Leigh wins the Tony. Learned, bright and witty. Her knowledge of art was most impressive. It was my son’s introduction to art galleries and he can’t wait to go back.
these tours are five-star!

both our guides, meghan and richard, were excellent. i was so glad i paid the money for a semi-private tour of the museum and national gallery. my granddaughter and i enjoyed every minute of the tours. my only recommendation is that more time be allotted to lunch. we practically had to inhale our sandwiches!
Donna was awesome!

We had such a great time in this tour we wished we would have booked some other museum tours with Donna. She was very knowledgeable especially of the Art Museum. We would never have gotten so much out of it without her.
