Private Guided Tour of The Victoria and Albert Museum – January 2025
Wow! A Great Experience. Our tour guide, Robert, was outstanding! Truly a walking encyclopaedia – but he conveyed much more than facts. He told STORIES that brought the artifacts to life and helped us appreciate the times they represented. We were captivated and amazed, and learned SO much! I would give this tour ten stars if I could. And I hope to return to the V&A next time I am in London.

Private Guided Tour of The Wallace Collection - - December 2024
Inspiring, informative and engaging. Truly professional art historian with knowledge that was not constricted to specific items. I really liked that, apart from obvious highlights, he pointed our interests into pieces that otherwise would not command our attention.

Private Guided Tour of The Victoria and Albert Museum - December 2024
Exceptional tour of the V & A. We saw an extensive array of items on display at the V & A. Our favorites were the sculptures, jewelry and the Chinese lacquer table and other Chinese artEifacts. Robert was a knowledgeable guide and we never would have enjoyed the experience nearly as much without his insight.

Private Guided Tour of The Victoria and Albert Museum - November 2024
A Fantastic Museum Tour. Whether you are an art professional, an aficionado, or simply interested in learning about art, this private tour is a wonderful and interesting experience. The museum itself is beautiful and well laid out, and its collections represent art from all corners of the world, including sculpture, textiles, china and pottery, and paintings. Our guide, Robert Miller, was outstanding. He is clearly very knowledgeable about the V&A. Even if you’re not sure what you want to see, Robert will give you a comprehensive introduction to the museum and some of its most important pieces.

Amazing experience. Robert was my art tour guide in the British Museum. It’s a surprisingly wonderful experience for that entire 3 hours. He is passionate and knowledgeable about his work. I wish I could spend more time with him in other museums this time. Will definitely book my future trip with him.

Best tour in London. This was the best tour we did our entire time in London. Robert was engaging, knowledgeable, and made the 3 hours we spent with him fly by. We never would have been able to navigate the Victoria & Albert Museum on our own.

Private Guided Tour of The British Museum - September 2024
Outstanding Tour Guide. One of the Best Guides We Have Ever Had. Robert is a phenomenal tour guide. He is passionate about art and artifacts. His curating skill made the tour an A+ experience. He told a profoundly interesting background story for each of the twenty or so objects he featured. The British museum was crowded, but we hardly noticed it since we were so engaged in listening to his information.

Must See. Robert was an amazing guide! The time flew by! His enthusiasm for history really came through. Travelled with another adult, a 21 year old, and a 13 year old and we all raved about the experience. Would definitely recommend!

Private Guided Tour of The Victoria and Albert Museum - July 2024
It was absolutely fantastic! This was a company activity and it's always difficult to find something that everyone will enjoy. All 5 of us loved it! Robert is the most incredible guide, really bringing history to life around the world and over 100's of years. He covered so much ground (literally) in the time, allowed us to frequently ask questions - injected humour and little stories into his descriptions of objects or about a particular artist. This is a tour not to be missed. We'll definitely be booking again.

A Captivating Journey Through Art with Robert. Absolutely incredible! Robert provided an unforgettable tour of the Wallace Collection in London. His profound knowledge of art and history, coupled with his engaging storytelling, brought each piece to life in a way that was both educational and entertaining. Robert’s passion for the collection was evident in every detail he shared, making the experience not just a tour, but a journey through time. His ability to connect with our group, answer all our questions, and offer insightful commentary was truly impressive. Robert’s tour was a highlight of our trip and left us with a deeper appreciation for the Wallace Collection. Highly recommended!

Private Guided Tour of The British Museum - July 2024
Marvelous Tour of the British Museum. Robert was an amazing guide. He shared his wealth of knowledge with us. We will never observe art in a museum in the same way again. He taught us the intricacies of major works of art and made those pieces come to life for us. I highly recommend Robert. In addition to being an outstanding guide, he is very kind. He made sure that my husband, who has mobility issues, had a wheelchair and pushed him throughout the museum. Book with Robert and you will be delighted with your tour.

Fantastic tour to the highlights of National Gallery. My tour guide was Robert and he was fantastic. Not only could I book this on the same day as the tour, but it is was incredibly informative and fun and entertaining. Totally

made the most of our wee three hours in the enormous museum. One of the best guided

Excellent! Robert, our guide was extremely enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He showed us a selection from each area of the collection and was very interesting. Robert’s enthusiasm was so infectious, I would certainly recommend the tour as I went with 3 others who were not great art enthusiasts but they found the Wallace Collection and history very interesting.

