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.

Amazing tour! I’ve been...

Amazing tour! I’ve been on lots of gallery tours and this was probably the best. Our guide was so informative and passionate! It sometimes made me emotional looking at the paintings and hearing his renditions. Must do in London. Meeting point sign could be a bit larger or placed more central to the audio guides.

Great art museum

It’s easy to see why this museum gets such high ratings, and like all of the major museums in London it is free. The quality of the artwork is astounding. Pictures hundreds of years old seem like they were just painted yesterday. Some of the most famous paintings in the world are displayed here. Even if you’re someone that does not usually enjoy going to these kinds of museums, this one is worth a visit.

Guided tour well worth having

Steven was our tour guide today. He was great - very warm, engaging personality and thoroughly knowledgeable about the works of art he introduced us to. Perfect experience and the interesting information he provided made our viewing of the paintings so much more memorable. Thank you Steven, you were fab!

Hypnotic!

I can't help but go back to the National Gallery every time I go back to London. Something magical about it. I'd spend hours contemplating Monet's Water Lilies!
