If you're studying art, you should definitely take this tour. Our guide broke down Rodin's impact on modern sculpture and it opened my mind. The guide was really able to take her time at each piece and even asked if there were any in particular that I wanted to spend time looking at. It was cool to see 'The Thinker' up close after studying it for so long.

Perfect for art lovers

I loved having a private guide in the museum! The guide added an extra layer of depth, sharing thoughtful insights into Rodin’s inspirations and artistic journey. Walking through the gardens felt like stepping into a living gallery. The tour was a perfect blend of art, history, and serenity. I highly recommend going with a private guide and this tour was well-organized and paced.

I did this tour with my husband, it was our second Private Tour in Paris and it was unforgettable! Both my husband and I are really into Rodin's work and have been to the collection in Philadelphia on our own last year. Visiting this one with our guide made it even better! We had lots of questions answered by our amazing and knowledgeable guide. We stayed a little longer after to explore. Would highly recommend!

A Masterpiece of a Tour!
