Artistic journey with a Blue Badge guide
Take a walk through the National Gallery, an iconic art museum nestled in the heart of London. Whether you choose a standard guided tour or opt for the exclusive 3-hour private experience, your visit is curated to offer an unforgettable journey through centuries of artistic brilliance. Enter through a separate entrance to avoid the crowds. Guided by a knowledgeable Blue Badge guide, an accredited guide for tourists in the UK, traverse the labyrinth of over 2,600 masterpieces that span 7 centuries of artistic endeavours. Marvel at masterpieces by Van Gogh, da Vinci, Monet, and Raphael – each artwork a doorway into a bygone era. Explore paintings that cover a variety of topics, like Titian's 'Bacchus and Ariadne,' which depicts mythology, love, and humanism.
Upgrade to indulge in British traditions
After immersing yourself in the world of art, partake in a classic British tradition – afternoon tea, at the newly opened museum restaurant, Ochre. Savour freshly baked scones with Cornish clotted cream and strawberry jam, alongside a selection of finely-crafted pastries and sandwiches. This gastronomical delight is complemented by a choice of fresh loose tea and barista coffee. On the other hand, you can also opt for a private tour of the Gallery, with an exclusive group of a maximum of 10 people, and explore Trafalgar Square on a 3-hour guided walking tour. Visiting with young ones? Then upgrade to a 1-hour guided Children's Art Tour of the public collection and let your kids sketch and participate in other art activities.
