Our guide Hamish knew his stuff and explained the selected art pieces quite well. Comment which you can pass on to the Orsay. The headsets were not good at all - they were static-y, even being a short distance awar from the guide - the audio did not transmit at all.

Abed, our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic ! There were 6 in our group. Abed was delighted with our questions and became more enthusiastic. He gave the basics and much, much more. Our tour also included the great paintings that were missing due to being out on loan. Yes, it was an "awesome" experience.
