The Connoisseur Experience - A Private Tour of the National Gallery

£280 · up to 3 hours · for one guest, or shared with a companion

This is not a standard visit, it is an unhurried, personal encounter with some of the greatest paintings in the world, shaped entirely around you.

Led by a London Blue Badge Tourist Guide and PhD art historian, this private tour moves at the pace of genuine looking. Over up to three hours we explore works by Piero della Francesca, Paolo Uccello, SandroBotticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Titian, El Greco, Caravaggio, Turner, Monet, Renoir and Seurat, uncovering the hidden symbols, layers of iconography and quiet decisions that give each painting its meaning.

There is no fixed route and no script: your questions, curiosities and favourite works decide where we linger. This is slow looking in its purest form, a rare space for open conversation with the art, and about it.

Whether you are a lifelong connoisseur or simply seeking one quiet, meaningful cultural morning or afternoon in London, this experience is crafted for you alone and can happily be shared with one companion at no extra cost.
