This was a fantastic tour! Our guide, Lucien, was amazing! He explained the history of the salons, the style of each painting and lives of each of the artists. We learned so much in 2 hours. And he was so excited to share his knowledge and answer any question. His English was superb. We got to see so much w/him and then spent time on our own in the museum after. If you can get this guide I promise you will not be disappointed!
Flo was so outstanding it is impossible to capture in words. Knowledgeable, enthusiastic, articulate, great English and he made it fun and inclusive.
Check your dates before you go. Unfortunately, we chose a Friday and they close earlier and also on holiday- that’s on me and should have checked. We chose this tour in order to have a personalized experience and avoid a large group. Unfortunately our guide arrived late and did not have our tickets ready for skip the line so we had very long lines to endure and wasted too much of what little time we had getting in. The museum itself is definitely a must see and worth a visit. Our guide was very disorganized and not very informative; this tour was not worth the high cost we paid. We were very frustrated by the whole situation and ended up dismissing her and cutting the tour short so we can venture on our own. I would definitely return and rent a headset and audio for the day or choose another tour.
Our private guide, Rafael, was fantastic! She was super nice, very knowledgeable, and showed us around this fantastic museum. Plus we were able to skip all the lines. This was probably the best museum experience we had in two weeks in Paris. Absolutely top notch and well worth the cost!
What a great experience for our family of four! Olek was friendly, fun and showed us the best of what this beautiful museum has to offer. He shared humorous, interesting stories and put it all in the context of history. The tour was well paced and engaging, even for our two teenagers. Highly recommend!
