Explore women’s roles in art and discover women painters on a private, art historian-led tour of London’s National Gallery.
About this tour
Where are the women in the National Gallery? On this private London National Gallery tour, an art historian invites you to look beyond the familiar masterpieces and question the roles women have occupied in art.
Walk through the collection and encounter women depicted as goddesses, saints, mothers, muses, and damsels in distress. Along the way, explore works by Botticelli, Titian, Rubens, Rembrandt, and Manet, while learning about the fascinating lives of women painters. The gallery holds around 2,300 paintings, but only about 20 are by women artists, a striking contrast that gives this tour its focus. With a private guide, you can take a closer look at the stories and perspectives behind the images.
Meet in Trafalgar Square outside the Sainsbury Wing entrance. Discover a fresh way to see the collection on this London National Gallery tour, and leave looking at its paintings differently.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 1 review. 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 7.1. Top 50% in London means it ranks in the top 50% of tours in London by this score.
