Great Guide

RON_F, May 2024

Anthony was a very knowledgeable guide who brought the paintings to life. Great insight into the artist and the time that they painted. Worth every penny!

National gallery Anthony Matthews tour was great

Stephen_F, Apr 2024

Our guide, Anthony Matthews, was prompt; showed us things we specifically requested; and was very knowledgeable. I recommend him highly.

Would not recommend

Gabriela_C, Apr 2024

I do not recommend. I'm not an expert but the guide had no idea what he was talking about. He made up information about the artists and the paintings.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

The complainer hardly listened to anything I said, as she was continually talking with her husband or would wander off randomly halfway through my explanation to look around. What exactly did i make up? If you don't know how could you tell I made things up? She was an hour late. I have a degree from Christ Church Oxford in fine art.

Anthony Is AWESOME

Allison_G, Feb 2024

Saw some of the greats. Heard some amazing backstories about them. Had the most fascinating afternoon. Anthony was positively marvelous and I will never go to another museum in London without him.
