Phenomenal museum, our guide was very enthusiastic and incredibly knowledgeable on all of the artwork, and was respectful of everyone’s location, and tried to accommodate everyone’s favorite genres.

Absolutely fantastic! Sarah, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable. She did a great job explaining the selected artwork and discussing the artists. The National Gallery is so large - it was nice to have this introduction to some of the museum's most important works. Highly recommend!

Good visit for a family - the sunflowers is the main attraction but plenty to see and cafe and rest room facilities are available.

Our guide Emma made our visit to the National Gallery highlights memorable. Her enthusiasm and knowledge of the artists through the centuries made our tour fascinating. We had a splendid time.

Went with my family as we didn’t have lots of time but wanted to see the key things.

Our guide really brought the whole thing to life - the back stories, the subtle references you’d never get from doing it alone. Headsets also helped as you could hear even when busy (although perhaps being your own headphones - it’s a little wasteful to give you something you wear for an hour then throw away!).

Could have easily spent another hour going around more. Strongly recommend!

Our guide - I was in a group of about 15 - was Jo (I think) and she was very personable and informative.
Jo picked four main paintings to tell us more about, in the allotted hour.
And, of course, while the group walks around, you can enjoy all the paintings you pass.
I especially enjoyed her analysis of the Turner painting (a large ship, being taken to the breakers' yard) and least enjoyed our time in front of Monet's 'Water lilies'. There's not a lot you can say about the painting, as it looks like someone threw a lot of paint at a huge canvas (cue horror from the art aficionados), so Jo couldn't really say a lot about the painting and focused on Monet. Fair enough.
One jarring note - a couple behind me whispered loudly together, looking at their phones (I think at information about the painting we were looking at), while Jo was speaking. Why go on a guided tour, if you're just going to talk over the guide?? Do your own thing, with your phone as your guide! Please.

The guide was excellent and gave structure to the huge gallery. My only suggestion is that it was difficult to hear her and there was no explanation about how to use the device she gave out. Thus most if the tour was unintelligible. What I did catch was lovely though. Speak up please!

A huge gallery with so many different exhibitions to see. An hour is simply not enough to tour so leave plenty of time to make the most of the experience!

The National Gallery London is a must-visit for any art enthusiast. The impressive collection of artworks from all over the world, from the Renaissance to the present day, is awe-inspiring. The knowledgeable staff are always available to answer questions and provide further information about the artworks. The interesting lectures and workshops available are a great way to learn more about the artworks and the history behind them. Visiting the National Gallery London is an inspiring and impressive experience that will stay with you for a long time.
