Experience the Musee d'Orsay - The guide was very knowledgable and even though it was a busy morning being in the group we skipped the line and were able to access the museum just that bit ahead of the big crowds. Was great to hear from the guide the background on the artworks and why this museum is dedicated to the impressionist period and how to identify the artwork. She also spent an extended period after the official tour end just to ensure we got through all the areas.
Wonderful museum that did not feel too big to see in a relatively short period of time, could have spent an entire day in there.

The only way to see the tour and skip the lines while you’re at it. - Marion made this tour of the Orsay so delightful. She was engaging and knowledgeable, making the experience of the museum one that couldn’t be matched venturing on your own. Highly recommend. Even my 11 year old was entertained by all she learned during the 1.5 hours and she doesn’t normally enjoy museums. She loved every bit of this tour.

Guided tour was great. - Tristan was great at connecting the pieces and explaining the evolution of art. Very informative. Appreciated his enthusiasm. Would recommend to others who want to learn more about the broader art context. It was long with a lot of info and you skip a lot as you go so you won’t see everything on the tour so be prepared to take time after to got back and spend more time with the pieces you want to see.

Olympic area blocked off tour missed - We had a tour at a museum near the Olympic area and no one told us that we needed a QR code to get into that area so we missed our tour. How would we have known?? We did not receive a refund. Unacceptable.
