When it comes to experiencing Parisian museums, travelers often face a dilemma : should they opt for a private tour with a licensed guide or rely on an audioguide ?
-
Benefits of Paris museum tour guide
Licensed guides undergo extensive training and possess in-depth knowledge of the museum’s collections. They can offer historical context, artistic insights, and captivating stories behind the masterpieces you encounter. Their expertise transforms the museum visit into a rich learning experience, enriching your understanding of art.
However, they can be costly and may require advance booking, potentially limiting spontaneity during your visit while giving you his/her own art selection.
-
Benefits of an Audioguide with skip-the-line ticket
These portable devices provide audio commentary allowing to explore at your own pace. You can pause, rewind, or skip ahead that pique your interest, making it ideal for independent travelers. For budget-conscious travelers, audioguides present a cost-effective alternative, a fraction of the cost of hiring a licensed guide and offer flexibility in terms of itinerary and timing.
They are often more budget-friendly and readily available, but lack the personalized attention and interaction provided by a live guide.
In both case, PARIS BY EMY will set and book your so famous “skip-the-line tickets” with audioguide or with a licensed guide from its business partners network of licensed guide Parisian companies. The choice between a licensed guide or simply having an audioguide depends on your preferences and budget.
