What to expect
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.
Duration: 2 hours 30 minutes

The tour guide was very knowledgeable & conveyed an interesting perspective on the works of art. He was very knowledgeable of both the technical as well as the artistic side of each piece of work.

The tour was informative and fun. Seeing so many paintings I’ve seen in print, but now I got to see in person. Belen was so nice and fun. Even though I knew very little about art, she made it such an easygoing learning experience. Thank you Belen!!

Belen was wonderfully effusive and extraordinarily knowledgeable. We would take 5 more tours with Belen as we learned so much.

The Musee d’Orsay is beautiful! And our tour guide, Belen, really brought it to life for us. Belen is so knowledgeable, interesting, enthusiastic, and has loads of energy. She kept our family (4 adults and 1 child) fully engaged and entertained. We loved it!

Our guide Lili was so knowledgeable about the various galleries. And she carried an IPad which she referred to frequently with even more background and history which she would share with us. Lili’s passion for the artwork was so infectious. We actually ran into some people who had her as a guide previously and they clearly wanted to steal Lili away from us! Our private tour was so wonderful. When we come back we will again be requesting Lili as our guide!
