Getting a clear sense of the price of ultra-exclusive private museum tours and art excursions isn’t easily done unless one is actually booking a tour. Audrey Chtchepine, founder of My Private Paris, told Observer that the company “often receives requests from American private collectors, or individuals who have been to Paris multiple times and are in search of different experiences.” Her company “can curate a very exclusive art itinerary” that includes private visits to artists’ studios, before-hours private tours at the Louvre, Musée d’Orsay or Galerie Dior and private visits and dinners at Parisian collectors’ residences. Beyond providing access, exclusive private tours can also eliminate some of the stress of sightseeing for those who still plan to visit museums during business hours. Members of Friends of the Uffizi museum in Florence, Italy, who donate at the Michelangelo level ($10,000 annually) receive one- to two-hour private tours of the museum, according to Lisa Marie Conte Browne, president of the organization.
