Your Itinerary

Musee d'Orsay

Let's dive into one of france's most wonderful museums, the orsay museum. If you are visiting Paris, this is the one place to not miss. Meet your guide at the ' elephant sculpture' located just outside the museum, skip the long lines and discover a world of rebellious artists. In 1874, a group known as the Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors and Engravers  presented an exhibition in Paris that would bring about a radical break from artistic conventions and launch one of the most popular movements in art history. Their works were considered scandals and critics would treat them as crazy. It’s hard to imagine, now, that the quality of brushwork or the choice of subject in a painting could shock viewers, but for 19th-century Paris, these paintings represented something akin to a revolution. In this visit both adults and children will discover  not only masterpieces such as Manet's Olympia, Monet's Poppy field, Degas's ballet dancers or Van Gogh's bedroom  but also a unique life story hidden behind each of these daring painters who fought to obtain recognition.

Cynthia was amazing! Our whole family really enjoyed her and she brought the art to life. I would highly recommend.

I was in a hurry when I booked this and missed the part where we were supposed to purchase our own entry ticket. Nevertheless the guide waited and we started a few minutes late. Our guide (Cynthia) was amazing and successfully got our teenage kids to interact which is no small feat! I would recommend this tour.

This Musée is my favorite and I forgot you can buy tickets onsite. The only reason bought the tour was because I thought it was sold out! At times it’s better to be lucky than smart, as Cinthia Ramirez, our tour guide was truly exceptional with her knowledge, explaining the history and genuine passion for the Art in the museum. She is absolutely fantastic. I would have gladly paid double the price because of the value she brings to the tour.

Cynthia was a fantastic guide and made our d’Orsay experience truly memorable. Her knowledge of art history and the stories she told enriched our enjoyment of the artwork so much. Well worth the fee! Be sure to buy tickets to the museum ahead of time online to skip the long line!

We have a wonderful trip through time with Cinthia Ramirez. Her explanations were engaging, dynamic, illustrative and open-minded. We walked the masterpieces in the Musée d'Orsay in a clear storytelling way; she fulfilled our curiosity and left us talking all day about what we learned with her. My next time in Paris, I will book more tours with her. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and passion with us.

We booked a 7 pm tour guide via TripAdvisor and bought our museum entry tickets accordingly. The next day the operator wrote and said a 7 pm tour wasn’t available. They eventually suggested a 1:30 pm tour guide and we agreed. On our way to the museum, they wrote and said the tour guide had train trouble and couldn’t make it at 1:30. The operator cancelled our tour. We changed plans and went to the museum at 5:30. While there, the operator called to say that they found a tour guide for 7:00, after all. At that point it was too late for us. We appreciated their effort, but it was surprisingly disorganized.

Cinthia is so knowledgeable and such a great storyteller, we learned so much about the painters and the French history. Highly recommended.

Cinthia was a fabulous guide. We learned so much. Don’t miss her insight ! Our 16 year loved the tour as well and we went back by ourselves to see more.

I booked the small group tour for my mom and I with Cinthia, and it was one of the best we’ve ever been on! We were blown away by her wealth of knowledge and exceptional story telling. Her engaging style, paired with the intriguing background information behind the artists and the paintings we viewed left us completely in awe! Due to the strikes, we were lucky enough to have the tour to ourselves, which we were selfishly so appreciative of. We loved the paintings that she chose to focus on, and the flow of the tour was wonderful. We didn’t want it to end! Do yourself a favor and book this tour, you will be so happy you did! You will leave the museum a thousand times more grateful (and informed) than you did when you walked through the doors! Incroyable et fantastique, merci beaucoup! :)
