Thank you, Matilda!

Matilda was an incredible tour guide! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and informative, making it a fun and educational experience. I would recommend Matilda to anyone who is planning to visit London. I can’t speak more highly of her.

The Tate Modern - Well worth a visit, don't miss the views from top floor, huge gallery, something for everyone's taste

Jake C was a brilliant guide for our tour of the Tate Modern. He was a wealth of knowledge & he brought us to all the most interesting & thought provoking must-see gems of the Tate Modern collection. The gallery is huge & spread over several floors so visiting with a guide is worth every penny. I'd say it would be next to impossible to self-navigate to all the best bits of the Tate Modern in a 2-3 hour period unless you knew exactly where you were going! Jake even brought us up to the cafe on the 10th floor at the end of the tour & pointed out the sights of the London skyline from a birdeye view. A perfect way to end the tour & a day of sightseeing in London!

Excellent and informative tour

My husband and I felt the the tour we took with James H, exceeded our expectations. He was highly informative and listened to our interests, which were reflected in some of the information James provided. We felt that the tour gave two people interested in art but not specialists, got the best out of our tour and time in the gallery.

Matilda was an outstanding guide. Discussed several works in depth and had a blast. Didn't like everything we saw, but the warhols were the highlight for me. Too many others to mention.

Tate Modern Tour

Our tour of the Tate Modern was excellent. Becky L made the entire experience worth every penny. She was personable and engaging....asking us our opinions to then discuss. This made us a part of the tour rather than just listening to an art expert opine about the art. Highly recommend Babylon tours and Becky L if you are looking to learn about the art in this wonderful museum.
