Orsay Only the Best

My husband and I loved the Musée d’Orsay tour led by Steph. We skipped the huge queue and entered right away with another small family to total 5 of us. The tour was fantastic. Steph is an absolute wealth of knowledge - truly a professional guide. She made it very easy to understand and relate to the artworks and artists, and I learned so much about how to interpret art in general. She answered every question asked including references to historical knowledge. I found her truly inspiring and can’t recommend the tour enough. Next time we will definitely do their Louvre and Marais tours. Also emailed with the manager Samantha who was very helpful as we had trouble booking online. Overall a major highlight of our trip!
