    Abbiamo avuto l'opportunità di visitare la Gare d’Orsay con Maurizio ed è stata un'esperienza unica! La sua preparazione e conoscenza dell'arte e degli artisti sono impressionanti! Ma soprattutto la sua simpatia e cordialità hanno reso la visita memorabile…non ci siamo mai annoiati! Consigliatissimo

    Interessante e coinvolgente: Luca, la nostra guida, è stato un reale valore aggiunto nella nostra visita sia al Museo d'Orsay che al Louvre. Esperienza che consiglio.

    Excellent visite du Musée d'Orsay avec le sympathique Lucas, avec le bon tempo, riche en perspectives historico-politiques illustrant l'evolution de la peiture depuis l'ere academique jusqu'à l'impressionisme et au dela.
