ART MUSEUMS · ORSAY MUSEUM
A railway station full of Impressionists, and small enough to do properly in an afternoon. The 15 below compare timed entry, the guided routes through the fifth floor, and the combinations with the Louvre or the Orangerie.
Use your timed GetYourGuide voucher at Entrance A2 for one-day access to the Musée d’Orsay. Explore its Impressionist and Post-Impressionist galleries, sculpture, photography, furniture, and temporary exhibitions at your own pace. The ticket has no audio guide and allows one entry only.
“This museum worth a visit every time you have a chance.”

Spend two hours inside the Musée d’Orsay with an English-speaking art guide who leads you to Van Gogh, Monet, Manet, Cézanne, and Gauguin. Guides such as Avi, Amelie, Hugo, and Manuel are praised for clear storytelling, humor, and strong art-history context. Prebooked admission saves time, but arrive early for the meeting point.
“Amelie, our Tour Guide was Excellent. She was Smart as well as witty. She is a Subject Matter Expert. She has much enthusiasm and is more than happy to impart her prolific knowledge. My wife and I learned a lot about Impressionism. Amelie is an Asset to Viator.”
Visit the Musée d’Orsay independently with an open ticket valid from 9:30am to 6pm. Enter through dedicated Entrance C1, see the permanent collection and temporary exhibition, and spend 2 to 4 hours with Impressionist masterpieces, sculpture, photography, and decorative arts.
“I had three tours with Viatour. Sending vouchers and no tickets is confusing. Why can’t you send tickets like the Versailles tour snd when going to the app why aren’t they in there. Had to chat while at the entrance window and have you send.”
Spend about 2.5 hours at the Musée d’Orsay with an English-speaking guide such as Dina, Christophe, or Lili. Follow the road from academic painting to Impressionism, see Monet’s poppies and Van Gogh’s Bedroom in Arles, and enter with admission reserved.
“Mathieu was a wonderful tour guide at the Orsay Museum. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained beautifully the historical aspects of how the impressionist painters came to be while guiding us to all the important works.”
Visit the Musée d’Orsay and Musée Rodin with flexible entry rather than fixed time slots. Use Entrance C1 at Orsay, then head to 77 Rue de Varenne for Rodin. You’ll see Impressionist masterpieces, Rodin’s major sculptures, temporary shows, and gardens at your own pace. No guide or audio tour is included.
“The combo ticket sold here worked out really well since I was buying same day and all the timed entry tickets were sold out. We had access to lines that let us in without a wait. Highly recommend!”
Follow an English-speaking art historian through the Musée d’Orsay’s former railway station, focusing on Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces. Choose a group of up to 25 or a semi-private visit for six. Guides such as Anais, Hamish, Florence, and Abed bring art, politics, and Parisian life into focus.
“Guide was extremely detailed and informative with paintings and subject matter. Opened my eyes to future artists.”
Spend about 90 minutes at Paris’s Musée d’Orsay with an English bilingual guide. Expect famous works by Van Gogh, Monet, Renoir, and Degas, with stories about artistic change. Gonzalo and Afsaneh receive especially strong praise, but museum admission costs an extra €16.
“Gonzalo is a knowledgeable guide. The tour flowed well with how the art style changes overtime. Gonzalo told stories of how artists influenced each others, how some artists decided to break the painting rules and eventually evolved into new painting styles. There are just so much too see in Musee D’Orsay. A good tour guide certainly makes a difference. We were lucky that no other people booked the tour on the same time as us. It became a private tour. Also we were reminded that we need to purchase the general admission tickets ourselves as soon as we booked the tour. Everything went well from booking to the actual tour.”
Enter Paris’s Musée d’Orsay on your chosen date and explore Monet, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Sargent, and more at your own pace. The ticket includes all-day admission and a one-hour English digital audio guide, though no live guide is included unless you select an optional private guide.
“We had not booked tickets until advance and when we checked on the day we wanted to visit the Musee d’Orsay, tickets were sold out for the whole week ahead. This Viator option carries a premium, but worth it if you left things to the last minute and want a time slot ticket.”
Pick a collection, a city, or a way through the door.
