I tried to call the phone number to cancel, out of service number. Numerous texts all ignored. I had to cancel. Was bilked out of $300 I am furious.

As impressive as the art might be, it was the buildings, the setting, the landscaping that blew me away.
We also ate in their top rated restaurant. The food was marvelous. The service was just to swift for my taste. No one told them we were in a rush, nor were they that crowded. We got our excellent Salad Caprese very shortly after we ordered it. The minute we finished, they brought our next course. We had no time to digest the caprese. We left over/ took home half of our main course (bronzino). Pity they did not seem to understand the concept of a leisurely meal.

Ellen was a phenomenal guide - her knowledge of the Getty, the art and the relevant history is extraordinary. She has a lively passion for the art and was engaging with my two teenagers. She wove in fascinating facts, asked engaging questions, and even came armed with drumsticks to 'play' the marble tiles that form the exterior of the building. We left wising we'd had more time. Fabulous experience!
