Do Not Recommend This Tour - After reading such good reviews, we were surprised and disappointed by our experience of Anthony’s tour of the National Gallery. His anecdotes about the art were colored by his personal views and were at times needlessly offensive. Some of the info he presented seemed dubious, easily refuted by a bit of knowledge of art history and even contradicted by the information printed on the cards adjacent to the artwork. In the end, much of what he said we found to be inaccurate. We are sorry to say we would not recommend this tour.

Would not recommend - I do not recommend. I'm not an expert but the guide had no idea what he was talking about. He made up information about the artists and the paintings.
