London Private tour with Spanish Guide

Begin your tour by meeting the master painters whose names fill the halls of the National Gallery. Instead of wandering aimlessly, let your guides immerse you in the stories and history behind some of the world's most famous artists. You've heard of Van Gogh and da Vinci, but what do you really know about them? Learn about the painters behind the paintings as you explore the works of masters such as Botticelli, Monet, Rembrandt, and Vermeer. If none of those names mean anything to you, we'll make sure all changes are made by the end of the tour. The National Gallery houses a collection of paintings from the 1300s onwards, so there's no shortage of options. See da Vinci's "The Virgin of the Rocks" before fast-forwarding to Seurat's "Bathers at Asnières" to witness the changes in styles over the centuries. During this semi-private tour, you'll be armed with the information and history you'll need to appreciate the 2,300 paintings on display in one of the world's most visited museums.

After a break for lunch, you'll be ready to explore culture and civilizations through the monumental collection at the British Museum. Your guide will lead you through 6000 years of sculptures, jewelry and artifacts, acting as a living Rosetta Stone to help you understand these pieces - and yes, you will see the actual Rosetta Stone as you do so. Your guides will take a serious but personable approach to the museum's galleries, discussing primitive tribes and forgotten empires through a carefully curated selection of exhibits. Discover samurai armor and ancient Assyrian lions hunting reliefs. You'll learn about Katebet's mummy and the Lewis Chessmen, among other historical artifacts. Leave the tour with an understanding of what humans have accomplished in our short history and feel proud to be a part of this incredible species.
