Quick Overview

• Your group only (up to 6 people)
• Duration: 2 hours
• Style: Walking, but we’ll stop often to actually look at the art
• What we see: The Impressionist floor plus the "unmissables" across the collection
• The finish: I'll leave you inside the museum so you can keep exploring if you're not tired yet
• Best for: First-timers, art lovers on a schedule, and families who want a calm visit

The Experience

I like to keep my Orsay tours straightforward: we find a good rhythm, avoid the biggest crowds, and focus on the art rather than just a list of dates. I’ll give you enough context to understand why a painting matters, but I won’t bury you in names you’ll forget by lunch.

Since it’s just your group, we can pivot. If you’re obsessed with the Impressionists, we’ll stay there longer. If you’re more into the building itself—it was a train station, after all—we’ll spend time on the architecture. My goal is to make the museum feel like a coherent story instead of a maze of rooms.

If anyone has trouble with stairs or walking, just tell me. I’ll map out a route using elevators and find the shortest paths between the galleries.

Good to Know

• Meeting Point: I’ll send you very clear instructions on where to find me at the museum.
• Timing: Try to be there 10 minutes early so we can get through the entrance smoothly.
• Weather: It's all indoors, so we're good regardless of the rain.
• Tickets: Already included. I'll have the details ready.
• Late Starts: If you’re late, it cuts into our tour time, so try to be prompt!

Choose Your Tour Length

Classic (2 hours)

The "greatest hits." We see the Impressionists, the big icons, and the architecture without feeling exhausted.

Extended (3 hours)

More time for the "why." We can add extra rooms, talk more about the individual artists, and take a slower pace.

After You Book

• You'll get a confirmation right away.
• I'll send the meeting spot details shortly after.
• I’ll ask what you’re most interested in (or if there’s anything you definitely want to skip).
• If you have mobility needs, tell me then so I can prep the route.

Is it actually private? Yes. Just you and me.

Will we see the Starry Night? Most likely, as long as the museum hasn't moved it for a special exhibition.
