Kid-Friendly National Gallery Tour in London with Exclusive Guide

Posted By : TTC86
Me and my son (age 11) visited the National Gallery with Roberta and in the short span of just under 3 hours, she has given us a concise history of visual arts from the Medieval period through to the impressionist. Roberta was not only highly knowledgeable in the field of visual arts, she is also an actress, and therefore her commentary on the paintings are not merely reciting of facts, but almost re-enactment of the stories behind, they are most engaging, and memorable, and also very easy follow and understand for arts novices such as ourself. It is however, not all trivia, Roberta was able to explain the use of techniques, allegories, symbolism and many other ‘hidden’ messages in the paintings with simple but effective languages. The tour whisk by in no time, and f given the chance, we shall certainly take it again so that we could ask Roberta to share her insights on other great works in the Gallery.

We booked the kid friendly national gallery tour, for two adults and 2 boys aged 9 and 11 years old. Roberta was our guide, and was completely engaging from the moment we met. The boys were kept interested the whole way through, with tasks of finding objects in the paintings or remembering certain facts that they were told. Myself and my husband learnt so much too. Roberta was very knowledgable and well educated (history of art degree, I think!). We learnt not just about the particular pieces of art and the relevant artists, but also about the more technical aspects of painting. Can’t recommend enough, and would happily take the tour again, as there is so much to see at this wonderful gallery.
