A fully licensed, insured, Blue Badge Guide and art historian who loves his work. An expert overview of the highlights of the National Gallery of Art. At your pace, a private tour of up to eight people. I cover the highlights, including works by Van Gogh, Monet, Titian, Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, amongst others. I explain about their lives as well as the paintings. The tempestuous Caravaggio painting his own head on a platter. Why a famous work by Leonardo remains deliberately unfinished and Van Gogh's life reflected in the Sunflowers. We skip the line.

After reading such good reviews, we were surprised and disappointed by our experience of Anthony’s tour of the National Gallery. His anecdotes about the art were colored by his personal views and were at times needlessly offensive. Some of the info he presented seemed dubious, easily refuted by a bit of knowledge of art history and even contradicted by the information printed on the cards adjacent to the artwork. In the end, much of what he said we found to be inaccurate. We are sorry to say we would not recommend this tour.

Anthony has vast experience in the art history world, and sharp knowledge. He kept us engaged for the entire two hours.
