Choose a private tour for your party for an exclusive guide, with reserved entry included; shared options are also sold, and temporary exhibitions cost extra. 4.95 from 652 reviews at €63 per person for 2h–2h 30m. In our comparison: #4 of 15 in Musée d'Orsay Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Join our 2.5-hour premium guided tour of the Musée d’Orsay—designed for travelers who want more than a standard museum visit. Led by our top-rated expert guides, you’ll skip the lines and go straight to the masterpieces that matter. This isn’t a generic overview. You’ll follow a carefully curated route that brings the story of 19th-century art to life—connecting the artists, rivalries, and breakthroughs that led to Impressionism. From Manet to Monet and Van Gogh, every stop is purposeful, insightful, and engaging. Our small-group format ensures a more personal, interactive experience, with time for questions and a pace that never feels rushed—something large tours simply can’t offer. Recognized by TripAdvisor as the #1 Thing to Do in France, this tour reflects the highest standard in guided museum experiences. For an even more relaxed visit, choose our Thursday evening option, when the museum stays open later and crowds are often lighter. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Meet your guide 10 minutes before the… - Entry ticket included: skip the ticket desk - Group size varies by option: max 12 from €63 · max 6 from €140 · private from €326 - 4 start times: between 01:30 and 17:00 - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €10: ages 0 to 9 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €63 per person for the Essential Tour 12 Guest Group option; other options up to €326 - Duration: 2h–2h 30m - Rating: 4.95/5 from 652 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Babylon Tours Paris - Group: Group size varies by option: max 12 from €63 · max 6 from €140 · private from €326 - Guide languages: German, Russian, English, Italian, French, Spanish - Tickets: Admission included - Start times: 01:30, 10:00, 13:30, 17:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-03 ## Reviews 4.95 from 652 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 99% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 644 of 652. - 5 stars: 631 (97%) - 4 stars: 13 (2%) - 3 stars: 4 (1%) - 2 stars: 2 (0%) - 1 star: 2 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers value the art history and personal attention, though some describe very crowded galleries. **Praised:** - Historical context and stories that make Impressionist art easier to understand - Small groups allow questions and personal attention - Guides keep children and teenagers interested in the art - Help navigating the collection and finding key works **Complaints:** - Some find the galleries very crowded, while others find the crowds manageable Written by Guidekin from the 100 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2026-04-19 to 2026-09-27); last checked 2026-10-03. ## Tour options Prices are the operator's current list price for two travellers (whole euros); options sold only to bigger parties say so; pick the option on the booking page. | Option | Price | Guide languages | Details | |---|---|---|---| | Essential Tour 12 Guest Group | €63 / person | English | SAVE with our NEW Essential Tour tour of 12 guests max. per guide This option NOT FOR WHEELCHAIRS. | | Essential Tour 12 Guest Group | €63 / person | English | SAVE with our NEW Essential Tour tour of 12 guests max. per guide This option NOT FOR WHEELCHAIRS. | | SEMI-PRIVATE 6ppl Max SPANISH | €140 / person | Spanish | Museo del Louvre Paris Tour Esencial en Grupo Reducido Max 6 | | SEMI-PRIVATE 6ppl Max English | €140 / person | English | Book our most popular Premium Semi-Private tour of 6 guests max. per guide This option NOT FOR WHEELCHAIRS. | | Private Tour in ENGLISH | €326 / person (for 2+ people) | English | PRIVATE MUSEUM TOUR IN ENGLISH; PROFESSIONAL TOUR GUIDE EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOU; TOUR INCLUDES ALL ENTRANCE FEES | | Private Tour in GERMAN | €326 / person (for 2+ people) | German | PRIVATE GUIDED MUSEUM TOUR IN GERMAN; PROFESSIONAL TOUR GUIDE EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOU; TOUR INCLUDES ALL ENTRANCE FEES | | Private Tour in SPANISH | €326 / person (for 2+ people) | Spanish | PRIVATE GUIDED MUSEUM TOUR IN SPANISH; PROFESSIONAL TOUR GUIDE EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOU; TOUR INCLUDES ALL ENTRANCE FEES | | Private Tour in FRENCH | €326 / person (for 2+ people) | French | PRIVATE GUIDED MUSEUM TOUR IN FRENCH; PROFESSIONAL TOUR GUIDE EXCLUSIVELY FOR YOU; TOUR INCLUDES ALL ENTRANCE FEES | | Family Tour for KIDS or TEENS | €326 / person (for 2+ people) | English | Best option if traveling with guests of all ages.
