The Musée d'Orsay is packed with iconic Impressionist works, but without context, many visitors miss the significance behind these masterpieces. Our private tour transforms your visit with a personal guide who unveils the stories of Van Gogh, Monet, and more. Discover how these artists reshaped the art world and explore both famous pieces and hidden gems with exclusive insights. This in-depth, tailored experience makes the Orsay’s collection truly unforgettable for art lovers.
Meet your private guide just in front of the Musée d'Orsay entrance where you'll have a chance to discuss any specific works of art you're most interested in seeing. Visiting the Musée d'Orsay is a daunting task (nearly 80,000 works of art) but well worth the effort. Your guide knows so many fascinating details from the construction of the building to the impressionism artists and their art. This means you'll gain an in-depth understanding of this vibrant time in Paris' history.

If you are lucky enough to have Auriele as tour guide at Musee d'Orsay, you will have a wonderful time! She was so knowledgable, the way she presented information was helpful and digestible for myself and my 12 y.o. daughter. Musee d'Orsay is a MUST, we enjoyed it more than the hustle and bustle of the Louvre and the tour was well timed and paced to keep us entertained and informed but not exhausted.

The history of the Musee D’ Orsay and the artists whose work it houses. We saw masterpieces like Starry Nught and Waterlilies and many others I had never heard of. before my tour. Ina was so passionate and knowledgable about the impressionists I felt like we earned a mini art history degrees today! I will never go to a museum without an expert guide again. Her private tour and her passion for the subject was a game changer for me and me friends.

Wonderful and knowledgeable guide.
Very hard to hear. Needed to be very close to hear and then could not be looking at art.
Need headphones. Then I could listen to guide while at same time walk closer to art work.

As a student of art in college many years ago, I appreciated her insights into the history of the French Impressionists movement and its paintings, before, during, and after. This private tour was everything my wife and I had hoped it would be. After this great tour, we decided, when we returned to Paris, that we should spend two days in the Musée d'Orsay, instead of just one, with a guide as good as Valerie. This tour was the highlight of our trip to London and Paris.

Spent extra for a private tour and loved it. I learned so much. We skipped the line and our enthusiastic guide dived right in to the history. Not only did we learn about the paintings but also about the stories of the artists which were even more fascinating!
