Wonderfully informative and enjoyable tour of the Getty

Published on Dec, 2024

Ellen Greenberg gave our family a fantastic tour of the Getty Museum. We're 5 people ranging in age from 29 to 85. My ankle was injured, so I needed a wheelchair. Ellen was patient, kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable. She obtained the wheelchair for us, and waited for a few of us who arrived late. The Getty's a large museum, so Ellen showed us highlights that we had time to see in our 2 hour tour. She talked about the architecture of the museum, and the process of building it. She showed us art by Rembrandt, Bernini, artists in Leonardo da Vinci's studio, and a couple of dozen others. Ellen was engaging. She encouraged us to ask her questions, and asked us questions to enliven the tour. She came well prepared with a big bag of laminated pictures that she used to illustrate her discussion of the art. Her tour made our visit to the Getty much more enjoyable and informative than it would have been without her.

Great day at the Getty!

Alexandra is a very experienced guide, guided through the whole Getty collection, spectacular tour, great energy and so much knowledge about art history !

Private tour with Ellen

Published on Aug, 2024

We had a great private tour with Ellen. We learned so much from her and we would have been clueless navigating the Getty without her. She brought along pictures to add historical context to the artwork and it was both educational and entertaining. She is a wealth of knowledge.

Tour was perfect for me and my 18 year old son

Published on Jul, 2024

We loved our tour with Ellen!! 10/10 would recommend! Thank you, Ellen for an incredible experience all around~

Excellent tour!

Sasha made the experience memorable, fun and her knowledge about the art was amazing. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting details about the art the Getty displays.
