David was a fantastic guide and knew anything we wanted to know! If there was a “highlight” it was being evacuated from the Louvre because of a bomb threat! The Louvre and the d’Orsay were both amazing!!!

Daniel_S

Tour guide was very knowledgeable, we didn’t have to wait in any lines. Definitely have a game plan for the Louvre, the guide will know the fastest way through to see the most.

Sophie was an excellent guide. So knowledgeable! She made visiting the two museums so easy and helped us to understand art history much better. Our guide was especially helpful in the Louvre. It was very crowded and would have been overwhelming without Sophie. She made sure we saw the important items.

This was a highlight of our trip. Our guide Virginia met us in our hotel lobby and together we took the metro to the Louvre. We skipped the line and she gave us a historical background of the Louvre dating back to the initial fortress from the 1200s. We then hit the highlights of the Louvre. After a quick lunch we walked to the Musee d’Orsay and again got a historical perspective on the building and it’s transformation into a museum. Then we hit the highlights including wonderful descriptions of the masterpieces. Virginia was such a kind and happy person! We loved having her as our guide and would have her show us all of Paris if we could!

<p>Our guide's depth of knowledge exceeded our expectation. The time passed quickly with her. Money well spent! JW, Colorado</p>

Nanci S

<p>Our tour guide was the most amazing young woman. She was so knowledgable and friendly. The Lourvre is so massive, that she had a nice plan to move us through it, hit some highlights, and describe French history through the paintings. Lunch at Dorsay was amazing. Highly recommend the tour.</p>

John E

<p>It was nice to avoid the lines at the Museums. The guide was friendly and kind. However, she did not offer much information beyond what a printed guide would have, and very little background on artists and styles. For $650 I was expecting an expert art guide. I feel I was shortchanged on this tour.</p>

Peter W

<p>The tours were fantastic. Helen was exceptional and we would highly recommend both the tours and Helen to anyone inquiring into whether this is both highly educational and worth the money. Thank you very much for our entire family. Best, PDW</p>

Irene M

<p>Absolutely wonderful! We were able to see what we most wanted to see, and our guide even went over her time allotted. We only had one day, but managed to see works by Da Vinci, Michaelangelo, Botticelli, Raphael, Renoir, Monet and Cezanne, to name only a few. However, we only were able to see a small bit of all of the art there, so spend several days if you can.</p>

Peter Z

<p>Skip the line did not work at Musée d'Orsay. I the Louvre it worked only at the second location, not at the first try. The guide tried to make up for the missed Museé d'Orsay by improvising a short tour for the couvert passages which was a nice try, I appreciated it, but originally I booked the tour for the possibility of avoiding the line and spend the time instead in the museums.</p>
