About this activity

Meet your guide outside Paris’ Musée d’Orsay. This popular museum displays French art dating from 1848 to 1914 and occupies a beautiful Beaux-Arts former railway station. Bypass the lines, head inside with your guide, and don your headset so you don’t miss any details during your tour. Then, wander the galleries to see the impressionist and post-impressionist art, and study the key paintings as your guide reveals how their techniques shook the art world. Learn about the artists who created them, discovering how their lives shaped their work and how they struggled for recognition. See masterpieces by Van Gogh, Renoir, and other greats, including celebrated works such as Monet’s Water Lilies and Manet’s Olympia, as you hear the stories behind them.

Guide met me exactly where I was told she would be. She arrived early so we were able to begin the tour early. Guide was very informative and we covered a lot of material. She was able to answer all questions and was very comfortable maneuvering around the crowds to get me to some key pieces I was anxious to see.

Antony was the nicest and helpful tour guide that I could expect. He was taking his time explaining the art pieces while trying his best to skip the crowded spaces and routes as much as possible. The visit while at August high season was not overwhelming. At the end of the trip he walked with us showing the way to the section that we were planning to visit on our own time. i couldn't recommend him enough. Thanks again for all your help.
