Artistic journey with a Blue Badge guide

Take a walk through the National Gallery, an iconic art museum nestled in the heart of London. 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. 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.
