A walk through time at the British Museum

Your experience starts at the legendary British Museum, home to over eight million pieces chronicling the achievements of humanity across millennia. Alongside your knowledgeable guide, encounter the Rosetta Stone – a landmark in deciphering ancient languages – ancient Egyptian mummies, Greek and Roman artefacts and the impressive Moai from Easter Island. Hear the remarkable stories of these treasures and gain new perspectives as your guide points out significant details often missed by the casual observer.

From the majesty of the Parthenon Marbles to the mysteries contained in ancient tablets and illuminated manuscripts, the British Museum immerses visitors in every era of civilisation. Learn about rituals, innovations, and artistic accomplishments that shaped the world as you move between cultures and continents under one great roof.

The artistic wonders of the National Gallery

After the British Museum, enjoy a leisurely stroll through central London to the National Gallery. This iconic institution houses masterpieces from iconic artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Vincent van Gogh, and Claude Monet. Your guide leads you through rich galleries, highlighting the stories, techniques and hidden meanings behind some of the most celebrated paintings in history.

From Botticelli to Rembrandt and Holbein to Turner, follow the evolution of European art and decode the symbolism in some of the world’s most recognisable works. Stand before Da Vinci's The Virgin of the Rocks, marvel at Van Gogh's Sunflowers and take in Monet’s ethereal Waterlilies, all while learning about the artists’ lives and influences.
