We had a greater appreciation of the wonderful art works by the information Anatole gave and background of the artists. Enjoyed very much!

Malaika was our tour guide. She was extremely knowledgable and personable. She gave us great and interesting information that would not have been available to the casual visitor.

The tour of the Orangerie Museum was great. Hugo our tour guide was a gem and a delight. His knowledge and expertise of the museum and the works of art and the artists was extensive. Our entry to the museum was easy and no waiting in line. I highly recommend this tour.

The only way to do a museum tour so you leave being more intelligent and have a deeper appreciation not just for the art, but for the stories around the art. We were beyond fortunate to have our tour guide named Sunday who was far over qualified for the job. Luckily, she loves sharing her academia with us and does so in the quirkiest and delightful way. We didn’t have any curiosities left unsaid because she dove deep into the artist, their work, the style, the cultural history and the impact for each section. I left there feeling as if I could be an art lover and contribute to art conversations which is the greatest gift a guide could leave us.
We wore one ear headsets to hear and that was so so helpful as there were areas a little more crowded and if you’ve ever been to Paris you know this place is quiet!
I am grateful we did L’Orangerie and have this experience as our Paris memory forever.

Fabulous. Our tour guide, Michele, was in contact with me before the tour. He was on time, spoke English fluently, and had a great working knowledge of the material at the museum. Michele was also friendly, warm and kind. He thoughtfully answered all questions, and also gave us time to experience the water lilies. A+ experience.

It was a wonderful tour… Hugo did a great job telling us stories of the period which really made the art come alive. There are a number of great works of art on the lower level with the Water Lilies featured on the main level.

For the first time in my life I have an appreciation for art. Our guide, Marcel, explained artwork in a way that gave me an appreciation for the sacrifices and challenges faced by artists, the differences in their techniques, and the meanings behind the paintings. My wife recently began painting and I knew she would be enthralled by the visit to the museum, but I found myself really enjoying this tour and I don't understand why more people don't visit this gem of a museum with an interesting history of its own. I enjoyed this tour more than I did my tours of the Louvre and Orsay.

Our experience with our guide, Mich, at L’Orangerie was OUTSTANDING! He was so kind, so knowledgeable and his insights that he shared about all of the artists, especially, or I thought provoking. Mich was so well prepared for our visit. It was obvious he had studied these incredible artist, and he knew so much about them! We will never forget our wonderful tour with Mich at L’Orangerie. It was truly the highlight of our trip to Paris!
