Fantastic Tour - Our tour with James was great! He was friendly, knowledgeable and got into the queue early so we were one of the first in line. We upgraded to have it be a private tour with just myself and my husband and it was totally worth it. We got to see and hear very interesting. facts and details about the museum and then had time to wander around when the tour concluded. I would highly recommend this tour and if you’re lucky, you’ll have James as your guide!

Outstanding British Museum Guided Tour - Matilda was a stupendous knowledgeable guide who led us through so many rooms and objects I would have totally missed! I learned so much and as appreciative to her concern for my husband and his need to sit. She patiently answered questions and gave great ideas for lunch!

Far far better than a solo museum visit - Jamie was super. Met on time. Great explanations tied to a couple of important historic threads, and some unsolved mysteries. So happy we did this.
