Your Itinerary

National Gallery

Instead of browsing  the National Gallery aimlessly, immerse yourself in the techniques and history behind some of the world’s most famous artists with a professional guide. You’ve heard of Van Gogh and da Vinci, but what do you really know about them? Learn about the painters behind the paintings. Browse your favorite works by other masters like Botticelli, Monet, Rembrandt, and Vermeer. If none of those names mean anything to you, that will change by the end of the tour. The National Gallery houses paintings dating back to the 1300s all the way up through the 1900s, so there is no shortage of choice. Visit Jan van Eyck’s “The Arnolfini Portrait” or something more familiar like Van Gogh’s “Sunflowers” to understand the full scope of work on display. Learn essential information and history needed to appreciate the more than 2,300 paintings on display at one of the world’s most visited museums.

Our guide, Steph, was extraordinary. Her knowledge and appreciation of the art we saw, and her selection of paintings to focus on, enhanced our experience and made our tour a special and memorable one.

Excellent tour with Matilda. We were the only ones in her group so we got to go a bit more in depth with some pieces than we might have otherwise. It was not my first time but Matilda still made the tour interesting and it was quite charming.

In depth discussion of paintings with additional information our guide had on his iPad which greatly facilitated our understanding of the paintings.

The guide shared with us many interesting insights about many paintings we have selected inside the museum.

Our guide Becky was not only extremely knowledgeable in the intricacies of the art pieces, she made sure that I got to see the pieces I'd been most excited to view. Additionally, because of my mobility disability I had asked to move the meeting location to which she graciously obliged. She made sure I was engaged & well taken care of throughout the entire experience! Couldn't have asked for better service & accommodation.

Our guide got us right in! Usherd us to bathrooms and coat check area. She was able to take us to the main things we wanted to see and was a wealth of knowledge that really peaked our interest and so many pieces of art having our guide was a must! It gets crowded and guide will navigate you through thank goodness. Lots of standing!
