David was amazing! We had a private tour and he was so passionate and knowledgeable. I was honestly surprised how much I enjoyed.
I got an excellent tour done by Ahid. So knowledgeable about Art Deco explaining it all very well. I am definetly hooked now on the topic !
Suneel took us through a stunning 30 minutes journey of how London transport advertise tube journey towards the general public since the 1920s. We learned the movement from art noveau to art deco as well as society movement towards more freedom for women reflected throughout the poster."s. Highly recommended to those who appreciate art snd culture
