Our Clients Love Us

We had an amazing family-focused private tour of the Musée d’Orsay with Alexandra, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment we met, she was warm, engaging, and made sure both adults and our 9-year-old felt included. Alexandra’s ability to bring the artworks to life in a way that was fun and accessible for our child was incredible. She shared fascinating stories behind the paintings and sculptures, and both of us learned so much—whether it was about the history of Impressionism or the little-known details about the artists’ lives.

The two-hour tour flew by, and we all wished we had more time! Our daughter was absolutely captivated the entire time, and it felt more like an adventure through art than a typical museum tour. Highly recommend Alexandra if you’re visiting the Musée d’Orsay with kids—she’s fantastic!

"Alexandra's tour of Musee d'Orsay was exactly what we wanted for our children (two boys, 11 & 12). From the very start she grasped their attention (and ours!) and off we went to discover Paris through the eyes of the impressionists. She has certainly peaked an interest in them, and we are forever grateful. We only wish we were in Paris longer to take advantage of her other tours. She did a perfect job, we could not have asked for more. Highly recommend as a "must do" when visiting Paris with your family"

Eileen Van Geertruyden

"We went on the Family Focus Tour of the Orsay. It was amazing. My expectations were fairly high based on all the positive reviews and this tour actually exceeded them. Alexandra's style is very engaging. The pace and amount of information were just right. We all learned a lot. The six-year-old said that it was the best tour she had ever been on (and she's been on dozens at least). The nine-year-old said that it was her favorite thing in Paris so far (we've been here for 11 days.) Even the 13 year old was impressed. We definitely plan to book another tour with Alexandra at our earliest opportunity"

Danielle Roncari

"Alexandra was an amazing tour guide for our family of 3 adults and 4 kids (ages 13, 11, 9 and 5). We met at Musée d'Orsay and she managed to deliver a history and an art lesson all in one, while keeping our vast age range all entertained! She was full of energy, fun and engaging and is excellent with english! When a little one became bored, she was quick on her feet with her "bag of tricks" pulling out something relevant and entertaining to reel them back in! Thank you, Alexandra! We'll be reaching out again on our next visit!"
