Very good knowledge of history of art. Enough time to questions and see the paintings. Juste enough dates
Richard was fantastic. Very knowledgeable . Gained a great perspective on the history of the art. Highly recommend him!
National Gallery is a wonderful but overwhelming museum. This guided tour helped me seeing the highlights of the museum within 2 hours. Richard is a knowledgeable tour guide who can explain very well the art, as well as the historical context behind the paintings.
Fantastic private tour with Richard of the National Gallery. He is an art historian and really explained the paintings for the viewer. Great way to experience Museum, highlights of paintings from Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque and Impressionism. A Must do!
Richard was fantastic ! Very knowledgeable. Would have been lost without him
Incredibly helpful and informative. Excellent guide. The tour was very worthwhile and I highly recommend.
Richard was an incredible guide. So knowledgeable and engaging. He was very well-prepared to guide me through the museum with a well-thought out itinerary from 1200 to the Impressionists. He taught me so much more than I would have realized on my own.
An excellent intro to the Gallery and a walk through art history, Richard was really knowledgeable and pointed out so much detail that brought the artworks to life. A really good experience
Richard was charming, knowledgeable and informative. He led us through the galleries with a command of the collection and an orientation of progression of the artists. We enjoyed the entire experience!!
