A great taste of the National Gallery’s collection - When on limited time in London and wanting to visit the National Gallery I highly recommend this tour. You could spend all day at the gallery and not really know what to spend time looking at the most, tiring yourself out. Matilda walked us through some of the most important pieces accompanied by stories, rich knowledge and genuine enthusiasm for the paintings themselves. Matilda was excellent. I spent a little time further after the tour finished as a bonus and was thoroughly satisfied, learning a lot about the collection.

Art comes alive - Sheldon is a rock star. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour with him. His commentaries made the art come alive. I highly recommend the tour, you get a taste of the National Gallery without being overwhelmed as there is so much to see. Sheldon really gives you an in depth view of art and the individual pieces. Excellent.
