After reading such good reviews, we were surprised and disappointed by our experience of Anthony’s tour of the National Gallery. His anecdotes about the art were colored by his personal views and were at times needlessly offensive. Some of the info he presented seemed dubious, easily refuted by a bit of knowledge of art history and even contradicted by the information printed on the cards adjacent to the artwork. In the end, much of what he said we found to be inaccurate. We are sorry to say we would not recommend this tour.

Christopher_L

Anthony has vast experience in the art history world, and sharp knowledge. He kept us engaged for the entire two hours.

RON_F

Anthony was a very knowledgeable guide who brought the paintings to life. Great insight into the artist and the time that they painted. Worth every penny!

Stephen_F

Our guide, Anthony Matthews, was prompt; showed us things we specifically requested; and was very knowledgeable. I recommend him highly.

Gabriela_C

I do not recommend. I'm not an expert but the guide had no idea what he was talking about. He made up information about the artists and the paintings.

Allison_G

Saw some of the greats. Heard some amazing backstories about them. Had the most fascinating afternoon. Anthony was positively marvelous and I will never go to another museum in London without him.

Absolutely amazing. Anthony really knows his stuff and takes you through the history of art. He was able to answer specific questions with mastery. Would recommend all day long.
