An informative and fun tour - Stephanie was a great guide making the tour both informative and fun. The tour is not just about showing some pictures but rather putting them in perspective of the overall history of art and what that picture/ art represented in that history. A long tour but never a dull moment, strongly advised.

Gifted Guide - Steph was wonderful. She was full of knowledge and energy. She increased my interest in art. She explained every painting in depth and with great enthusiasm. She had us look beyond the paintings themselves. She encouraged us to express what we were thinking about each piece. She showed us how to look for clues and details that I would never have seen before this experience. I would encourage anyone to take a tour Steph is guiding .

A remarkable experience - My guide was Stephanie K and it so happened that I was the only customer in the activity, at this time. I cannot fathom (or wish for) a better visit. Stephanie was really well prepared and the visit had like an invisible conductive wire that ensured the sequence we followed made full sense. However the guidance was extremely vivid and interesting; Steph both covered a lot of ground on and about each of the pictures we saw but even made a few detours to show me something that was just mentioned or had arisen in our conversation.

Lively and enthusiastic! - This was exactly the type of tour we were looking for! Jake was our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable, answering well every question we asked. And not only knowledgeable, he delivered the information in a lively and enthusiastic way. He brought to life the paintings we studied, so we could understand what each artist was trying to convey.

Engaging and Knowledgeable - Absolutely fantastic. Our group of five was guided by Steph and I can’t say enough good things about her! She was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the museum with a deliberate plan and point of view. We saw many “showstoppers” but she linked them beautifully and handled very well a group with different backgrounds and knowledge. Worth every penny. Excellent.
