I understand that the guide was ill, but we could have received notification earlier that 10:47 . They have our number. We did the tour unguided. It can be done very effectively without a guide. Museum ( Ashmolian ) entry is free
A fantastic experience with a very friendly, knowledgeable guide. It was great to be taken to the Christ Church Picture Gallery which is tucked away and has many treasures of its own. Not visited by many tourists, we had the place to ourselves which made it extra special. Thanks Natasha for your enthusiasm . Such a treat to ‘talk’ paintings with an expert.
Our tour included The Ashmolean Museum and Christchurch College’s art collection. The Ashmolean Museum was very interesting and our guide Natasha brought the paintings and their painter’s to life for us. She is incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience a pleasure. We had coffee and cake in the museum’s restaurant before heading off to Christchurch College. All the staff were very helpful and polite at The Ashmolean. The only dampener was the visit to Christchurch College where we found the staff to be rather rude.
You were a fantastic family to have, with so much enthusiasm and insights to give! I really enjoyed doing the tour with you. Thank you for the lovely review. Natasha
Very detailed conversations about the history and style of the exhibits. We were able to choose some that interested us and Natasha was very knowledgeable. Not always about the specific piece but the style and influences
A great tour of galleries I'd been meaning to go to for a while. I wonderful way to see them, with a knowledgeable and warm guide. Her understanding of the renaissance was particularly fascinating. The Bellini painting of St.Jerome was a particular highlight. I'd recommend to anyone.
This was a very interesting tour of artwork at Ashmolean and Christ Church paintings gallery. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the collection and tailored the tour to the requests of the group. This was a unique experience for any art lover.
I urge you to experience this amazing tour through the magnificent rooms of the Ashmolean Museum and Christchurch Picture Gallery in Oxford. Natasha Broad’s talk about the painting and drawing masterpieces is vastly illuminating and intellectually challenging.
This tour of the art of the Ashmolean and Christchurch Picture Gallery was very interesting indeed. Our guide had an impressive knowledge of history of art and was able to answer all the group’s questions. I highly recommend this tour.
Had an amazing experience with Natasha at the Ashmolean Museum, I learnt so much and it totally opened my eyes the power of art. I would really recommend this tour as it is different to other guided tours I have been on. Natasha really knows her stuff, coffee was fab at half time as well
Had the most fantastic and informative tour of the Ashmolean in Oxford yesterday. Natasha Broad was such a fun guide and super knowledgeable. We asked question after question and she didn’t hesitate. It was so fun learning about the stories behind the paintings and the various techniques used. Would highly recommend, and next time we’re back in the area we will ask her to be our guide again! 10/10
