About the Tour
Uncover the Stories Behind the Canvas
With thousands of artworks spanning centuries, Washington DC’s art museums are a treasure trove of culture—if you know where to look. We have curated three specific tour experiences designed to help you bypass the crowds, find the hidden gems, and understand the stories behind the brushstrokes.
Choose the experience that fits your schedule and interests:
The Complete DC Art Experience (Group Tour): Perfect for the visitor who wants to see it all. We combine the National Gallery of Art, the National Portrait Gallery, and the American Art Museum into one power-packed tour. You will walk away having seen the absolute highlights of DC's art world in a single afternoon.
The American History Experience (Group Tour): Skip the European masters and focus on the story of the United States. This tour explores the Portrait Gallery and American Art Museum exclusively, immersing you in the "America's Presidents" exhibit and the diverse works that reflect the country's journey.
The Fully Customizable Experience (Private Tour): Want more depth? Our Private National Gallery Tour offers the ultimate flexibility. While centered on the world-class collection at the NGA, this itinerary is yours to mold. Want to spend two hours solely on French Impressionism? Prefer to skip the NGA entirely and spend all day in the Portrait Gallery? With a private guide, you can add time, remove museums, or tailor the route to focus specifically on the art you love most.
