Your Itinerary

National Gallery

Instead of browsing the National Galley aimlessly, let your guide immerse you in the techniques and history behind some of the world’s most famous artists. You’ve heard of Seurat and da Vinci, but what do you really know about them? Learn about the painters behind the paintings as we browse our favorite works by other masters like Botticelli, Monet, Rembrandt, and Vermeer. If none of those names mean anything to you, we’ll make sure that changes 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. During your tour, you'll be armed with the essential information and history needed to appreciate the more than 2300 paintings on display at one of the world’s most visited museums.

This was a very good tour. Out guided for the tour was excellent, he knew about the museum and was wary to understand. He was well versed in art and art history. He encouraged our questions and provided very good answers.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! Jake was an amazing tour guide. Highly knowledgeable! He would point out the history and fine details of each painting in a way that we wouldn't be able to get ourselves! Highly recommended.

Tour was fabulous! Matilda presented a carefully ordered tour of quality rather than quantity. She had interesting insights at every stop, explained and interacted rather than lectured. Money and time well spent.

Eleisha was great during the tour of the gallery. She made this huge place into a manageable going through different periods of art history throughout England but also of the world greatest masters. She even gave us recommendations for places to rarrr

Stephanie was amazing! She was funny, friendly and so knowledgeable. It felt like we were old friends. When I booked the tour, I worried it would be too long but the time flew by and we could have kept going it was so interesting.

Luis did a fantastic job guiding my wife and me through the National Gallery of London. He was professional, knowledgeable, and engaging. He provided us with numerous insights into the art pieces. We learned about shadows, colors, and perceptual completion. Luis is the best guide we have used in our several years of European travels. We enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend Babylon Tours. Larry Atlanta, Georgia 10/27/2023

We’ve been to many art museums in Europe and the experience can be overwhelming. You’ll never see everything and you’ll definitely miss something. Even with an audio guide, it can be frustrating. However, with Becky as our tour guide, we saw all of the paintings that had interesting stories about the art and the artist. She was so passionate about the art that her enthusiasm definitely inspired us on our journey through the museum. I would definitely recommend this tour and try to get Becky as your guide.
