Kathy was a top notch guide for my adult grandaughter, who is an archeologist, and me...she is highly educated and qualified, and tailored her tour to our interests in a highly personable manner...couldn't have been better, we truly "lucked out" that afternoon!! We highly recommend Kathy as an excellent tour guide, and would love to see her again, anytime...
Kathy is a truly outstanding tour guide. She gave us a perfect taste of the vast V&A without overwhelming us. She loves the museum, and it shows.
Private tour guide is the only way to visit museums. Not only does the guide highlight exhibits in the museum but it’s the background and history that they bring to the exhibits. Our guide Kathy was extremely knowledgeable, warm and engaging.
Loved the museum and it made it so much more enjoyable with a very intelligent guide for the small group of us. Kathy was her name ,we were never rushed and could ask questions It was amazing to see all the works of arts. Would definitely recommend to see this museum with such a knowledgeable guide as Kathy
We very much appreciated the personal, efficient and friendly service provided be our tour guide, Kathy.
Kathy provided a very curated experience, which is required for an excellent visit to a museum so expansive as the V and A
We had an absolutely wonderful time with Kathy! It made our experience at the Victoria & Albert Museum so much better! Without her we would have been wandering aimlessly (it’s HUGE). But Kathy took us to all the best and most interesting spots and shared valuable information about different pieces! Wayyy better than reading the plagues/informational boards. Kathy was so knowledgeable & fun! We truly enjoyed our time with her.
We appreciated having a tour guide for this experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared clearly and with enthusiasm about the highlights of the museum. It would have been overwhelming as a first time visitor without her.
Had a really enjoyable tour of the V&A Museum with Kathy. She was friendly, easy to talk to, and clearly knew her stuff. She pointed out some interesting details I would’ve missed on my own, and kept things engaging without going overboard. A nice way to explore the museum if you want a bit more context and a relaxed pace.
I had a wonderful experience on the private tour of the Victoria and Albert Museum. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and had a real passion for the art, design, and fashion collections. They communicated everything clearly and made the history behind the pieces feel engaging and accessible. I really appreciated how they tailored the tour to our interests and took the time to answer questions in a thoughtful, easy-to-understand way. I came away having learned a lot and genuinely enjoyed it.
