My husband and I hired Maria to guide us through the National At Gallery during the Van Gogh exhibit and also the next day at the British Museum. She brought the history and the stories of the paintings and artists alive with her great depth and breadth of knowledge. We told her what we were interested in and she curated a tour just for our interests. She was a wonderful story teller with her knowledge of the various cultures, especially in the British Museum. We so enjoyed Maria and her charming personality, that we will definitely reserve her guidance when we return to London for another great holiday of museums and galleries.
We so enjoyed this tour! Luciana is such a lovely guide. She is knowledgeable, friendly, attentive and simply an extraordinary find! We look forward to seeing her again!
