We loved our guide. She was very knowledgeable and interesting. She showed us what we were interested in. She went at a good pace and made sure we saw the key works of art.

Stephen was interesting, knowledgeable, and funny. He taught us alot. I would recommend him for this tour - or any tour. He was Great!

My wife and I truly enjoyed our tour of the National Gallery. At the beginning of the tour, we were concerned that our guide appeared to be skipping several pieces that seemed interesting to us. But in the end, you come to realize that the gallery is enormous. The only way for a guide to show off the entire gallery is to stop at a few highlights in the different sections. Afterward, there was plenty of time to go back to rooms after the tour that we wanted to explore further. I wanted to highly recommend our guide, Stephen Mead. You could tell he had a passion for the pieces in the gallery and was more than happy to show them off for us. Also, I think he was able to adapt to showing us the pieces that we would be interested in seeing. Prior to my visit, I was wondering whether or not it was worth it to pay for a guide to a free museum. Having completed the tour, I am positive that without a guide I would not have seen more than half of the exhibits and would have missed the insight of the artists that a guide could provide. I don't think I would have appreciated the gallery as much as I do now and look forward to returning. If you love art, be ready to be amazed at not only the quantity and quality of the pieces but also the unbelievable access you can get to them. The National Gallery and the Walking tour is something my wife and I will remember fondly for years to come.

We loved our tour of the National Gallery of Art. Amanda our wonderful guide made it possible to see and appreciate so many amazing exhibits! She was knowledgeable, extremely clear and well spoken. Amanda really made the experience one of the best tours we have ever taken.

Annemarie greeted us with a smile, she was interested in what brought us to the museum and immediately started a great tour . Annemarie was professional, knows about the museum, its history and of course shared with us her knowledge of the paintings we saw. Annemarie included insights that relate to us now as well as historical facts that gave depth to the art. Often Annemarie enhanced our tour with additional pictures from her iPad, she was very polite and appropriate with other groups and led us smoothly through crowded areas.We left the tour enriched and eager to return.

The host of this tour is fabulous and funny. We had a fabulous time!! A lot of details you may not het on other tours. I appreciated how they shared facts that interested all participants. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you!

The tour was so great. I learned so much about the artworks and their history and details and my tour guide Annmarie was so educational.

Great tour, we got to see works throughout the museum and Annemarie did an amazing job adding context and insight.

Richard was terrific -- energetic, knowledgable, and interesting. He made a point of connecting with each of us, and his stories were very entertaining. We learned things you'd never otherwise learn at the museum!

Out guide was Bess, she was very informative, obviously enjoyed guiding us throughout the museum, and had interesting back stories to various art work.

My wife and I booked this tour and ended up being only participants. That was lucky for us as it gave us more direct communication with our guide Annemarie. We definitely felt it was worth it to do this tour as Annemarie made sure we hit all the highlights. She was able to speak in detail about each piece from Dutch Masters to more modern art. Very informative and the time flew by. Would highly recommend this tour.

Tour guide was very informative and knowledgeable, and was well informed on artists and locations within museum.

Richard was wonderful and I loved listening to his stories and history about the museum and it's works. An excellent tour. Learning about the pieces is a so much more rewarding experience

Donna was terrific. Very knowledgeable and brought lots of energy to the tour. It was a very positive experience!!

We had a great tour of the National Gallery of Art with Donna. As a person who hasn’t had much art education, I greatly appreciated how Donna gave the back story of each artist and linked it to their work. Donna was a great tour guide and I recommend her with great enthusiasm.

Richard was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant. A terrific tour! A tour guide is really important at so large a museum!

We had Leigh as our tour guide and couldn’t be happier. She based the tour around what we wanted to learn and see, which was super helpful. Leigh’s knowledge of the paintings, the painters, and painting techniques was amazing.

It is a great museum, one of the best in the world. Our guide had a excellent knowledge of it. It was a wonderful experience.

Leigh was our guide touring. She has done an excellent job for us. We did enjoy her tour very much so. We’ve Educated by a lot from Leigh in this shorter period time! ❤️PROs:)) -Highly recommended! -Has a lot of knowledge about the topics! -Very Entertaining! 💜CONs:(( -Needed More times to explore on different artists! -No restroom break! -zoom through a bit fast for someone who has less knowledge about certain arts!

All the classic collection (Rembrandt, Degah, etc.). Richard clearly described not just content of exposition, but history of its creation. Fontaine Gallery
