One of the best museum tours ever. - Paul is a phenomenal guide. He is so knowledgeable about the museum, about art, about the back stories behind the paintings, and as an artist himself is able to really help you see what is special about each work.

National Gallery of Art Tour - Enjoyed my tour of the National Gallery of Art immensely with Leigh. Her details were like the art exhibits, extraordinarily detailed and expressive. She guided us through the Renaissance art to modern day 20th century and contemporary art. Her presentation was informative, funny, and will whet your appetite to learn even more!

Best way to tour the Nation's Art Museum - With a museum the science, it's tough to hit the major hotspots and make it work. But Anne Marie did it! With each stop coming and with every hallway we walk through, she brought art to life. Highly recommend.
