Matilda was exceptional. I learned a great deal and never lost interest. Illuminating is the best description of Matilda’s observations and factual tidbits (terrific). I really felt included and that what I thought had value. To say that Matilda is a gem is an understatement.

Alistair was a fantastic guide, and this was a truly special, curated tour of the gardens of Versailles. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the depth of history and detail he shared throughout the day. On the morning of our tour, we experienced heavy rain, and Alister was incredibly responsive to our concerns and questions. Fortunately, the weather cleared, and we were treated to a beautiful, sunny day. The tour does involve a significant amount of walking, but Alister thoughtfully planned well-timed coffee and lunch breaks, which made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. This was easily one of the best tours we’ve taken in Europe—highly recommended!

Matilda was so knowledgeable thorough and was able to create an experience that gave us not only a history of the Tate Modern but of each artist’s place in history and the meanings of their works of art. You could not do any better than Matilda. !

We had a two hour tour of this magnificent museum with our guide, Andi. It was just the right amount of time for Andi to select the highlights, including the dinosaur collection. We only had four in our group and that was perfect.

Becky was very knowledgeable and was attentive to our needs as husband was using a walking stick. We were taken to see a selection of artworks and it was through Becky’s entertaining and informative presentation we felt we have gained a real insight into each artist. Would highly recommend.

We've had a great experience. Not only Matilda waited for us while we were lost in the Tate looking for the meeting point, she also did it with a big smile. She introduced us to many paints and sculptures, showing a great passion, she also asked our opinion, making us feel comfortable enough to express our thoughts end feelings regarding art. An experiende we will repeat!
