Becky Made Modern Art Come Alive! - My husband tags along to modern art museums because I like to go. He doesn't necessarily like it. THIS TIME WAS DIFFERENT! Becky's knowledge & style of interacting with us about the paintings made all the difference. I loved it & my husband enjoyed it! Giving us insight into the artist & the phases the artists were going through was incredibly interesting or even the possible intent. We talked about our tour for hours afterwards & still have conversations about what a great experience.

Don’t miss a guided tour experience with an expert! - My husband and I took the guided tour with Ellie today. It was absolutely amazing: she is very knowledgeable and passionate about art history. We’ve been to a lot of museums but Ellie totally changed our perspective today. We finished the tour today more educated, knowledgeable and got a different perspective about contemporary, pop art. I can’t recommend taking this tour enough. Thank you Ellie for setting a great start for our trip to London!

Beyond Amazing! - Eleisha was simply delightful in every possible way! Besides her sunny disposition, she is extremely articulate and knowledgeable. Anyone who attends her tour will surely be enriched by her expertise. We highly recommend any tour she leads. Even if it’s a subject you might not necessarily choose, I would venture she’d make anyone a fan of it after she guides the tour. And, her passion for her subject is infectious! Thank you, Eleisha!

Friendly and interesting - So selective which is a relief as there is just so much in every direction. Our guide Matilda was knowledgeable and engaging and also challenged us at times to get involved with certain pieces...what do we feel...what else do we see?

Perfect in every way - Loved our private tour with Eleisha! She has an impressive resume and terrific knowledge of modern art that was engaging and relevant in today’s world. I could have toured with her all day.

Becky is the Best- MUST DO THIS TOUR - My daughter (an art history minor in NYC) and I cannot imagine having gone through the Tate Modern without Becky.She was so knowledgable and thoughtful in how she curated her tour of the Tate in a manner to engage us with the art she had carefully selected and constantly assessing how much more we would be able to take in without underestimating our interest in what she had to share with us. She let us think what we wanted to think and shared her thoughts. She dialogued with us meaningfully leaving us with a most full and satisfying experience at the Tate. I only wish we had done this tour with her prior to our self guided tour of the British Museum. We are grateful to have matched with her and been given the best experience we could ask for at the Tate.

This is the Tate Museum tourz - Matilda was very knowledgeable and super nice! A small group of 6 people, we went through exhibits of a very varied selection of paintings, sculptures, photography, installations and mixed media. The museum is big and it’s absolutely a great idea to get your own guide, even if you are an Arts Major like myself. There is just so much to see and so little time. Someone like Matilda, makes the visit more concise and time efficient. The tour lasted more than 2.5 hours. Great value!!
