The small group tour was...
The small group tour was led by a fascinating, knowledgeable tour guide. Although the tour lasted only an hour, I learned a great deal and appreciated each of the paintings she discussed. Our tour guidebrought them to life with humor and intelligence.

Excellent Visit with a terrific guide.
The Highlights Tour was led by Stephen who was excellent. We are regular visitors to the gallery but he gave us really interesting insights into several of the paintings which he chose.

Exceptional tour of the national Gallery
Outstanding tour of the national Gallery with an amazing tour guide.Matilda is the best! There were eight of us traveling together and we all learned so much. Matilda is outstanding in her knowledge and her graciousness and her pacing of the Tor. I highly recommend gravel on tours. I’ve had them on many occasions and they are truly outstanding.

National Gallery London
It is a “must visit” when in London. The art collection is well curated and takes you through different periods of time, technique and its respective artists.
