Explore the Musée d’Orsay with an expert guide, from Manet and the Impressionists to Van Gogh and the post-Impressionist galleries.

About this tour

Step into the Musée d’Orsay and follow the artists who challenged the rules of 19th-century Paris. This 2-hour Paris Musée d’Orsay art tour begins with a look at the salons that shaped the era’s ideas of artistic quality, then introduces Manet, an early rebel against the establishment.

With an expert English-speaking licensed guide, explore the Impressionist galleries and discover works by Monet, Renoir, Degas, Valadon, and Lautrec. Hear how these artists influenced one another while standing outside the elite art scene. The tour then turns to Van Gogh, using his best-known paintings to illuminate the story of his life. Your visit concludes in the post-Impressionist wing, where you can keep exploring independently or leave the museum. Entry tickets are included, and the group is capped at six.

See the Musée d’Orsay through the people and ideas that transformed modern art. Book your Paris Musée d’Orsay art tour and make room for a closer look at the paintings that still captivate visitors.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 46 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Paris
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.6. Top 6% in Paris means it ranks in the top 6% of tours in Paris by this score.
