Thank you all the way from London !

Nataly is a wonderful guide! We had a tour with her at the beginning of November. Her knowledge of art, wit, sense of humor is incredible. She brings to life not only the stories behind the paintings, but also the history of the period, very fine details about the artists lives, what made them who they are, which truly makes the experience not only unforgettable but also relatable. I wish we could spend more time with her. Please do more tours!

We enjoyed - both groups!

Both of our tour guides showed up on time. We had a big group so our teenage kids were with one guide and we were with the other guide. The kids loved the tour. They can’t stop talking about how much they learned. Thank you for giving my kids the experience of a lifetime!

Exceptional guide!!

Nataly was absolutely incredible! She wasn’t just knowledgeable about the artists and their works — she truly brought the stories behind impressionism to life. Instead of rushing us through highlights, she explained how the movement evolved, connecting everything in such an engaging way.She also had a great sense of humor and made sure everyone felt included, even those who joined late. The way she ended the tour — with an inspiring reflection — honestly moved me. It felt like so much more than just a museum visit.Nataly shared a Van Gogh quote that stuck with me: "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint', then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." Hearing that while standing in front of Van Gogh’s paintings gave me chills.Thank you, Nataly — this was one of the most inspiring tours I’ve ever taken!
