5.00Our tour of the Tate Modern was excellent. Becky L made the entire experience worth every penny. She was personable and engaging....asking us our opinions to then discuss. This made us a part of the tour rather than just listening to an art expert opine about the art. Highly recommend Babylon tours and Becky L if you are looking to learn about the art in this wonderful museum.

5.00I have always been a bit daunted and confused by most Modern Art. I also usually have a museum tolerance of about an hour. After that, I find I'm walking past masterpieces without appreciating them because I'm overloaded. Our guide Matilda changed that for me. She was wonderful - very knowledgeable, passionate and interesting. We spent over two hours on the tour and I couldn't believe I was game for more. Matilda was able to help me better understand and appreciate the magnificent Modern art at the Tate. I recommend her without reservation!
Awesome tour for a family with teenagers. Jeremy was terrific.

5.00Jeremy was a fantastic guide. We brought our teenagers along and they really enjoyed his sense of humour and how he catered some of the tour to their age group. The length of the tour was just right for our kids.

5.00I have used Babylon Tours three times, and each experience has been worth the money due to the high quality. The tours are truly immersive. Ellie was a fantastic guide; her passion for the museum was evident. I appreciated her deep understanding of the subject matter and the detailed insights she provided. Additionally, she sent me recommendations for further reading, as I am very interested in art history. My husband and I are still discussing our visit to Tate Modern, and we thoroughly enjoyed and valued our time there.
Tate Modern - exceptional tour.

5.00Matilda 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.
