Beautiful walk through the history of painting

5.00Joey our guide emphasized he importance of the “context” (the story about the creation of the art work and the artist) . He selected a representative work for each “segment” in art history -from Middle Ages to the renaissance, baroque , up to the modern times of the impressionists, highlighting the exquisite great masters richly represented in this wonderful collection. Thank you, highly recommended tour!

5.00Tara was really charming and professional. She managed to gave us a very deep insight into almost 200 years of art history in 2 hours, showing she masters the topic and surely many years of experience on it. The tour was interesting and funny but deep and with lots and lots of details that one will miss going on their own. Absolutely amazing ! All these details and references will stay in our memories for sure. Thanks a lot Tara🙏☺️
Highly recommend!
