Through his modeling of clay and ardent experiments with the human form, Rodin captured the deepest passions while simultaneously reflecting on the fragility of existence. On the tour, you will experience Rodin’s studio process through the eyes of an artist. Your artist-guide will provide unique insight into the sculptor's diverse techniques in a manner understandable for all audiences. It would be an absolute delight to explore with you how the twisted, dancing limbs; the monumental, immersive enlargements; the bursting blocks of raw stone and polished skin; the entangled, sinuous bodies; the singular mind and powerful hand of Rodin transformed the art of sculpture into living flesh, sublime movement, pure expression. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Meet your small group at the entrance of… - Entry ticket included: skip the ticket desk - Group size varies by option: small group from €180 · private from €250 - Starts 10:00, 12:30, 15:00: 3 departures a day - Food not included: Foods and Drinks - Wheelchair accessible: operator-marked - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Children from €170: ages 0 to 18 **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €180 per person for the Semi-Private Rodin Tour option; other options up to €250 - Duration: 2h - Rating: 5.0/5 from 52 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: That Time in Paris - Group: Group size varies by option: small group from €180 · private from €250 - Guide languages: English, French - Tickets: Admission included - Start times: 10:00, 12:30, 15:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-10-01 ## Reviews 5.0 from 52 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 100% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 52 of 52. - 5 stars: 52 (100%) - 4 stars: 0 (0%) - 3 stars: 0 (0%) - 2 stars: 0 (0%) - 1 star: 0 (0%) ### What reviewers say Reviewers praise the guide's artistic insight and friendly approach; the supplied reviews offer no critical feedback **Praised:** - Stories connecting Rodin's sculptures with his life and times - An artist's perspective on sculpting techniques and the creative process - Friendly, enthusiastic guiding that makes the art approachable - Personal attention that takes visitors' interests into account **Complaints:** - No complaints are stated in the supplied reviews Written by Guidekin from the 45 most recent English reviews on Viator & Tripadvisor (2024-02-10 to 2025-09-13); 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 | |---|---|---|---| | Semi-Private Rodin Tour | €180 / person | French, English | - | | Private Rodin Tour | €250 / person | French, English | Private Tour: In this exclusive private tour, your artist-guide will be devoted uniquely to your experience. | ## What's included - All entrance fees - Small Group: no more than 9 guests per tour - 2-hr Guided Tour of the Rodin Museum and gardens - Skip the line entry tickets to the Rodin museum and gardens - An artist as a guide ## Not included - Foods and Drinks - Hotel pickup and drop-off - Gratuities ## Itinerary 1. **Musee Rodin** (1h 30m; admission included) - Rodin Museum: Join our artist-guide at the entrance of the Hôtel Biron, the 18th century mansion that houses the Rodin museum.
