This was such an interesting tour! Although I have some pre-existing knowledge of art history, my partner did not, and Simon was fantastic at finding the balance between making the information easily digestible and teaching me something new! I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to visit the Musee d’Orsay!

viatour did not tell us who our guide would be or what group name. we looked for viatour sign and were told that viatour was not a tour operator and we should check our voucher. not on the voucher and caused anxiety and frustration. the tour was excellent!

Our guide Claire was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable about art history and the Impressionist period. This is a wonderful introduction to Musee d’Orsay even if you have been before, as I have. I learned many new things.

Absolutely amazing experience with Lillie (I think that was her name, and how it is spelled). Best tour we've done in a long time. We loved it. She was enthusiastic and super knowledgeable.
If we were in Paris longer, we'd book her privately for more tours.

We truly enjoyed our walking tour with Nazil at Musee D’Orsay. We were in a small group of only four people, and she kept the pace of the tour perfect, to see as many pieces as we could in our two hour tour. Our tour guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to point out items of interest that we may want to come back to after the tour.
My understanding is that we do not have the option to choose a tour guide as they are assigned to us, but I wouldn’t hesitate to suggest Nazil as a tour guide at any location in Paris.
Little suggestion- hold a special colored umbrella or jacket at the mtng point and let tour participants know what to look for.
