The guide was knowledgeable and approachable. She clearly had a passion for art history and Paris. I learnt lots of new things and the visit was well structured to understand the significance of the impressionist movement, which I appreciated.

Our guide was quite good. He fleshed out the lives of the artists, and knowledgeably taught us about the techniques and materials of the painters

The guide was late at the appiontment. He appeared to have had a wonderful night the night before. He was not inspiring at all, quite routinely led us through the museum.David

Tinu was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We did see many paintings that she provided excellent details that we otherwise would not have seen. Merci
Your guided tour at the Orsay Museum is akin to a trip back in time to Paris's golden age. This was an era that saw the city transform into the axis of Western painting and sculpture, producing some of history's greatest artists in a few decades. Follow your guide and get a brief overview of the history: what led to the birth of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, and the revolutionary techniques in the 19th and early 20th centuries that changed what art means forever.
The museum is a must-visit if you want to see masterpieces such as Van Gogh, Renoir, and Manet, as well as the unique dots of Georges Seurat’s pointillism. If you get close enough, you can even feel the airiness of Monet's impressions! Your tour will be enhanced further thanks to the amazing commentary by your expert English-speaking guide. They will take you through the best path of the collection so you can observe the most famous works of art and sprinkle your journey with tales about the artists. Learn about how Van Gogh lived and died, and envisioned life in the Belle Époque ('beautiful era').
Optional outdoor guided walking tour along the Seine
Embark on a wholesome walking tour with a guide by your side that covers the history, highlights, architecture, and so much more of the Seine bridges and sights. Begin your tour at the Henri IV statue in the middle of the Pont Neuf, the first Parisian bridge built in stone. You can gain insight into a significant aspect of Paris's identity by hearing the tales of the two very different sides, the Rive Droite and the Rive Gauche, at the Pont du Carrousel and Pont Royal. A well-known landmark on the northern bank is the Louvre itself, which you will also see!
