The Experience
What your day looks like
As the saying goes, two museums are better than one. With this Louvre and Orsay combo tour, one of our certified guides will lead you through two of Paris’s most iconic museums. Embark on a journey that spans millennia, from Ancient Greece to the colorful world of 19th-century Impressionism. On this intimate small-group tour, limited to just six people, you will begin with an in-depth visit to the Louvre Museum. From the incredible artistry of Ancient Greek sculptures to the drama of 19th-century masters such as Delacroix, you will uncover the stories behind some of the world’s most famous works. Discover why the Mona Lisa truly deserves her fame, how the Venus de Milo lost her arms, and what connects the Winged Victory of Samothrace to a modern sneaker brand. After a lunch break, cross the Seine to the Musée d’Orsay, where you will explore the vibrant and revolutionary world of Impressionism. Spend time with masterpieces by Ingres, Monet, and Degas. Admire Manet’s scandalous paintings Olympia and Luncheon on the Grass. Marvel at Renoir’s quintessentially Impressionist Dance at Le Moulin de la Galette, and be moved by Van Gogh’s Starry Night Over the Rhone. By the end of the tour, you will see why Paris is celebrated as the art capital of the world.

The guide kept us an hour longer than we expected and then the tour was a little long. However, our guide was very knowledgeable and had very interesting information to share.

Great tour. The guide, Romain, was so knowledgeable about history and art. It was also great to understand how the artists that are shown in the D’Orsay were influenced by art we saw at the Louvre.
