About This Tour
Step into the heart of London's cultural soul with this guided exploration of the National Gallery. Choose between a small semi-private group (max 5 guests) or a fully private one-to-one experience—both led by a PhD-trained art historian. Semi-Private Group Tour: Engage in relaxed, thoughtful conversation while discovering works by Botticelli, Leonardo, Caravaggio, Turner, Monet, and more. Private Tour: A bespoke encounter tailored just for you. We’ll move slowly, uncover symbolism and iconography, and dive into masterpieces by Piero della Francesca, Titian, El Greco, Seurat, and others. Includes skip-the-line access and entry to temporary exhibitions. Whether you’re an art lover, solo traveler, or simply curious, this experience offers personal connection with the timeless beauty of European painting.
