What To Expect

1

The British Museum

Begin your half day experience by exploring the cultures and civilizations through the monumental collection at the British Museum spanning 6000 years of human history. It features items from all over the world like Samurai armor and rare Assyrian lion hunt reliefs. Your guide will take a serious but enjoyable approach towards the museum’s galleries, discussing primitive tribes and fallen empires through a carefully chosen selection of items. You’ll learn about the Mummy of Katebet, the Lewis Chessmen, and the Rosetta Stone – the actual rock, not the language learning program. Walk away with an understanding of what we humans have achieved during our short history and hopefully you’ll be proud to call yourself a part of this incredible species.

2 hours 30 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

The National Gallery

After a break for lunch, learn about the master painters whose names fill the halls of the National Gallery. 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, your guide will 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 arm 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.

    Wonderful experience. Stephanie was our tour guide and she was excellent, very detailed, took us right to the major points that you don’t want to miss. Do not skip on the British Museum or the wonderful paintings in the National Gallery. Highly recommended.

    Steph was an incredibly amazing guide. Her knowledge of the British History museum was stellar and her depth of understanding of the Art museum was even more impressive! Her narrative was among the best of the many tour guides we have experienced and the way she brought history, and especially the paintings we viewed to life was inspirational. I can truly say that I have a new understanding of Art and the meaning behind the paintings, in context of the time and environment they were painted in. Her enthusiasm and passion for the items we saw made this a very special activity. Do not miss a chance to take this tour with Steph!
