About this tour

Spend a day among celebrated art and ancient treasures on a guided London museum combo tour. Over 5.5 hours, including a break, visit the National Gallery and the British Museum with a guide, taking in highlights from two of the city’s most renowned collections.

At the National Gallery, admire works such as Van Gogh’s Sunflowers and Jan van Eyck’s Arnolfini Portrait, while learning about artists including Botticelli, Monet, Rembrandt, and Vermeer. Then explore 6,000 years of human history at the British Museum, where the Rosetta Stone, the Parthenon sculptures, and the Oxus Treasure offer glimpses into civilizations across time. A guide connects the collections and brings context to the works and objects you encounter. The tour is wheelchair accessible, except with the semi-private option.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 84 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in London
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 9.0. Top 4% in London means it ranks in the top 4% of tours in London by this score.
