Guided Orsay Museum Tour - Fantastic! - our tour guide was fantastic. She led us to the most impactful pieces of impressionist art. her approach allowed us to understand how the impressionist movement began and evolved. For each piece of art, she provided a thoughtful, informative, and at times intriguing explanation of the artist's work. The collection includes most of the important works, and they are displayed in a beautiful building and settings. truly a fantastic experience

Orsay Museum: Impressionists Guided Tour - Michelle and I visited the Orsay Museum with a guide from Viator. The guide was excellent and well versed in Impressionists art. We dodged from room to room with ease and learned a lot that we did not know before the tour. We even learned about the building of the train station which was a plus.

Musée D’Orsay - The tour guide was knowledgeable and entertaining but very difficult to see much in two hours time. It would take a week to properly view all the rooms. For September, the crowds were enormous and since I am use a cane, some steps without railings were difficult.

MdO Visit - Firstly I want to say Antonie our tour guide was truly exceptional but the tour itself is not one I would recommend as far to many people and very limited in the art you see for the price of the ticket I would have expected a group half the size 20 is a big group for one guide!
