My wife and I had a private tour of the Getty Centre Collection with Ellen in February.In short it was fabulous.Ellen is passionate about art and it shows.Her tour was informative,interactive,well researched and entertaining.Her verbal dialogue is supported by photoboards and other props which enhanced the tour.At one stage we were testing our drumming skills and the Getty acoustics with drumsticks on the stonework! We particularly enjoyed the stories behind the paintings and the stories behind the artists. As a holder of a Getty Docent Certificate and former guide at the Getty for many years she knows the Collection back to front so we were able to see and enjoy the highlights of the Collection without feeling rushed. We were left wanting more. Ellen is witty,intelligent and blessed with an engaging sense of humour. This tour is ideal for anyone irrespective of their level of artistic knowledge. Done miss it

Ellen made our trip wonderfully educational and a joyous experience. I would suggest you never go to The Getty without first booking time with Ellen.

Thank you! I, too, enjoyed touring you and your family. It was fun! I'd love to see the rock-playing video! Looking forward to giving you another tour when you come back to LA!
