What are people saying about Victoria and Albert Museum

Private Tour, Highlights of the Victoria&Albert Museum

Carol_C, Apr 2026

Victoria and Albert tour

Marina gave us a great introduction to the wonderful Victoria and Albert museum. She showed us a variety of items and carefully explained everything. A perfect visit. She is enthusiastic and easy to understand. It is such a big museum and we look forward to going back.

Vera_R, Jul 2026

Not truly adequate for the price.

The museum is very worth the visit and our guide gave us the basic layout along with details about several example displays, but she spoke rapidly and did not ask us for our questions or interests. She left us 15 minutes early out of 120 without explanation. Lovely person but left us feeling $275 each was way too steep. Go on your own, get a map and an audio tour. You’ll do great.

Robert - a clear expert brought the V&A to life for us.

My family and I sat over dinner and talked about all we learned from Robert on our tour of the V&A Museum in London. He was the most passionate and informed tour guide we have ever hired. What a pleasure - it was more than we could have hoped for.

Spectacular

Our tour guide Robert was amazing. Having a guide in this enormous museum made our experience so much better. Robert's expertise about art history provided us with a much richer experience than just simply wandering about with no clue to what we were observing and the incredible history of the building itself. I would not hesitate to book this tour or any other museum tour with him. Fabulous insight into British history and the origins of the displays here.

Wonderful Knowledgeable Guide

Our tour guide Robert was fantastic! The V&A is massive, so there is no way to get in everything. Robert selected an item or two in many of the rooms and provided an in depth history lesson of each. He pointed out things we absolutely would have missed if touring by ourselves (like a $36M tiny bowl). We found out he previously worked at Sothebys, and it made total sense! We would highly recommend!

A wonderful way to see the V&A

Robert has a vast knowledge of the V&A museum. The museum is extensive and overwhelming but Robert’s expertise made it all accessible and interesting. Our 3 hours with him flew by and we loved every minute. He made our time there a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend Robert as a guide.