Robert gave us an insightful and comprehensive tour of the National Portrait Gallery which was both fascinating and educational. His stories and nuggets of information about both the sitters in the portraits and of the artists made me look at portraits in a completely different way. Would highly recommend Robert if you are looking for Gallery and Museum tours.

Robert was the perfect guide. The Victoria and Albert is an overwhelming museum and he made it accessible as he taught us about the museum as a whole and about specific pieces in the collection. Meaningful, memorable and he made the most of the three hours we had to tour the museum. We will book again when we return to London. And we will tell our friends how great the experience was.

Private Guided Tour of The Victoria and Albert Museum - April 2024
Awe-inspiring introduction to the Victoria and Albert Museum. The Victoria and Albert Museum is a vast reservoir, a collection that spans centuries and subjects and styles and media. We knew we needed someone to help us without being utterly overwhelmed. After reading multiple reviews we booked Robert. This was an excellent decision. He was focused but edited our tour it so that we could understand how and why this was such a magnificent showcase of some of the world's masterpieces. He has a really interesting background and a thorough knowledge of his subject so our hours with him flew by. Our only disappointment was that we didn't have more time. We'll be back.

Best decision! Best decision of my trip to book this tour! Robert was absolutely delightful, incredibly organized, and took the time to collaborate to ensure I saw what interested me specifically. Was such a great tour I was confident to go back later in the week on my own to see more items (you could easily spend a week at the V&A!).

The Only Way to Visit Museums. Our guide was first class. Interesting, humorous but focused on the pace and information, provided in a clear and concise way. Top notch and well worth the expense. I will do this at all venues Robert offers.

Robert's enthusiasm and love of history and passion for the collection was palpable. The Rosetta Stone, Elgin Marbles, the collection and the setting, with each room unfolding onto another treasure trove was amazing. HIs precise knowledge of each object and its relevance and provenance enhanced the journey for me. I would recommend him unreservedly.

This tour is a 10! We were blown away by our guide Robert’s knowledge, enthusiasm, story-telling, and overall passion for the art. The three-hour tour flew by and for hours after, we walked and talked about it. We highly recommend this tour—and feel assured that the positive experience would transfer to other museums.

Take this tour! You won't be disappointed. We had a wonderful time in the V&A with our guide Robert! The museum would be very overwhelming without a guide, but with Robert in charge, we were able to focus on the special pieces of art and the stories within (most of them are items we would've just passed by without knowing their significance!) This tour made our experience so much better and very special. I highly, highly recommend.

Private Guided Tour of The Victoria and Albert Museum - November 2023
An Afternoon To Remember. Robert was amazing, this is very obviously his passion. He had so much to tell us, and was keen to tailor our private tour to our interests. His narrative told a story, linking sculptures and artwork to history, with stories of which artists/sculptors influenced/taught who. We talked about where original pieces of artwork were still kept and when hearing of our planned future trips he was keen to give us things to look out for. 3 hrs of the history of artworks that flew by so quickly, and it was a tour to suit all levels of interest. Thank you Robert for a memorable afternoon.

What a phenomenal experience! I will never again wish to tour a museum without the guidance of a knowledgeable professional. The only codicil is that the tour guide must be as good as Robert. He provides a very high bar for anyone to follow. I am so grateful to have had this experience, as was the rest of our group.

Robert was absolutely amazing! He is so knowledgeable and entertaining weaving a thread through the vast collection at the V&A. Three hours is a very short time amidst this monumental collection of art and artifacts, but Robert managed to give me a great introduction to various exhibits and point me to the most outstanding and unique pieces while tying it all together historically. I am so grateful I was able to spend this time with Robert. I would give him 10 stars if able!

Great Intro to an Extraordinary Collection. Robert did an amazing job of sharing some of the highlights of this extraordinary museum. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history of the museum and the collection and I learned a great deal. The 3 hours flew by and it felt like we'd just barely started to scratch the surface; I look forward to going back.

Absolutely Fantastic. Robert took our group of 4 on a private tour around the V&A and we learned more than we could have ever expected. He's incredibly knowledgeable, but conveys this knowledge in a way which is engaging and easy to digest.He's very approachable, very pleasant, and makes 3 hours fly by. No matter what your background, or your existing knowledge level on the arts, you're in safe hands with Robert. We couldn't recommend him highly enough, and will definitely be going on other tours with him in the future. Absolutely fabulous.

We will be booking with Robert again.
