She was very knowledgeable, and very good at tracking that which we were most interested in.

Itinerary
"The former train station of 1900 turned in 1978 into one of the most famous art museums in the world. And there is nothing surprising in this, because here are collected French paintings from 1848 to 1914, that is, the most vivid period in French art. Such names as Renoir, Monet, Van Gogh, Manet and Cezanne are known all over the world."

Nataly was wonderful! Great with our teenagers and her knowledge and passion were contagious!
Nataly is a wonderful guide! We had a tour with her at the beginning of November. Her knowledge of art, wit, sense of humor is incredible. She brings to life not only the stories behind the paintings, but also the history of the period, very fine details about the artists lives, what made them who they are, which truly makes the experience not only unforgettable but also relatable. I wish we could spend more time with her. Please do more tours!
The guide didn’t show up, terrible and didn’t informed us until the supposed start time for the visit to the museum, once we were already there
Daniel made this tour truly unforgettable. His knowledge of art, engaging personality, and professional approach made every moment enjoyable and insightful. It felt like being part of an inspiring art class, and even our daughter, who studied art, was impressed by his depth of understanding. We’re grateful for such a memorable experience.
Nataly was absolutely incredible! She wasn’t just knowledgeable about the artists and their works — she truly brought the stories behind impressionism to life. Instead of rushing us through highlights, she explained how the movement evolved, connecting everything in such an engaging way. She also had a great sense of humor and made sure everyone felt included, even those who joined late. The way she ended the tour — with an inspiring reflection — honestly moved me. It felt like so much more than just a museum visit. Nataly shared a Van Gogh quote that stuck with me: "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint', then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." Hearing that while standing in front of Van Gogh’s paintings gave me chills. Thank you, Nataly — this was one of the most inspiring tours I’ve ever taken!
Both of our tour guides showed up on time. We had a big group so our teenage kids were with one guide and we were with the other guide. The kids loved the tour. They can’t stop talking about how much they learned. Thank you for giving my kids the experience of a lifetime!
Natalie was AMAZING! Her tour of the Orsay was very informative, with some great lessons in art history. We had many interesting conversations about art in the Musée and more broadly. Highest recommendation.
This was a fantastic tour. We visited all the places that we would have in an ordinary city tour (for a better price that we could find btw), but in addition to the standard (and very interesting!) guide’s explanation (thanks Alex!) we had all the parallels from the movies that we love. Definitely definitely definitely recommend, especially for the people our age (25-35) who are looking for something out of ordinary.
I usually do things on my own, but for this one I wanted a guide, and I’m glad I did. It made a huge difference. I still had space to explore on my own at the stops, but with someone there to tie it all together.
Way quieter, more personal, and just… deeper. The mix of history, scenery, and small towns was perfect. Our guide had a great balance, knew when to give us space and when to step in with stories.
The excursion was organized at the highest level The excursion was organized at the highest level - individual approach, comfort and attention to each of our requests. I have absolutely no regrets that I chose this company. Next time I will definitely book a tour with them again.
Going to the Musée d'Orsay with a guide made the visit so much better! They didn't just show us the famous paintings like Van Gogh's Starry Night or Monet's pretty water lilies-they told us the cool stories behind them, the feelings they had, and the hard times the artists went through. I really liked learning not just about the paintings, but also about the artists' lives. It was super worth it!
We loved our tour of the Louvre with Elena!!! Our tour guide was Elena and she was phenomenal! My family and I kept saying how lucky we were to attend! As an art historian, she had considerable knowledge and appreciation for the sculptures and the history of the works on display. Elena was very thorough in answering questions, she was a pleasure to talk to and her positivity made the tour even more enjoyable. I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to for her. Thank you!!!
We enjoyed our museum visit to the fullest. The guide was very knowledgeable and we even had some nice photo shooting next to the clock. If you want to visit or say - this tour is perfect.
I would really like to thank my guide Natalia for an afternoon full of discoveries and pleasant emotions! It was 3 hours of immersion in art history, where I felt very comfortable and didn't even notice how time flew by! Natalia was very good, I highly recommend her!
Nathalie was a competent guide, She shared her knowledge and all the richness and complexity of the works present, My spouse and I were delighted with the experience, I recommend it!
Guia confundida, con los pintores, dijo que ese museo no era su especialidad. Se alejaba de nosotros en vez de quedarse al lado explicando los cuadros. Una cosa es darte tiempo a mirar y otra no participar como guía. En síntesis, esperaba mayores conocimientos de una guía se supone experta en arte.
