The Musée d’Orsay exhibits works between 1848 and 1914, featuring many Impressionist artists, such as Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet and Manet. The building where the Musée d’Orsay is located used to be a railway station called Gare d’Orsay. The space was split into various areas and there is a glass and iron ceiling, so you can notice there was a railway station here, which adds a unique charm to the museum. It is a popular Paris attraction, with nearly 3.9 million visitors annually. Book our Orsay Museum Small-Group Tour to learn about the artwork you see with an expert guide!

Our visitors had a great time on our Musée d’Orsay Tours!
A small-group tour of Orsay Museums was the perfect choice!
Great tour! It was wonderful to have a guide who was passionate about art and who could tell an interesting story! I was glad this was a small group because it really added to the experience. I didn't have to wait for people in the group to finish seeing the artwork, and I could hear the guide clearly. The tour was organized well, and I definitely recommend it!
Convenient way to visit two museums
Our tour guide had a magical way of telling stories about historical events and connected the tour of the Orsay Museum and the Louvre really well. He was well-organized, and the tour finished on time. My husband and I learned a lot! For example, I didn't know Impressionism was a revolutionary thing that went against the norms of its time, which seems silly today. We wouldn't know all this without a guide, so this was money well spent!
Our guide was a great storyteller!
I had a great time on our private tour, all thanks to our lovely guide! The artwork at the Orsay Museum was stunning, but he made the visit so much better with many interesting pieces of information and answered all of my questions. I learned a lot about Van Gogh and Monet that I didn't know before, and my favorite was Van Gogh's Starry Night. Just overall a very attentive guide, listened to my preferences, and changed the tour's schedule for me!
