London ‘Art + Culture’ Experience

London ‘Art & Culture’ Experience

Private Guide. Day Tour. Visiting two amazing attractions. This is a walking and wandering tour all in central London (not in the cab).

As a born and bred London tour guide I enjoy providing commentary and anecdotes about all our tour stops and London’s great landmarks.

I’ll explain as we explore these world famous attractions (we choose three out of the four):

British Museum: the world’s greatest collection of human history, culture and art. Egyptian mummies, Rosetta Stone, Assyrian Lamassu, Lion Hunt Relief, Parthenon Marbles, an Anglo-Saxon Ship Burial and more. I select the best from a million exhibits! Free entry.

National Gallery: the most comprehensive collection of western art displayed in one gallery. Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, Raphael, Caravaggio, Vermeer, Rembrandt, Turner, Cezanne, Monet, van Gogh and more. I select the best from over two thousand paintings! Free entry.

National Portrait Gallery (alternative to National Gallery – you decide): the story of Britain; through royalty, politics, art, science, literature, music and performance. Portraits in paint but also plaster, bronze and photography. This is the world’s largest collection of portraits, providing a unique look at this nations identities and cultures from the 1500s to today. Free entry.

Note: National Gallery and National Portrait Gallery occupy the same site at Trafalgar Square.

Itinerary:

• 10.00: Meet outside the Museum Tavern, Great Russell Street, opposite the British Museum.
• 10.00: British Museum, National Gallery (or National Portrait Gallery).
• 16.00: Tour end at Trafalgar Square.

Lunch is usually an easy meal in one of the attraction cafe’s, all of which are very good.

Tour with a local guide: qualified, verified, experienced and friendly.

Having a walking guide like me is super-efficient and will help to make the day enjoyable and memorable.

We’re always close to coffee shops and places for bathroom breaks.

TRANSPORT: Between the British Museum and National Gallery travel is on foot (25 mins +/-) or taxi, we decide as we tour. Taxi is quicker – not included in price.
