The Best Art Tour Guide Ever!
Rosa is the best tour guide I have ever had and I have been on many tours of Europe’s great museums: the Louvre, the Prado, Villa Borghese …. She is so knowledgeable and down to earth with her presentations that our uneducated questions were answered respectfully and clearly. She also added so much information on how to interpret art works in our future travel. Do not hesitate to book her for your art history tour.

A Must for Any Music Lover Visiting London
We had an unforgettable walking tour of London’s 60s rock history with our fantastic guide, Tom. His passion and deep knowledge of the era brought every stop to life, from legendary venues to tucked-away gems you’d never find on your own.
We explored iconic locations like Ronnie Scott’s jazz club, the building where both Handel and Jimi Hendrix lived (talk about worlds colliding!), and the art store where Yoko Ono first met John Lennon. Standing outside the former Apple Records studio and visiting the home of Paul McCartney added even more depth and context to the stories of that revolutionary time.
Of course, no rock history tour would be complete without Abbey Road—and yes, we walked across that famous crosswalk and visited the studio itself. It felt surreal retracing the footsteps of legends.
His knowledge of The Who, Beatles, Hendrix, etc was fantastic and how it all collided within the streets and burrows of London.
Be scampered through the posh areas, seeing Fabergé eggs selling for $1,000’s to an area where someone threw out Yonko’s art thinking it was trash.
Tom’s storytelling made it all so vivid—he connected the dots between places, people, and moments that shaped not just London, but music history itself. Whether you're a lifelong fan or just curious about the era, this tour is a total highlight.

Spectacular Art Historian!
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.
