The art came alive on this tour! - This is no hype! Our guide, Hugo, was the BEST museum guide I have ever had! I was on tour with him 1/14/25. 2 1/2 hours seemed like 15 minutes! He has a masters in Art, so his knowledge was deep and unique! Very easy to follow his train of thought. I would recommend him highly.

Enthusiastic & knowledgeable guide - thank you Florence! - Florence was a fantastic, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic guide. I especially enjoyed her insights about the collections and the interplay between different artists, their work, the models that show up repeatedly in their work, and the women artists of that period who I had not heard about until today! I would highly recommend Florence to anyone looking for a thoughtful tour of Musee D'Orsay. I look forward to future tours with her! Thank you to Babylon Tours for engaging such a talented guide.

Great 2.5hr tour of the Musee d’Orsay - Anatole was excellent. Including pre-tour Whatsapp confirming tour and meeting point. He took care of our small group, including trying to get prime viewing position as he explained (+ museum became more crowded). We enjoyed his sense of humour and learnt a lot. You just don’t get this level of insight without a tour like this. Would 100% recommend. A great 2.5hrs.
