Hi there! Nice to meet you

Rosa

As an experienced Art Historian and guide, I would love to show you around London's galleries and museums. I am also an artist and run my own Art Consultancy so I live, breathe and love Art!

London is well known for the Queen, its world-class theatre and its extraordinary history - but did you know that it has some of the best museums in the world? The Rosetta Stone, Van Gogh's Sunflowers, Mark Rothko's The Seagram Murals and many hidden gems are waiting for you in London's galleries and museums.

I have lived in London for many years, Washington, Barcelona, Amsterdam and I am now back in London. I have lectured in most museums in Europe and worked at The National Gallery in London. I have experienced different cultures and speak several languages. I lecture in English, but I also guide in French and Italian.

Hope to see you soon!

I just had an amazing experience at the British Museum with Rosa as our guide. She totally tailored the tour for my daughter, who’s studying classics, and made everything super interesting. Rosa really knows her stuff and has a way of bringing history to life with her stories. Plus, she’s hilarious! We were all engaged the whole time, and she went above and beyond, even staying overtime to make sure we saw everything we wanted. It felt more like hanging out with a friend who’s really knowledgeable than just a regular tour. If you ever get the chance to tour with Rosa, do it! Thanks for a fantastic day, Rosa!Brings history to life

Our tour of the British museum with Rosa exceeded any expectations I could have had. Rosa is extremely knowledgable and deeply passionate about art and archeological history, which made for a fascinating tour as we covered a broad selection of galleries in the museum. She made sure to check in with us about our interests and any questions we had. She was extremely generous with her time, as she was invested in ensuring that we had a great experience with the museum. She is one of the best guides I've ever encountered!Fabulous

We had a perfect tour of the highlights of the British Museum with Rosa. She is extremely knowledgeable and funny and kept our family (2 adults, 2 teenagers) engaged for over 3 hours. We would highly recommend this type of tour to make the most of your visit to the British Museum. Wonderful Tour with Rosa!

Rosa kept even the most skeptical of us entertained and delighted. We were on the tail end of 10-day trip and my son (14) and niece (13) engaged throughout the museum, she listened to what they wanted to see and was incredibly generous with her time. I can't wait to go back and see even more of the museum!Fantastic Tour

I had the pleasure of meeting Rosa back in June for an individual guided tour of the National Gallery. It was a birthday treat to myself. But apart from that, I have a quest to better understand the work of some of the masters. I have no hesitation in saying that Rosa’s knowledge of paintings, and the way in which she articulates the subject with such passion is inspiring. She has a lovely, patient, approachable manner and I found her to be astute to my inquisitiveness. Having a good personal guide for a visit to an art gallery is, in my opinion, transformative. It brings the art to life. Thank you Rosa for making my day. It’s the least I can do to recommend you whole heartedly. James. Inspirational

Time just flew by as Rosa took us on a in depth tour of the great paintings of the Gallery. At time I felt she was talking to old friends in the paintings and drawings as she brought them to life with explanations and stories. Art History was intermingled with technical explanations as contexts and meanings were explained. My only regret is that time passed too quickly. In a wonderful way, Rosa has totally changed how I think of the National Gallery. We are truely privileged to have such a collection her in London.National Gallery pictures come to life.

We had a 2.5 hour private tour with Rosa of the British Museum and could have done many more hours! She was so interesting and informative about the exhibits we visited. Her sense of humor and insight was captivating. Highly recommend! A great overview of the museum for first-timers. Rosa is full of knowledge and passion

We had a wonderful afternoon with Rosa at the National Gallery. She ensured our group got to enjoy the pieces on our priority list while providing much useful information on the artist, their media, technique and times. I learned more in three hours with Rosa than in all my art history classes. Rosa, you rock! Afternoon with Rosa

Rosa is an excellent guide. She is very knowledgeable and dedicated to the history that surrounds these amazing artifacts. Were we able to stay longer in London, we would book another tour with her. She takes British Museum Guide
