Awesome tour of the National Gallery of Art, DC - My guide, Paul Gleason was friendly, thoughtful and approachable. He guided me through the National Gallery of Art with ease and impressive knowledge. He during our tour we covered many artists works but Paul presented easily and at my pace so I didn’t feel overwhelmed (that can easily happen when you are surrounded by vast numbers of works of art). Paul communicated the artists style, the artists intent and the historical significance of either the period of the painting or the effect the art had on the current culture. Many times I felt (what could have been) the artists actual emotion on the canvas. I throughly enjoyed my afternoon at the gallery and highly recommend Paul as a guide.

Wonderful experience with Meghan! - Highly recommend Meghan. She was very knowledgeable and fun. Had soooo much information about the works of art, artists, donors of various art works, etc. We learned a ton! And with a limited amount of time, Meghan was able to hit the highlights of what we should see among the vast expanse of artwork on display.
