Quotes and Testimonials

  • 'These are not your conventional art history lectures, engaging, fun and sociable with astounding expertise and plenty of knowledge to take away - they're bound to leave you inspired. The tours are a fantastic way to discover and re-discover London. Art nut or novice I urge you to go!'
    Moya Stirrup | Culture Whisper
  • 'The personal nature of Art History UK tours was a real bonus. We spent five days together and anything I asked for, Rose sorted. With her overwhelming knowledge of London, bubbly personality and endless charm her days were without doubt our favourite days in London – I will certainly be recommending her to all my friends!'
    M. Holland | Private Client
  • 'My son Charlie and I were taken round the National Gallery by Rose Balston, and in three brief hours, we were inspired to levels of wonder. Rose has the gift of allowing you to discover things in the paintings that you would never have noticed before…I’d strongly recommend you join an Art History UK tour'. 
    Mark Hedges | Country Life Magazine
  • 'Small groups, passionate guides, enlightening conversations: these are the three ingredients that go into making Art History UK such a treat…it is not about lectures and seminars (though it is deeply educating): the focus is on bringing London’s treasures – the galleries and the museum – to life'.
    Conde Nast Traveller
  • 'We had a wonderful time last night indeed!! We’ve had a great experience with you since the beginning; the options that you have suggested, your willingness to understand who we are and what will suit us, your flexibility… Bianco was great in terms of atmosphere, food and service and our ladies really enjoyed it. And last but definitely not least…Catherine…I personally didn’t join the tour but I keep getting emails about how wonderful she was. Thanks for everything'.

  • Thank you so much for a hugely enjoyable, informative and entertaining afternoon in Mayfair yesterday. We all take London, her streets and the buildings for granted so it was very special for you to share your unending knowledge contained within them. You resurrected so many characters and their lives for us and we both left hungry for more…You have a wonderful way of bringing history to life, thank you. (Mayfair tour)
