Avi was knowledgeable about the content and he not only told us the history of the paintings, but we learned about the lives of the artist. Avi was funny and made the content approachable and easy to understand. It was one of the best tours I have experienced.

We had an incredible experience with Avi during our tour at the Musée dOrsay. His passion for art and deep knowledge of history brought every painting to life it felt like we were stepping into the artists stories. Avi was warm, engaging, and made complex ideas easy to understand. He also tailored the tour perfectly to our interests, which made the whole experience personal and memorable. Highly recommend Avi to anyone who wants to experience the museum beyond the surface.

Hugo was very knowledgeable and passionate and could give us details about the paintings we'd not have otherwise known. His enthusiasm was wonderful. Museum itself was horribly crowded with rude people wanting to pose cute in front of paintings and the rush on to the next photo op. By the end I was very sorry I'd gone. Paris...never again.

Violet was fantastic and we really enjoyed knowledgeable she was sharing the history of the paintings, the artist and also how it relates to Paris. The museum was wonderful! It was very helpful having the earpieces to hear Violet walk us through the museum. Im so glad we had a 900am start to have access to the museum so early.
