Tina was an excellent tour guide. The reason for the 3 stars for good value is that we happened to be scheduled for the first Sunday of the month which is apparently free, for everyone! As a result, we were not able to gain access as a tour - there was no 'skipping the line' available that day. Tina had to go online and 'reserve' an entrance time, which at this point had to be 11:00 a.m. as that was the closest time available (our tour was supposed to start at 10:00 a.m.) I felt bad for her as she said this had never happened before. Once the tour started it was excellent - Tina is lovely and very knowledgable about the art!

My guide was amazing! She had a lot of information about the museum's art, of course, presented in a way that told the story of the museum--the graduation from "academism" to what we now call Impressionism, and how certain paintings reflected the rebellion against the Academy. She also had interesting information about the building itself, which used to be a rail station. Very personable and friendly as well. Definitely recommend!

I booked this for two friends visiting while I was in Paris for an extended trip. They RAVED about their guide, how attuned to them she was, and how she provided loads of context for the art. Not focusing on the minutia of paint strokes, but instead talking about what was going on in the political and cultural climate and how that influenced each artist’s resulting work. They said it was the best museum experience they had ever had. (I was SO jealous and wish I’d joined them!)
