Don't miss this tour! - Our guide was outstanding! He explained the meaning of the art at the Museum, the hidden messages. It was such a treat to see the painting thru his eyes, and thus to understand them more. The tour of Montmartre was also very much enjoyed. Such a wonderful area rich with history. Our guide, again, was so helpful. He found a restaurant for us that our daughter could eat at, she is gluten intolerant. He gave us tips on how to spot scams (fake taxi drivers who charge 10X more than a regular fare, avoid people wanting you to sign a petition as they are trying to steal your wallet, etc.). Montmartre was such a good shopping area for affordable souvenirs. Great food! Again... a wonderful guild.

Great tour! - Great tour with Nancy! She was very informative. Super flexible with the walking part of the tour when we encountered snow in the Montmarte. She really made the artwork and artists come to life. Definitely 5 star.

Bel is a great tour guide, an educator of art history who tells it as it is with a sense of humor. Love her! ❤️ - Bel (Belen), our guide shared her insight of the artworks and artists through the ages and techniques. Focusing on key artworks, and the history of the Orsay museum, which was a great overview. Was at a good pace. The Orsay had so much to see that it is not possible to see everything on the tour. Bel had a great sense of humor, which made the tour fun and not just insightful. Definitely a historian who knows her stuff. There were only 4 people in our tour (6 max) which was perfect for us to move around easily and hear her speak, compared to the large groups we saw. I highly recommend Bel.

Beautiful Museum, Excellent Guide - A beautifully curated museum, and Hugo’s excellent and eloquent tour infused meaning into every moment. He contextualized the narrative of the art and history as we experienced it with biography, analysis of technique, and impact and influence. Would highly, highly recommend.

Great introduction to the Musee D'Orsay - This tour, conducted by our guide Sunday, was a wonderful way to be introduced to the Musee D'Orsay, which is a very large museum with an amazing collection of art and sculpture. With great enthusiasm and knowledge, she gave us a taste of the breadth of the museum's art, as well as the architecture and historical context of the times and artists. We liked the semi-private format because it allowed for us to ask questions more easily. We definitely will return to enjoy more of the what the museum has to offer.
