Must See Tour! - The guided tour of the Louvre and Musee D’Orsay was amazing! Our guide Marcel was great. He guided us through the exhibits very smoothly. It was a busy day with a packed crowd, but being part of this tour enabled us to see all of the different parts in a very efficient manner. Seeing both the Louvre and Musee D’Orsay on the same day ensured we made the most of our very short time in Paris. This was our first time in Paris and Marcel gave us great tips on what to see, what to skip, where to eat and how to navigate the city. Thank you so much Marcel!!

A must! - I highly recommend this tour. It is a must if you are a first time visitor or want a better understanding about the artwork. We were especially grateful to Florent for his extensive art knowledge, English fluency and wonderful personality. Initially, I was skeptical about touring both museums in one day, but with Florent, we were able to see the quite a bit. It was my first trip to France. As an American I can’t encourage you enough to consider this tour. A knowledgeable, passionate, English fluent guide like Florent is essential to your visit. I guarantee you will be very pleased.

A Wonderful Guide - Marcel at the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay - A Wonderful Guide - Marcel at the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay I had the pleasure of touring both the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay with Marcel as our guide, and it was an unforgettable experience. Marcel's deep knowledge of art history and his passion for sharing stories behind the masterpieces truly brought the museums to life. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, but Marcel was also personable, engaging, and attentive to the interests of everyone in our group. He had a knack for weaving fascinating details about the artists and the historical context into his explanations, making the art feel accessible and vibrant. His patience and ability to answer all our questions with enthusiasm made the experience both educational and enjoyable. What set Marcel apart was his warmth and charm. He had a way of connecting with each person, making sure we felt engaged and included throughout the tour. Whether highlighting iconic works like the Mona Lisa or uncovering hidden gems in the galleries, Marcel made the day an enriching adventure that I’ll treasure. If you're looking for a guide who can turn a visit to two of Paris’s most iconic museums into a truly memorable experience, Marcel is the person to call. Highly recommended!

Memories Made - The Best Museum Tour By Far! - Anastasia was an amazing tour guide for our Museum Day at the Louvre and the D’Orsay. We feel so lucky to have had Anastasia assigned to our group! Our group was made up of three adults and two teenage boys and Anastasia was able to keep everyone engaged, sharing interesting facts about the art and the museums themselves that you don’t often hear about or read in guidebooks. There are so many things to see at these museums, and it could be overwhelming if you have limited time and attempt to take these museums on by yourself. Anastasia made the day so special for our two families and left a lasting impression on our boys. I can’t recommend this tour enough, and if you can request a tour guide ask for Anastasia! She’s tremendously passionate for what she does, and no matter how many times you may have visited these museums in the past, I’m sure you will leave Anastasia’s tour with even more knowledge and appreciation for the treasures in these museums. Thank you, Anastasia, for making our day so special! Antoniette M.

Centuries of French art and history, wrapped up in one days’ tour. - Long day, but well worth the price to see two museums on the same day (with the same guide!). Valérie Voinchet did a wonderful job keeping all our interests up during the 2 tours. Valérie not only knew the art, and artists, but was very familiar with the history and construction of each of the buildings. It was truly an interesting and quite educational day! Well done, and thank you! We’ll be back!

Family Tour at The Louvre & Orsay - Our guide, Malaïka, was wonderful. She was interesting, knowledgeable, and great with our family of 3 kids (ages 15, 13 and 10). Malaïka spent time explaining the pieces in such a way to captivate the interest of our kids.
