A wonderful way to see the National Gallery - Our guide Amanda was very knowledgeable and made sure we saw all of the exhibits we were interested in. She covered so much in the time we were together. If you only have a few hours to see the National Gallery, Amanda is the guide you want.

A Tour Guide Who Knew her stuff and her audience - Rebecca, our tour guide, was excellent. She injected humor into her tour, kept us moving through the many people who were at the Museum on the day of our tour, and was very knowledgeable. I enjoyed that she struck just the right tone with the group--there was one young person in the group (maybe 15-16), and she was able to pitch the presentation so that it reached him as well as the old people who were the rest of the group. We were able to see so many of the highlights of the National Gallery in a short period of time. It was a memorable learning experience--one that provided me with basics while inspiring me to learn more about the painters as well as the national gallery. Rebecca was excellent.

A great afternoon - Annemarie is very knowledgeable. She explains everything so it's easy to understand, she gives the background very well. She easily adapted to our interest while keeping the overall bigger picture in focus. It was 2.5 hours well spent

Best art gallery tour we have ever taken! - Leigh was an outstanding tour guide. Her enthusiasm and passion for the art was just infectious and she was able to allow us to appreciate periods of art, we had never previously been able to appreciate. The time flew by and in that time we covered an extensive part of the gallery. One of the best art gallery tours we have ever taken. Was sad when the tour ended! Highly, highly recommended!!

Outstanding, Personalized Tour - My husband and I scheduled a group tour but ended up being the only two people on the tour. Our guide, Leigh, was outstanding. She asked us our interests and then recommended a personalized tour. She shared a wealth of knowledge with us. We learned so much and gained an even deeper appreciation for the art work we saw. We highly recommend Babylon Tours and Leigh! Thank you Leigh!!

Way too expensive for what you get… - The tour included some interesting detail but the price was way too much for what you get.. just way too overpriced. My expectations for the amount of money it cost per person was very disappointing.
