Anatole was an excellent guide. His knowledge of Rodin was apparent. The museum is fascinating and Anatole taught us so much about the sculptor and the process of his creations.

Malaika was a wonderful guide to the Rodin Museum, she took us on the most thought-provoking exploration of Rodin's most important works. She was wonderful at telling stories, taking us through Rodin's life and work to paint us a picture of life in Paris during the turn of the centruy, without giving us a dry recitation of facts. We can't wait to book with her again!

Excellent tour of the Rodin museum and its collections. Our guide, Dunya, is studying art history at the graduate level and had an exhaustive knowledge of Rodin’s works and life in the cultural context of 19th and early 20th century Paris. We had seen several Rodin sculptures and plasters earlier in the Musée D’Orsay as well as many works by rodin’s friends and colleagues and our guide was able to seamlessly integrate and discuss those works in context of explaining Rodin’s progression as an artist and the influences on his development, from antiquity to contemporaries to his loves and lovers. My partner and I both have doctorate degrees and are not easily impressed, but we had a delightful experience.

The house and the gardens are very beautiful and the life, works and collections of Rodin very evocative and interesting. Tanya our guide is extremely knowledgeable and freely shared that knowledge including visual aids which were very helpful. She also provided great context so we could make connections to the time and contemporaries of Rodin, as well as past and future tours of other museums. However what was most memorable is that unfortunately I had a medical episode during the tour. Our guide Tanya was so kind and caring doing everything in her power to take care of me and make sure I was ok. I am truly grateful.

Our visit to the Rodin museum was absolutely wonderful thanks to our exemplary tour guide, Lucien. His extensive knowledge surrounding the art and the history brought it all alive for us. He was very patient with our questions and gave us thorough and insightful answers. We highly recommend this tour with Lucien.

My friend and I knew very little about Rodin when we came for our tour. Lucien did a great job of telling the back-stories on the sculptures to give us a real feel for what life was like for Rodin and what inspired each piece of art. We would highly recommend this tour because it gives you the knowledge to really appreciate Rodin's work from many angles.
