Joe led us through the Impressionists and so much more with as much detail as the group wants to dive into. Pick a few of your favorites and Joe will fill in the history and background of the artist, style, period, etc. Very worthwhile and fun. Highly recommend!

Gave Joe 5 stars because that was the most listed. They really understated this tour. Two and a half hours with an enthusiastic art professor! We love the great works and this was quite a fine celebration of them. This should have been a premium tour.

Our original guide tested positive for COVID. The tour company was great to reschedule with another guide. Joe was incredibly knowledgable and able to personalize the tour based on our interests. He was an outstanding guide! Having the knowledge of the artists, styles, and history of the time really added details that made the trip through an outstanding museum even better. As someone who has visited the Art Institute several times, I was worried that this wouldn’t add much. I was very wrong. Joe made this a great experience and we learned so much.Rebecca_R

We booked a semi-private tour through Babylon and it was worth every cent! Mr. Joe was fabulous. Request him! He took us on a tour and answered all of our questions. His knowledge of the art was incredible. We could go in a room and choose something we are interested in and he would tell us all about the artist and the piece and just tons of interesting facts. At one point a security guard was listening to him and later saw us and asked about him. She said that he was the best she ever heard ( as a expert tour guide). Mr. Joe made it fabulous. The art museum was great. It was difficult to figure out how to get from one area to another ( when we were on our own) but we eventually found most everything.deanmZ6508OU
