Rose has been guiding small groups and individuals around Europe’s cultural hotspots for 20 years. Discussing art, architecture and sculpture on-site is a rare privilege and Rose always delights in the opportunity to take curious groups off the beaten track and show off hidden gems.
Rose was lucky enough to starting guiding groups around Europe’s great art treasures shortly after graduating from University in 2006. She spent 4 years in Italy working with the inspirational team at Art History Abroad, before founding her own London-based company – ArtscapesUK – in 2009.
Rose guides across the UK and Italy, in the Netherlands, Belgium, Vienna, Provence and the UAE. For more information on Rose’s private tours please email her here on rose@rosebalston.com.
Our business development presentations which have been led by Rose over the years have been the most successful we have hosted in terms of client engagement and feedback. Keep up the great work!

Rose is an exceptional art historian and presenter, who brings art to life through her vivid and eloquent use of language as she weaves a fascinating tale and encourages the audience to look through a different lens. Her presentations are exciting, thought-provoking and inspiring. They are always a fantastic success.
