    David’s tour was...

    Bill_H, Oct 2025
    David’s tour was wonderful. He brought the paintings to life and taught us so much. His passion is contagious.

    Totally inspirational and enjoyable

    This was truly an amazing, exhilarating and educational tour. David was attentive, full of knowledge, funny, and very professional. He actively involved me in the tour listened and I could’ve stayed there the whole week listening to him. David explained things about the art and searching the Scriptures to back it up. I just want to thank David for a truly wonderful afternoon at the National Gallery. When I return to London, I will be doing his other tour.

    Engaging and enriching afternoon with art

    Learnt ALOT about the biblical and extra biblical pieces, and even some about the stories behind the portraits. We really liked how David brought us information not just about the biblical ones but also expounded on the rest.
