What To Expect
The 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.

5.00Stephanie was a great guide making the tour both informative and fun. The tour is not just about showing some pictures but rather putting them in perspective of the overall history of art and what that picture/ art represented in that history. A long tour but never a dull moment, strongly advised.
Gifted Guide

5.00Steph was wonderful. She was full of knowledge and energy. She increased my interest in art. She explained every painting in depth and with great enthusiasm. She had us look beyond the paintings themselves. She encouraged us to express what we were thinking about each piece. She showed us how to look for clues and details that I would never have seen before this experience. I would encourage anyone to take a tour Steph is guiding .
Had a wonderful tour...

5.00Had a wonderful tour guide, Stephanie K, at the National Gallery of London. Her knowledge and enthusiasm for art made this a worthwhile experience. She has raised the bar on what I will expect for all guides in the future.
A remarkable experience

5.00My guide was Stephanie K and it so happened that I was the only customer in the activity, at this time. I cannot fathom (or wish for) a better visit. Stephanie was really well prepared and the visit had like an invisible conductive wire that ensured the sequence we followed made full sense. However the guidance was extremely vivid and interesting; Steph both covered a lot of ground on and about each of the pictures we saw but even made a few detours to show me something that was just mentioned or had arisen in our conversation.
Jake made our tour great!

5.00This was exactly the type of tour we were looking for! Jake was our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable, answering well every question we asked. And not only knowledgeable, he delivered the information in a lively and enthusiastic way. He brought to life the paintings we studied, so we could understand what each artist was trying to convey.
Jake takes the cake!

5.00First and foremost our guide, Steph, was amazing. Her knowledge and passion really came through. Large museums can be daunting and a guide really helps with focus and understanding. This tour, thanks to Steph, was fantastic! Highly recommend.

5.00Absolutely fantastic. Our group of five was guided by Steph and I can’t say enough good things about her! She was extremely knowledgeable and guided us through the museum with a deliberate plan and point of view. We saw many “showstoppers” but she linked them beautifully and handled very well a group with different backgrounds and knowledge. Worth every penny. Excellent.
