The team of art historian docents at Paris Muse put on some fantastically informative 2-2.5-hour tours for adults through the Louvre, the Orsay, Notre Dame, and neighborhoods like Montmartre, though their kids tours are a real highlight. Tailored to little ones, they make the learning part fun and informative enough for parents to enjoy. Plus, you get to skip the line at the museum.
