Excellent tour! - Enjoyed this tour every minute . Alex is so knowledgeable about art history, he is phenomenal, a great asset to your company. We really appreciate the fact that the tour is semi private with maximum of 8 people, it turned out only 2 of us for the day because January is low season for travelers. Alex was very kind , detailed and thorough with us. We learned a lot, gained knowledge during our 2.5 hour tour, what a great experience! Thanks to Alex with great appreciation! Best, Mandy XY Zhang

Informative tour of gallery highlights - I had a pleasant tour experience. Our guide Alex was fantastic - very punctual, polite, knowledgeable, and fun. The tour itself was well curated with introduction to 16 paintings in a chronological order. I thought it was very informative, and I wouldn’t have been able to appreciate these fine arts the same way if I were to go by myself.
