Truly informative but enjoyable! - This was hands down the best museum tour we have ever had. It ended up just being my partner and I so we had a private experience. The tour guide Christina (apologies if I have the name misspelled) was engaging, asked lots of thought provoking questions to enhance our viewing, and selected a great set of paintings to view. Would highly recommend!

Kristina was wonderful and very oassionate and knowledgeable - Kristina was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about art history and was passionate about each of the artists. It was a very personal tour with insight into the artist life, including triumphs and struggles. It was interesting to bridge philosophy, religion, and art together, and she did it so beautifully.

Good mixture of historical background, explanation of the art work and humor. I highly recommend this tour.
