The National Gallery, shaped around your own questions
Seven centuries of European painting can be overwhelming. A private Blue Badge guide builds one coherent route for your party alone.
Leonardo, Monet, Van Gogh, Rembrandt and others become starting points for stories about technique, patronage and changing ideas of art. The point is to stop, look and ask, not tick off a list.
Gallery entry is free; this adds the private guide and two focused hours.
Best for
- Couples, families and friends who want a guide to themselves
- Art lovers who don't want to decide where to start
- Guests who'd like a route built around a period, artist or theme
Highlights
- Private tour for your party only
- Certified Blue Badge guide trained in art history
- Renaissance, Baroque, British and Impressionist works
- Headsets for clear commentary
