Impressionist and renaissance art were highlights for us at the National Gallery!

Published on Jan, 2025

Our guide, whose name is escaping me sorry, is a history PhD student and therefore very knowledgeable about European and American history over a wide period of time. Her art knowledge was impressive as well and she was very personable as she described the various renaissance, impressionist art etc and answered all our questions. We were fortunate in that she was able to spend some extra time with us in the impressionist rooms, beyond the allotted time. We learned a lot and the art was overwhelming!

Excellent overview of the National Gallery

Published on Dec, 2024

Excellent overview of the art on view at the National Gallery of Art. The tour guide had an extensive knowledge of art history. She presented every artist in the historic context and the style of painting at the time of the artist and how the styles had changed over the centuries. It’s a great museum to visit to see the best of every art period

Great tour of the NGA

Published on Nov, 2024

If you want a guided tour of the highlights of the National Gallery of Art, then this tour is great! Our guide Claudia gave us a lot of valuable information about the artworks we saw. She took us on a tour that seemed to guide us through the different time periods and styles of art, while picking individual pieces that captured the key concepts and artists that are most important and popular. I got a lot out of it and it was a very fun time!

Thanksgiving walk through the National Gallery

Published on Nov, 2024

The Da Vinci portrait Of Ginevra is worth visiting. No crowds. Beautiful galleries. Our tour guide was well informed and enthusiastic.

Great tour

Published on Nov, 2024

Claudia was a great your guide and gave a thorough yet digestible history of key painters and sculptors of art history. She did a great job explaining the significance and development of different art styles and how they were influenced by previous trends but also made innovations. She picked key world of art to illustrate these innovations and provided interesting stories and personal insights into the lives of the artists. Overall a very informative and enjoyable tour - well worth the time!
