This museum is too big... - This museum is too big for one tour, but our guide hit the high spots we were interested in and the three hours went by in a blink. His knowledge was impressive, but it was his style that made the outing memorable. He did not push or condescend, but told facts about the exhibits that made them much more accessible. The place is so overwhelming, you could literally spend days reading all the placards and still not understand fully what you are looking at. With the guide, you were able to cut through a lot of the noise and just get the essence of the exhibit.

London Highlight - Our private guided tour of the Victoria & Albert Museum was top notch. Our guide, Robert, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative. He is also a very nice man and brings the museum to life with his enthusiasm. The museum itself is gorgeous and full of interesting art and artifacts. We hope to return again to this incredible site and to tour other places in London under Robert’s expert tutelage.

A hugely satisfying tour from a deeply knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide - Robert Miller, from ArtGuides, had my wife and me in thrall for three hours as he guided us through selected treasures in multiple galleries of the V&A. Charming and articulate, he focused on specific items, identifying and explaining exquisite artistry and masterful details whose significance we would simply not have appreciated without his commentary. Added to which, despite (presumably) having given this tour on many previous occasions, he continually showed his own great enthusiasm and admiration for the works on which he focused and why they are so special. We highly recommend others to take a tour with him.

A Truly Exceptional Guide! - Robert’s passion for art/history was contagious, and he brought the exhibits to life with fascinating stories. The experience felt personal and enriching. Highly recommend booking a tour with him if you want to go beyond just reading the plaques.
