We enjoyed a wonderful tour with Mandy. She was a fantastic guide. She was very personable, accommodating, up-beat and knowledgeable. She was very informative and knew so much detail about the paintings she had chosen to discuss - and others which we asked about along the way. Most importantly, she provided us with context about each piece so that we could understand the painter and interpret the painting. I saw many classic American paintings in an entirely new light after hearing her explain the context for each painting. She made a great museum come alive for all of us.

Four of us enjoyed a great tour of the Art Institute. Our guide, Mandy, was fantastic. She has a great personality, up-beat attitude and was very knowledgeable. She took time to answer all of our questions and provided us with a lot of information. Most importantly, she explained the context to interpret and understand all of the pieces we viewed with her. She really made this a very rewarding and enjoyable experience.

Spiro is the absolute best tour guide that I have ever had worldwide. Viewing the masterpieces in person is surreal enough, but accompanied by his narration filled with deep details of the art through a historical lens, elevated our entire experience. His thoughts and words will now remain with me and guide me in art appreciation in the future.
