Excellent museum tour. Ben was very informative and took us on an excellent tour of some of the most beautiful paintings at the Art Institute.

Joe was a sensational tour guide. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable of all the art and architecture in the Art Institute but he accompanied the explanation with interesting and clever anecdotes. It’s obvious why he’s taught Art History at prestigious Universities for so many years. Can’t wait to experience another tour at this amazing Museum.
