5.00This was an excellent tour for true art lovers! Our guide’s extensive knowledge was so impressive. I can’t imagine getting through the massive treasure trove that is the Wallace Collection without Robert’s expert guidance. And the Frans Hals painting alone is worth the price of admission. Loved it all!
A joy !

5.00If you haven’t found this little jewel you’re missing out , the collection is expansive and diverse . The quality is overwhelmingly and artwork is incredible. Such a wonderful array of breathtaking art and the range ,incredible! From Armour to wellington such skill . Also I would remind anyone to enjoy the building , on its own it would be worth a visit but with such wonders , amazing . My recent visit coincided with the Grayson Perry exhibition and whilst it’s a completely different beast it’s sits very well with the collection drawing inspiration and parallels , yet very much his own work Fantastic

5.00Absolutely incredible! Robert Miller provided an unforgettable tour of the Wallace Collection in London. His profound knowledge of art and history, coupled with his engaging storytelling, brought each piece to life in a way that was both educational and entertaining. Robert’s passion for the collection was evident in every detail he shared, making the experience not just a tour, but a journey through time. His ability to connect with our group, answer all our questions, and offer insightful commentary was truly impressive. Robert’s tour was a highlight of our trip and left us with a deeper appreciation for the Wallace Collection. Highly recommended!
Wonderful!

5.00The ceramic and furniture portions we liked the most as this was very well done. The guide told us the technical aspects of how the pieces were formed. As a person who has casual knowledge of this greatly enhanced our interest in these objects. He gave a history of the collection as well as the house. He selected various pieces in depth. He had us see the arms which was well done even though we did not have much interest. The few paintings showed us the history as well details of the paintings. This was a wonderful experience which we enjoyed immensely and were able to keep our attention. The guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The only criticism is it would have been nice to have had a short break in the three hours.
Beautiful house and art collection

5.00Beautiful collection of art, a pearl you must have seen. The house is very nice it tells you what about the people who just t have there in another time. So nice that we can still enjoy it now. Worth dedicating a visit to this it is also not "too big" compared to other museums, although I will definitely go back here because if you want to see everything carefully you need several visits.
Enjoy beautiful works for free
