About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Queenliz020 contributionsPrivate Orsay Museum TourWhat an awesome tour of a great museum! My husband and I were guided by Maurizio, who was such a wonderful guide. Not only was he really knowledgeable, but he is clearly passionate about art and wasn't afraid to express his own humorous opinions about the art and the artists. The Orsay is a must-see for any fan of Impressionism, and is a unique and impressive building in its own right. I definitely recommend this tour!Written October 2, 2024
- aliciak3940 contributionsOne of my favorites places!I love The Louvre. I go every chance I get & I always come across something I hadn't seen before. I always run out of time and have to cut my visit short but I'm an art historian, so I tend to get carried away.Written July 3, 2024
- kristymcn0 contributionsEngaging art tourMauricio was an incredibly engaging tour guide and a great storyteller. He brought the paintings to life by weaving narratives around them. He shared insights into the artists' worlds, guiding us through the evolution of their careers from beginning to end. The tour was both educational and extremely enjoyable. Definitely a highlight from my time in Paris. Thanks Mauricio!Written June 22, 2024
- a_domingue0 contributionsFavorite tour in ParisThe tour of Orsay was my favorite tour in Paris. My husband and I went on tours in Normandy, Mont St Michel, the Louvre and Versailles but our Napoleone Tour with Mauricio was by far the best. He kept our attention from start to finish in an engaging, fun way. We learned so much about the artists and the stories behind the paintings. Musee D’orsay was truly my favorite museum, partly because of the art on display but mostly because of the way the information about what we were seeing was presented. I highly recommend this tour.Written June 20, 2024
- a_domingue0 contributionsBest tour of our vacation…!Mauricio was awesome as our private tour guide. He not only showed us all the important works of the impressionist but also brought those paintings to life by telling the story behind the paintings. Mauricio helped us to not only understand each work but to also feel all the emotions and the connections from one piece to the next, as well as from one artist to the next. His tour brought us back in time and let us see and feel life through the eyes of the artists…! Would high recommend this tour to everyone who is planning to visit.Written June 20, 2024
- Helen H0 contributionsFabulous GuideMauritzio was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and engaging. He gave us a fabulous tour and the four of us learned a lot. It was terrific to be able to skip the lines, and we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. Highly recommend.Written May 30, 2024

- K7573MLmarkt0 contributionsPhenomenal tour and the highlight of our tripThis tour was absolutely top-notch. Our tour guide, Mauricio, was knowledgeable, excited, funny, and had such intimate knowledge of the Garnier Opera House history, art, architecture, and secrets. We had easy access to the building, the different areas, and we waited in zero lines. It was a highlight of our trip, and we can't recommend this company enough. Book this tour - you will not be disappointed.Written April 1, 2024

- kennethhT2743AZ0 contributionsA walk through the Granier Palais with Marizio!We had the best guide that told us a bit of history in a funny yet accurate approach. We learned and got to see a masterpiece as well. Highly recommend this tour company.Written March 11, 2024
- annemariecO6293NP0 contributionsBest Tour!So very happy with Maurizio's private tour at the Musee d'Orsay. He shared insight not commonly known, the histories of paintings, the meanings, the why's, the "secrets" - absolutely fabulous. BEST tour we've ever had, and it was private. Fine art can be intimidating. Maurizio made it a really great experience. We would highly recommend! We will definitely book again when next in Paris. See you soon!!Written March 10, 2024
- pdxbbtravelers0 contributionsThe tour with Maurizio enhances appreciation of a beautiful building.A very interesting tour of a very interesting building. Maurizio did a great job of explaining the back story to help make sense of the many opulent details. We highly recommend Maurizio as guide.Written February 16, 2024
- mjsheptock0 contributionsAmazing tour with MauricioMauricio was an amazing guide. He made the history of the Opera Garnier and its genius architect come to life. He was very adept at navigating through the spaces of the opera house which was tricky at times. Take this tour. You will not regret it.Written February 12, 2024
- icelk20240 contributionsl’Opera FANTASTIQUEWhat a fabulous tour!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better time in l’Opera. Maurizio was absolutely wonderful. So many stories and little bits of knowledge that we would have missed without having him there. This was one of the best tours we did during our time in Paris. Highly recommend!!!Written February 7, 2024

Visite formidable effectuée avec Laurent WITTVERT, notre guide préféré (guideapolis). S’il avait été Prof, il aurait été un super bon pédagogue!
Il a su nous amener à replonger ds toute une époque de l’histoire . Maîtrise parfaitement son sujet (les passages couverts) et nous rend la visite tellement agréable, de par sa bonne humeur, son esprit convivial et son HUMOUR au top!
Plein de détails, Beaucoup d’anecdotes amusantes… Bref, découvrir (voire apprendre) auprès de lui, est un pur plaisir…
Nous avons tellement apprécié que nous n’avons pas vu le temps passer. Notre visite de Montmartre avec Laurent en 2018, nous avait déjà laissé un souvenir mémorable. À conseiller vivement!

Una delle gite più belle che abbia mai fatto. Maurizio,guida eccellente che unisce preparazione a simpatia catturando l’interesse di adulti e adolescenti , difficili da entusiasmare. Non solo ci ha fatto scoprire i più bei passaggi coperte e gallerie della capitale, ma, con i suoi racconti, ci ha catapultato nella Parigi ottocentesca facendoci muovere come veri flaneur. Unico rammarico : aver fatto solo una delle gite offerte dalla Napoleone tour . Torneremo per scoprire gli altri luoghi magici della splendida Parigi che solo con percorsi non turistici, come quello offerto da Maurizio rendono indimenticabile il viaggio. È bello trovare all’estero eccellenze italiane.

Bellissimo tour, insolito e originale, alla scoperta di aspetti meno conosciuti ma molto interessanti di Parigi. La guida Maurizio divertente, preparata e coinvolgente. Se tornerò a Parigi, prenoterò certamente un tour con loro!
