Avi was fantastic, the whole talk flowed seamlessly and built from the beginning to the final conclusion. All questions were valued and answered thoroughly and interestingly adding to the tour. My third trip to the Musee d’Orsay and I learnt so much. Even my reluctant teenager found it really interesting - thank you Avi!

Amazing tour, Adam was super knowledgeable and told great stories about the artists. One of the best guided tours I have done. I highly recommend !

The tour guide was excellent and gave good background stories about the paintings. By purchasing a morning slot for the tour, I was able to stay afterwards and enjoy the rest of the museum on my own. You only need a half day here, whereas at the Louve I would definitely recommend putting a whole day aside.

I really enjoyed the tour, even though I had just landed in Paris on the same day. As I didn’t have much time in the city, I was looking for someone who could help me experience the essence of the museum. I especially appreciated how Adam explained not only the artworks and paintings, but also the historical context, social norms of the time, the artists’ personal stories, and how everything was all connected.

On a very crowded day we got the best possible visit at the Musé d'Orsay.<br />Our guide Violet took us flawless through highlights of the museum. With her explanation of history in front of the master pieces, she gave us a special insight into the society issues of these days. Absolutely worth doing !

Loved this tour. Adam really engaged well with the tour group providing perspective upon how society affected the progression of the artistic movement at the time. <br /><br />Thoroughly recommend this tour for both those with existing knowledge of the impressionist art movement or those <br /> with interest but little knowledge.
