Perfect Tour - Our tour of the National Gallery was amazing. Steph was knowledgeable and full of personality. She answered all of our questions expertly, and pointed out details of the art, the artists, and the history of the times that we were unaware of. I would highly recommend this tour and Stephanie as a guide.

Informative and enjoyable - There were 5 of us with Matilda. She was an excellent guide. She spoke clearly and made sure we all heard her messages. She explained much about the paintings, only a professional art historian would know. It was very enjoyable and I would recommend her services.

A fantastic tour by a real art historian and great storyteller - This was the perfect tour for us. Our guide, Steph, is a bona fide art historian who was able to give fascinating background and context for the paintings she selected for our tour. We saw all of the gallery’s highlights and a few of the works that Steph thought were especially interesting. I highly recommend this tour, especially if Steph is the guide!

Worth it! - What a fabulous small group tour. Stephanie was our tour guide and it was a joy to be in her company on a fascinating and informative tour of the best of the best with loads of background on each work. If she were a professor, I would take her class! Thanks Steph!
