We did a self-guided tour through the museum and spent several hours enjoying the art and stopping for a nice meal in the Orsay. Day was just delightful because of environment (the former train station alone is worth seeing), exhibits and manner of display.
Entry was easy with a slotted time and queues related to that time. The art displayed was wonderful and I saw some of my favourites. I loved it. I enjoyed a hot chocolate and a slice of banana cake at a cute and well serviced cafe at the Musee.
We had 9:30 set time tickets and were redirected to a shorter line. Anyone buying tickets with any time entry has to wait in a very long line. I recommend these tickets

Art of Monet, Renoir and Degas, Van Gog and interior of the expositions
It was a great experience, it's a pity that I didn't get to see Monet's sunrise reflection, but I also saw a lot of paintings that I learned during my school days, so it was a lot of fun!

Our museum guide Julie was the greatest guide I have had in all the world ! She made such an amazing visit with very interesting facts about the paintings and artists. Also she has this incredible sense of humor which made the visit so fun.
Skip the line entry was perfect. Loved our Tour Guide. Very knowledgeable with lots of great information shared. Will definitely book again '
Our tour guide Sylvany was wonderful and passionate about her work! She was filled with excellent additional information about the artists and their lives. Brilliant!!!
Stephanie was wonderful! I liked the fast track no line. She was very informative.
the guide was very good, knoledgeable , funny and very detail and understanding of all art periods.
We didn't know that the guided tour would be in English, as it wasn't specified either in the email (in French) or on the app.

The guide was knowledgeable and approachable. She clearly had a passion for art history and Paris. I learnt lots of new things and the visit was well structured to understand the significance of the impressionist movement, which I appreciated.
Terrible we couldn't get in to see the museum on time and then we couldn't see the impressionist on the upper floors overall very very disappointing
Our guide was quite good. He fleshed out the lives of the artists, and knowledgeably taught us about the techniques and materials of the painters
The guide was late at the appiontment. He appeared to have had a wonderful night the night before. He was not inspiring at all, quite routinely led us through the museum.
Tinu was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We did see many paintings that she provided excellent details that we otherwise would not have seen. Merci
Our guide Adam was simply amazing! Friendly knowledgeable and interesting. What was distressing are the crowd sizes that the museum allows. Should be better control of that. After guided tour could not remain to browse on our own. Way too many people!!!!
Our guide was really professional! Some information on the meeting point within booking info or ticket itself would help your clients to be more relaxed. We were pointed to the main queue by the employee of museum (as there is no information in the ticket, only how to reach museum itself), altghough our guide was standing outside and waiting for us.
I booked on a site written in French and didn't see that it was an English-speaking guide, not a French-speaking one. The indication was not sufficient. Jr doesn't speak English and I couldn't take the tour... I didn't get any help from the service, and even though the guide was nice, I wasn't offered any solutions.

Our tickets come up on the app to get us in. I did not realize I would need them to get into each wing. When we went to pull them up again I could not get the PDF to load due to bad wifi and signal in the Louvre. There was no help number to calll with the head out app. We kept clickingz and clicking around until they finally popped back popes up. We never did figure out how we found them the second time. You need some type of tech support that is reachable. It was very frustrating to think we had lost our tickets and could not get in.
Louvre is in itself a sight worth seeing. The collections are huge and well displayed. However, to get the maximum out of your visit pre-planning is worth while. As the exhibits are so large you easily end up walking and gawking aimlessly without necessarily seeing what you came to see. The interactive guide (audio guide) takes some time to truly understand. For those who have played games on a PSP have a huge advantage.
Museum's architecture is awesome! The idea of transformation from a train station to a museum. And also, Van Goghs of course!
The queue smooth and well organized, the staff very friendly. The Louvre inside was crowded but as it always is.The audio guide helpful and practical.

Beautiful places but too crowded. At Versailles, in particular, everyone clustered together. Then it was not made clear at the time of purchase that the Palace + gardens ticket would allow us access to the gardens even before the Palace entrance time. We realized this by accident. Just as it was not clear that the ticket also included entrance to the Grand Trianon. For admission to the Louvre, however, it would have been better if you had informed us with an email about the permanent exhibitions that were not visible, at least we were prepared. For example, the Egyptian one. Greetings

Very good for the ticket we got in right away, the audio guide however is actually an unclear app and without pictures, hard to understand what you are looking at, I would definitely take back only the entrance tickets without audio guide
View original review in Italian
The audio guide wasn't really friendly and specific usage instructions. We ended up not using it, which made the experience a kind of browsing or just roaming the museum. Which we didn't appreciate. Plus we booked with you 11:30 and then discovered there, that the tickets are 12:00 which caused us a lot more wait in wrong lines.
Your journey begins at the designated meeting point by Entrance C (Entrée réservée) of the Orsay Museum, where you'll meet your expert guide, and enter the world of Impressionism and Post-Impressionism-era art. With skip-the-line access, you’ll bypass the long queues and head directly into the museum without delay. After a swift security check, your guide will lead you through the museum's impressive spaces, ensuring your time is spent admiring art, not waiting.
Begin with the ground floor where your guide will bring history to life. Learn about the museum's origins as a bustling railway station, and its transformation into a world-renowned art museum. You will encounter iconic works such as Renoir's Dance at the Moulin de la Galette, each offering a unique glimpse into the artistic spirit of the late 19th century, amidst other sculptures.
Ascend to the 5th floor and explore the celebrated works of the Impressionist and Post-Impressionist movements. Here, your guide will unveil the beauty and significance of masterpieces like Monet’s Water Lilies and Van Gogh’s Starry Night Over the Rhone, offering deeper insights into the painting's brushwork influenced by the era and the artistic innovations behind these creations.
A guide will provide historical context, including the building's transformation from a railway station, and explore the museum’s architectural significance. You will also gain a deeper understanding of 19th-century French art, connecting it to historical, social, and cultural movements.
Guided tours generally last for 2–3 hours, providing a comprehensive overview of the museum's major highlights without making you feel rushed. Once the guided tour concludes, you are welcome to continue exploring the Orsay's extensive collection independently, revisiting favorite artworks or discovering new ones at your leisure.
Guided tours are priced higher than standard tickets, but the cost is worth the expert commentary and in-depth insights provided by the guide. These tickets also include skip-the-line access, allowing you to bypass the crowds.
Guided tours are available in English.
The tour provides a concise yet insightful exploration of the history behind key pieces. You get context, stories, and cultural significance without overwhelming detail.
Yes, the guides adapt their explanations to accommodate all levels of familiarity with art, ensuring the tour is engaging and accessible for everyone.
The guided tour has a maximum of 6 people, making it an intimate experience.
