      Tom is Terrific!

      "Tom took myself and my 19 year old daughter on a Doctor Who tour around London, and it was the highlight of our already amazing trip! Tom’s wealth of knowledge and fun trivia blew us both away, and we left with a deeper understanding of how England’s history, the show locations, and symbolism all meshed together. He’s a great hang, too, and went well over the 2 hours we booked. Do yourself a huge favor and take one of his tours…it will stimulate and entertain on many levels!"

      Guided by a true art expert

      "We had the pleasure to be guided through some of the most interesting pieces of the National Gallery. Rosa’s expertise and great storytelling capabilities allowed us to gain a new perspective on paintings we knew while helping us to discover new ones. She’s truly a master of her craft and getting guided from a professional that collaborated many years with the Gallery was an honour. If you’re looking for an afternoon spent studying the beautiful pieces of the collection, guided by a passionate and knowledgeable art historian, we can’t recommend Rosa enough."

      Rosa is EXCEPTIONAL

      "I have been on dozens of private tours. Rosa was by far one of the best ever! Knowledgable. Friendly, yet professional and always interested in MY interest. I believe the woman knew something about everything! The staff in the museums knew her. We took our time and really studied the artwork. On a hot summer day, she took me for a drink in the members cafe, which was very kind. I would give her an 11 if they would let me!"

      Best of British Museum Tour with Rosa

      "If you only have a limited time to see the British Museum this is the tour for you! Rosa made it possible for us to see the highlights even highlights that surprised us and we did not expect. We really enjoyed her passion for art history and gained so much information. The museum is overwhelming and without a guide it would have been very difficult to have seen what she showed us. Thank you so much!"

      Great Story Teller at The British Museum!

      "My group had a fantastic experience with Rosa at the British Museum. Rosa was very knowledgeable of the wide variety of exhibits at the Museum. She also did a fantastic job sprinkling in stories that made the exhibits "come to life"! I would certainly take another tour with Rosa."

      An excellent experience

      "I attended the private tour with a 15-year old son who’s not really into arts and art history - and Rosa was absolutely fantastic! Even my son found her very interesting and amusing (he tried to hide it). We loved every minute of it, learnt a lot and the three hours just flew by. I definately recommend - the National gallery with Rosa was the highlight of our London trip!"
