Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Musee d'Orsay, 1 Rue De La Legion d'Honneur, 75007 Paris France
Paris’ other museum, the Musée d’Orsay, is the perfect complement to the Louvre. With your private guide, begin your tour through this converted Beaux-Arts train station with skip-the-line admission.
Inside, explore the artistic movements that led up to Impressionism and its colorful works. See Manet’s scandalous Luncheon on the Grass and Renoir’s Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette. Discuss with your guide the artists who preceded the Impressionists, like Millet and 'the Gleaners,' as well as those who followed, such as Post-Impressionist artist Van Gogh, whose Bedroom in Arles is on display. And, of course, check out works by the father of Impressionism himself, Claude Monet, including his famous poppies.
Learn about the art evolution and personalities that went into creating the Impressionist movement, and understand why these seemingly simple works were so revolutionary at the time.
By the end of your tour, you'll have learned about techniques used by the artists, seen both the highlights and lesser-known gems of the Orsay, and admired the beautiful architecture of the museum itself.

Elena our guide was excellent- very knowledgeable
Our tour was supposed to be from 10-12:30
We finished at 12:05- that was the only negative aspect- we so enjoyElena’s wonderful explanations and the history she provided- we’re disappointed that the tour was shorter than described

Elena was an amazing guide and I will absolutely look at art differently now. A wonderful experience and she selected enough paintings for us to see and stop at to hear the details and history of the art piece and evolution of Impressionism without being overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of pieces in the museum. Highly recommend the tour and Elena.

Had a wonderful tour with Eduardo. He took us through the museum at a perfect pace weaving in historical facts about the city of Paris and the artists we viewed on display. Eduardo led us through a fantastic transition from one artistic genre to another.

Belen is a true art historian and was amazing at explaining the context of the artwork on the tour and providing a behind the scenes museum experience. If quality over quantity is your goal you can’t go wrong with this tour
