ロサンゼルス・ゲッティセンターガイドツアー

I would not recommend this tour. It felt less like a guided museum experience and more like a drop off service between the various Getty buildings, something any visitor can easily do themselves using the museum map. There was virtually no meaningful art or history knowledge provided, and much of the tour consisted of being told to explore galleries on our own and return later. One entire wing of French 18th century furniture was even described as “junk.” When we raised concerns afterwards, the response was disappointing. Overall, the experience fell well short of what was advertised.

For $40 each, our guide Mike with ExperienceFirst met 8 of us in the morning at the security entrance. He gave an excellent recap of each of the Pavillions as we toured. At the end, before we went in to see the Impressionists, we stopped outside to view the Los Angeles skyline. In the distance, we could see its hazy silhouette, an impression much like a Monet. Then we viewed the highlight for me, the Impressionists including Monet. He ended the 2-hour tour in the Garden area on a bright sunny day.

Great guide. Very informative. Well organised. Very much enjoyed it. Worth planning to stay after the tour as there is a lot to see.

Happy that we had a guide-Brian was great!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and extremely diligent in communicating with us where and how to meet at the Getty Center. She discussed the history of the creation of the Center and the man behind his creation. Unfortunately, many exhibits and buildings are already closed in preparation of the Olympics. For anyone who has had the privilege of visiting Europe's great art museums, the Getty is pathetic and architecturally ungainly ugly.

The Getty was awesome and the tour guide was really great. The only problem was that the meeting place address that was given to us took us to the wrong place. Fortunately we had allowed enough time to correct that. Then when we entered the security area we did not see a person with an orange hat as directed. Turns out she was carrying the hat in her hand. The people taking tickets at the security line had no idea who we were talking about and said they had no idea what the ticket I showed them was for. The let us walk in and we decided to wait at the entrance to the main building to see if we could spot the tour guide and we did. Had we not, we would have missed the tour completely. Please be more accurate in your directions and instructions as to how to participate in the tour. We have 3 excursions booked with Viator in May during our Alaskan cruise And I do hope they go more smoothly than this.

This is a great overview of the complex and art Works that prepare you to spend more time by yourself admiring the beauty of the complex and the artwork.

The tour was booked and paid for then we received notification of the cancellation. Am watching my acct to see the $ was refunded. Was going to use Viator for an upcoming trip to Istanbul, but am looking at other alternatives due to this experience.

The guide was fantastic; he made the experience enlightening and fun, with an original take that kept us interested throughout.

Matt was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic! He was very assertive and made this tour very fun. Anyone who gets Matt as a tour guide is lucky to have him!
