We had a wonderful time at the Musee d'orsay. The Renoir exhibit was exceptional. Overall, the museum has great art and is not nearly as crowded as other attractions in Paris. We had a lot of selection in the times available when booking on line just one day in advance. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves art from the 1850-1915 period.

I have had some bad experiences with another your company this trip, but not this one. Great guide, extremely organized and knowledgeable tour of the most beautiful museum. Such an enjoyable experience especially compared to going to the Louvre which is crowded and just not a pleasant experience having to fight the crowds. This tour was perfect.

I absolutely LOVED the Orsay! So many dearly loved masterpieces in one place. The museum is well organized in a manner that a person can follow the flow of not only art genres history, but all of world history because art is such a part of life. The traffic flow patterns are set up in such a way that makes it easy to cover all.

The time-stamped ticket lets you skip the long lines. It’s great and very convenient. No time wasted waiting outside, and maximum efficiency so you can enjoy the museum at your own pace. I highly recommend this option.

The opening hours and time limit weren't very clear, but when the official tickets arrived—with free admission and no time limit—I was pleasantly surprised! Plus, I barely had to wait in line at the entrance. Great!!!

This museum is an absolute MUST-SEE when visiting Paris!! Unfortunately, it was so crowded that you couldn't really admire the artworks... and there were actually quite a few people staging a full-on photo shoot right in front of them.

Explore artworks by Monet, Renoir, & Van Gogh in the permanent and temporary collection at your own pace, & stay as long as you like during museum hours.

A nice museum, full of works of art. The only downside was that the audio guide wasn't provided by the museum—you had to download an app and so on, which was quite a hassle.
