Ellen was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and made the experience special. Ellen knew her way around the museum. She had hands on experiences and fun stories about the artists.

Six of us went with Ellen. She used to be a docent at the Getty and she was very knowledgeable. Meeting up with her was easy and I was able to EM her before the trip with questions. I highly recommend.

Ellen was a wonderful guide to The Getty; we enjoyed ourselves immensely. For some, it was their first "guided private" tour and they swear they will never visit another museum without a guide! It was the highlight of our visit to L.A. Thank you, Ellen!
