What you'll see and do
Musee d'Orsay
HIGHLIGHTS • Benefit from hassle-free access to the Orsay Museum with skip-the-line tickets • Entertain your kids by exploring the museum to solve a puzzle • Witness the very best of Impressionist art • Enjoy a nice coffee break in the museum café itself Meet your guide in front of the magnificent Musée d'Orsay façade and receive your skip-the-line tickets and an activity booklet for each kid. Through a no-line entrance, you’ll immediately begin your journey into French art history. First marvel above your heads: the Great Clock reminds us of the time the museum was a train station. Don’t you still feel trains passing from time to time? Your guide will tell you more about these intriguing vibrations while suggesting your kids focus on their first riddle about… the Statue of Liberty! Afterwards, and according to your children’s own interests, you might stop at a Rodin sculpted group or at Pompon’s Polar Bear. A whole section of the museum is dedicated to the Paris Opera House, as it was the most symbolic building of the period the museum covers (1848-1914). And the river which navigates the Phantom of the Opera? Is it only a legend? Hmm… Ask your top-rated guide, and you shall have the answer! The Impressionist gallery will overwhelm your expectations and also those of your kids. Because every masterpiece has a little secret to unveil: who really are the characters in Claude Monet's Poppies? What is so surprising about Degas’s statue Small Dancer Aged 14? Did Cézanne eat all the apples he painted? Thanks to your Welcomer's explanations, tailored around your children's ages and levels, your family will experience an interactive, artistic discovery and won’t miss any must-see paintings, whether it be Van Gogh’s Sunflowers or Gauguin's Tahitian scenes. Last but not least, beautiful overviews of Orsay architecture and Paris roofs will be available all along your visit from terraces or lookouts. Then you'll enjoy a refined moment in one of the Orsay stylish cafés. There is even a ballroom to be seen; if you suddenly feel like a 1900’s waltz dancer… well that's just the consequence that an inspired visit to the Orsay Museum can have!

Visit to Musee d'Orsay to view John Singer Sargent exhibition
We were in Paris to view the John Singer Sargent exhibition. which was a great success. The show was busy, but with timed tickets access was fine. It was a truly remarkable collection which has never been put together before with many pieces coming from private collections. Everything was explained and we left having had fun and been educated. The rest of Orsay was, as usual, brilliantly laid out.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review Eddie! We are glad you enjoyed your tour us and will be around if you expect to come back one day! Your Meet the Locals team :=)

Great company
I highly recommend this company. Dominique helped organize a wide variety of tours for my family in Paris including the Louvre, the Orsay, Versailles and Montmartre. She was super responsive to my emails and calls and made sure all the details were worked out before we arrived to Paris. The guides that did the tours were great with the kids and we had a blast.
Response from the operator: Bonjour Dave, Thank you so much for this feedback, we're thrilled to see that you enjoyed all your activities with us and had a great time overall. We hope to see you soon back to Paris, London or Edinburgh, to experience many more of our awesome activities! Your Meet the Locals team :=)

Perfect tours for families!
We had the most incredible time with both Nathalie and Sebastien. They were just wonderful people to go on the tours with and they both engaged our teenage son Zach, who speaks fluent French and mixed up the French and English brilliantly for us as we don’t speak French. When we visit Paris again we will definitely be booking another food tour. We returned to the area where we had the tour to grab more of the delicious goodies we tasted. We also did the side car tour, to the absolute delight of everyone involved, and the tour of Versailles. If you are after unique and memorable experiences, you can’t do better than Meet the Locals.
Response from the operator: Bonjour Sarah, Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us. We're thrilled to see how much you enjoyed your tours and guides, Nathalie and Sebastine were thrilled after reading this review. We look forward to seeing you back for a food tour! Your Meet the Locals team :=)

Amazing experience with Meet the Locals!!!
We spent a week in Paris and did all the tours with Meet the Locals. It was absolutely amazing! Everything was well organized, focused on the children and attentive. From the first interactions by email to schedule the tours and organize the agenda until the last contact with them, the service was impeccable. The guide was knowledgeable, well prepared and spoke Portuguese, which was key for the kids to enjoy the tours and learn about French history and culture. We did the tours at the Louvre Museum, the Orsay Museum, the Versailles Palace, the Eiffel Tower, the tuk tuk and the chocolate and pastry tour. We highly recommend Meet the Locals. Next time we travel to Europe, we will definitely contact them.
Response from the operator: Bonjour Fabiana, Obrigado for your feedback, we're thrilled to see that you had a fabulous time with us! It was a real pleasure for Dominique and all the team and him to have made it a special moment for your family. We definitely hope to see you soon back to Paris or London! Your Meet the Locals team :=)

Museum fun
We had a wonderful day at Musee' dÓrsay. My 12-year-old twins were engaged and loved every minute of the tour. The pre-teen appropriate dialogue and fun clues helped them enjoy their time in the museum (even though is was their 5th in as many days). I highly, highly recommend Meet the Locals, their tours, and their tour guides. Beyond pleased.
Response from the operator: Bonjour Jolene, Thank you so much for this super feedback, we're glad to see that you enjoyed your time with us and had fun at the Orsay Museum! Another thanks for recommending us and we definitely look forward to seeing you soon back to Paris or London to experience many more of our awesome activities! Your Meet the Locals team :=)

Why this scores 43
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Family Tour at the Musée d'Orsay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Family Tour at the Musée d'Orsay cost?
+
Prices start at $590 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Family Tour at the Musée d'Orsay take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Family Tour at the Musée d'Orsay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable family friendly in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Family Tour at the Musée d'Orsay?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Family Tour at the Musée d'Orsay suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Family Tour at the Musée d'Orsay?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Family Tour at the Musée d'Orsay start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
