We had a group of seven adults yesterday touring the Getty.Ellen met us off the tram and immediately a five star tour began! Our group was fascinated by this wonderful experience. The Getty is a beautiful museum, and our guide took every opportunity to show us its special features - from beautiful outdoor areas, vistas, quirky behind the scenes facts, and world famous art. Ellen‘s easy style of delivery showcased her extensive knowledge of art history which coupled well with her love of researching the personal stories behind the art. Fun, personable, and always ready with a couple surprises to delight us. Over and over again we said how much fun it was and how much we learned. Everybody walked away saying that we are now spoiled for every museum yet to come! Even our dinner conversation last night was a lively reminiscence of everything we had learned that day. Thank you, Ellen!! This was our crowning experience of visiting California this trip. you gotta take this tour, for real -you won’t be sorry! Ellen, we cannot thank you enough. - Lorie from CT

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Touring all of you was entertaining and your enthusiasm was infectious! Being able to have great conversations about the art I show visitors is equally inspiring for me, too!

Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. She not only knew the artwork but also about the building, which was fascinating. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had a great 2 hour tour with Ellen. She kept our kids (16, 14 and 11) engaged and made the experience fun and educational for all of us. Highly recommend.
