Walking tour of Montmartre - The museum did not disappoint. And the walking tour was a must do event. You see things that just walking the streets you would not notice

Ivana in Paris is seriously life changing - My wife and I recently visited the Orsay museum in Paris after not having been to Paris since our honeymoon 34 years ago. Though my wife is well versed in the arts, I am a 64-year-old CEO of a US based healthcare company with the museum attention span of a four-year-old-maybe 20 minutes! We met our guide Ivana promptly outside as promised and proceeded to begin what I prophesized to be a three- hour torture session. After the first thirty minutes, nothing existed in my life other than Ivana and her comprehensive and beautiful insight into the arts and Paris overall. Her manner was captivating and her knowledge was thorough yet presented in a simple enough manner for me to build upon. Her joy for sharing her intimate connection with Paris and its art history made me thirst for more. At the end of the short three hour seriously life changing experience, I told her I could have followed her for another nine hours that same day. We had subsequent tours that trip in Paris (Louvre, etc..) with other guides -all reasonably good but all paled in comparison to Ivana. It is my sincere hope to return to Paris and engage her once more to open my mind and heart to Paris and all it and she has to offer. Ivana thank you for having the passion to change my appreciation for something I have clearly been missing all my life. Best, Len Weiss

Great way to visit Musée d'Orsay! - We really enjoyed our afternoon! Our guide, Michele, was super friendly and very knowledgeable. His commentary was the perfect companion for touring the museum. We also really appreciated being able to decide when we were ready to head out of the museum to see Montmarte. Walking Montmarte was really interesting and we loved Michele's route to Sacré-Cœur away from the crowds. Would definitely recommend this experience!

Best way to visit Musée d'Orsay! - This tour was a great way to see the Museum d'Orsay and Montmarte. Would definitely recommend! Our guide Michele was very friendly and knowledgeable. As a first time visitor to the museum, he gave us a quick history of art's progression to Impressionism and beyond with interesting anecdotes about the artists as well. We also really enjoyed the fact we determined how long to stay at the museum or go explore Montmarte and what to see there. It was a wonderful afternoon!
