Excellent tour guide and teacher
Our family of adults really enjoyed our tour of the fabulous Musée D’Orsay. Bibiana is warm, engaging and very knowledgeable. We learned about how art evolved over time, as one group or movement of artists was influenced by and pushed the boundaries of the prior movement. I highly recommend her.

Top notch tour!
Fe guided my husband and me on a two hour tour of Musee d’Orsay. She was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and a master at maneuvering through the crowds. We learned a lot and saw all of the high points that could be seen in that time frame. She took pics of us at key spots and she was so sweet. Although she wasn’t available to take us through the Louvre the following day, she saw us there with another guide and made a point to come say hello. Great morning with Fe!

Aneta is a vintage shopper’s dream guide
I signed up for Aneta’s tour to vintage shop with my daughter in Paris - a dream come true. Aneta brought my dream to life. The first shop she took us to, the fashion was amazing and the owner was so sweet - made us cups of coffee. After a few moments of observing us and questioning, she took us to a lovely vintage consignment shop, another lovely shop owner that was just our cup of tea. The selection was amazing. We had so much fun, purchased a few beautiful items but I wanted them all. And through it all, Aneta’s commentary and gentle guidance - perfect. I didn’t want it to end. I visit Paris at least once a year and I will book Aneta’s tour every time.

Perfect Inspiration for an Artist
Bibiana met us at the Musée D'Orsay and gave us a private tour based on my interests as an artist. The transition from Neoclassicism to Impressionism was brought to life for us based on Bibiana's profound knowledge and addictive enthusiasm. We were so enthralled with her story, we were barely aware of the time, or the crowds of visitors around us. I would highly recommend Bibiana as a Paris museum guide.
