Wonderfully insightful tour

5.00Karen's tour was very informative and provided a deeper appreciation of the Art Nouveau's influence on the development of the Underground, links we would not have made by reading the description of individual art pieces. Her enthusiasm and friendliness was particularly engaging and she depicted pieces in great detail while balancing a well-paced tour with comprehensive information. Shocked that this tour was free!

5.00We took the Art Deco exhibition poster tour. Karen was fantastic! She was extremely knowledgeable. I do think that this this type of tour is so very important to educate visitors about this incredible time and how London Transport pioneered this art form to enhance the populations mobility at such an important time in the country’s history. Hopefully this will inspire a new generation to do something similar.
Amazing Tour!

5.00A fabulous day at the London Transport Museum. As well as the focus on tranport we enjoyed a great guided tour of the Art Deco artwork associated with the advertising of the London underground in the 1920/30s. Completely free and so well delivered by Emily, a real highlight.
Beyond Art and Culture. Transport Art Tour was so much more than a regular visit

5.00My thanks to David Bashi. My mind was blown by the depth and meaning I found London Transport Museum's Tours. I had spontaneously joined a tour led by David. Best decision ever. The tour touched on so many subjects. David zoomed in and out on each piece with such enthusiasm, captured so eloquently the beauty of so many artefacts. I think Daniel has a rare gift in relating local art history simply and effectively. When pressed, David is able to unpack to further and further zoom in on details, seamlessy reaching any s degree of complexity.
Loved the poster exhibition

5.00I had a fantastic couple of hours at the museum. An depth history of London's transport network, with so much to look at and take in. I'd recommend the Art Deco poster tour, hosted by Suneel. What he didn't know about the exhibition wasn't worth knowing, it was informative and fascinating. Thanks to the gift shop team who helped me pick a souvenir poster, and doubled up as a tour guide of London too. I will be back to take advantage of my Year's free pass.
Fantastic tour!
