Customer Reviews
The tour added so much to the visit to the museum. Our tour guide was an art student and her insight into the paintings that we viewed really enhanced the experience. I highly recommend seeing the museum with this tour!
Our guide was an amazing story teller, combining both history and art perfectly. We made a relationship with each painting, from Degas’ dancers to Renoir’s bursting scenes.
The depth of our guide’s expertise in Impressionist and Post-Impressionist art was just amazing. We took in so much with no pressure to hurry. Highly, highly recommend!
