Traveler Reviews
Excellent, passionate and knowledgeable guide!
However, we didn’t receive an email with joining instructions. We waited inside the main entrance by the ticket office but the guide was waiting outside. The front of house staff didn’t know anything about the tour and couldn’t help. We had to contact your live chat to track the group down, by which time my husband had lost patience and gone off to get a coffee. Shame because he missed an excellent tour. .

I highly recommend this tour, Steph, our guide, was very knowledgeable and entertaining, she covered the works and also the life/social condition of women artists we looked at. She also covered some of the important artists that are not collected by the NG but that need mentioning in the period we covered, we also discussed the future of women artists (things are getting better!). It was extremely interesting and I will definitely try another of their tours - women of Bloomsbury looks good!
