, Ljiljana apologies if I have the spelling wrong. We enjoyed both of our guides and my parents, who had Ljiljana as a guide at the Orsay as well as the Louvre said that she was absolutely amazing. I was very happy that she was their guide. A big thank you from my parents, Ljiljana!

Wir hatten eine fantastische Führung mit Marcel, der nicht müde wurde all unsere Fragen zu beantworten und uns mit seinem Wissen beeindruckte. Wir hatten das große Glück, dass Marcel uns am gleichen Tag im Louvre führte. Seine Professionalität wurde nur noch von seiner freundlichen Art im Umgang mit unserer Gruppe übertroffen. Bei unserem nächsten Besuch in Paris ist eine Aktivität mit Marcel bereits fest eingeplant.
