V&A with Private Guide a Must See Tour in London - This magnificent museum is massive in scale and lit is virtually impossible to see everything in one day, or even several days. You can find about anything of interest there which consists of a vast array of art, sculpture, pottery, jewelry, and so much more from all around the world and collected over many, many decades. Choosing to use a personal guide was the best decision we made, and our guide Robert was the absolute best guide we ever could have wished for. The three hours spent with him made our experience wonderful and extremely enlightening as well. Thank you Robert for a fabulous educational experience and when we return to London again to further explore the V&A we will definitely request Robert again. Best tour experience in London!

Having a guide keeps you... - Having a guide keeps you focused on your visit Doing the museum without a guide would be too overwhelming.

Do yourself a favor - The V&A is massive. Too much to be able to see you in a couple of hours by yourself. It really helped to have a knowledgeable tour guide who could show us some highlights and tell us stories about important things. Highly recommend.

Private Tour V & A - guided by Robert - Our private tour of the Victoria and Albert Museum with Robert was absolutely outstanding. He was friendly, warm and welcoming from the start, and his incredible depth of knowledge across every exhibition we visited was truly impressive. What made the experience even more special was his willingness to tailor the tour to our areas of interest. Robert uncovered so many unexpected treasures that we would never have found on our own, and the time simply flew by. It was a thoroughly enjoyable experience, and I would not hesitate to recommend Robert as a tour guide to anyone looking to make the most of their visit to the V&A. A truly memorable highlight of our time in London.

A spectacular museum made more fabulous! - Our tour of the Victoria & Albert Museum, with Robert Miller of Art Guides was the highlight of our 5 day trip to London. Robert’s depth of knowledge gave us a whole new perspective about what we were seeing in the museum. It made for a fabulous morning.

You need a guide to appreciate the treasures - A treasure trove that really needs a knowledgeable guide - and we had one! Robert Miller knew so many good stories and helped us understand the importance of what we were looking at. It is a monumental task and I wouldn’t have known how best to tackle it but we spent three productive hours, saw some of the highlights and know we need to go again, and again…oh and the shop is wonderful!
