Private tour guide is the only way to visit museums. Not only does the guide highlight exhibits in the museum but it’s the background and history that they bring to the exhibits. Our guide Kathy was extremely knowledgeable, warm and engaging.

We appreciated having a tour guide for this experience. Our guide was knowledgeable and shared clearly and with enthusiasm about the highlights of the museum. It would have been overwhelming as a first time visitor without her.

Fabulous tour of the V&A. Kathy was a wonderful guide. She was able to show us the best of this massive museum, and make it approachable and interesting. She was great at explaining how various objects fit together, their place in history, why they were included in the museum. We left the tour with a new understanding of British history, industry, fine and decorative arts.
I strongly recommend touring the V&A with Kathy. She brought the museum to life for us and our time with her flew by quickly. Definitely a fabulous tour!

Kathy, our tour guide, provided a very detailed exposition of various highlights from the museum. Her wealth of knowledge and the ability to explain the intricate historical details made her an ideal guide. I would recommend her to anyone who is interested in the contents of this great museum.
Gillian_S, Mar 2025
Our tour guide, Kathy, truly brought the V&A to life for our family. She asked in advance about what might interest our children and made sure we saw those elements in the exhibitions. We really enjoyed our time in her company and would highly recommend her to others.

William_S, Nov 2024
Kathy was truly magnificent! She provided such a rich description of both the museum and its collections. Loved the detail and the broad overview. I would do this tour again with Kathy
Sherri_L, Sep 2024
Kathy was absolutely wonderful! We learned so much from her in the 2 1/2 hours we spent with her. There is NO way we could have ever navigated the V&A museum on our own and gotten so much out of it! It otherwise would have been very overwhelming! Thank you Kathy, for all your information and in making this a very fun and enjoyable afternoon!
