A private tour to muse D’Orsay was scheduled and payment accepted on a date which the museum was closed. The day was Labor Day in France. We went to the designated area to meet our guide and to our surprise the museum was closed for holiday. It ruined our one opportunity to visit the museum, plus we could have organized another tour if we aware of this holiday. Extremely disappointed

After a series of 4 messages specifying my number and email as well as the details of meeting point, quite simply no one bothered to show up or call us or message us. When you call their number it is an automated voicemail message asking you to email them! And of course no one answers. Then they tried to claim that someone was there and are currently refusing a refund. Don't waste your money- I think this is a scam. We we a group of 5 people and were very disappointed with this company and how Viator handled it.

Our tour guide Zacharie was AMAZING! We were so lucky to have him! He knows SO MUCH!!! He helped my son arrange a wheelchair because he had a sprained ankle. Zacharie also loved explaining the different time periods of art, the different artists and showed us some of the “messages” the paintings portrayed! We were so lucky to have gotten Zacharie! He’s truly brilliant!! We will return and will definitely ask for Zacharie!!! What a fantastic tour!!

Our guide Zacharie was very kind and knowledgeable about history of art. He gave us a great tour and even stayed longer with us to show us more items we were interested in.

Helga was our excellent guide who made this museum come alive for us! My husband and I saw the art and came to know the painters through her passion for art and her insights. We loved every minute.

My husband and myself had an excellent tour, our local guide was very knowledgable, professional and helped us with everything that we needed. A bonus was the 24h boat taxi cruise we got so we could enjoy it even after our tour. Thanks a lot Venez Discover!!
