Stan is simply the best tour guide.

Stan is a very experienced and knowledgeable about most of the things in the museum. He is just simply amazing. I was only one who booked the tour, so I had a whole tour myself. Stan explained everything in a very interesting way. The tour duration was only 2.5 hours, but Stan continued the tour and lasted for the whole 4 hours!!

Private tour at British museum

Hit the highlights and Stan was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the information. I very much enjoyed the whole tour. He also tried to engage my 9 year old in the experience which I greatly appreciated.
