Itinerary
Trade in paintings for mummies and historical artifacts on a tour of the British Museum. The enormous collection spans 6000 years of human history, featuring items from all over the world including Samurai armor and rare Assyrian lion hunt reliefs. Our guides will take a serious but enjoyable approach towards the museum’s galleries, discussing primitive tribes and fallen empires through a carefully chosen selection of items. You’ll learn about the Mummy of Katebet, the Lewis Chessmen, and the Rosetta Stone – the actual rock, not the language learning program. Walk away with an understanding of what we humans have achieved during our short history and hopefully you’ll be proud to call yourself a part of this incredible species.

This guided tour of British Museum was excellent. Our guide James H was very knowledgable with great communication skills. The small group size was also helpful to move through the crowd. Highly recommended.
We enjoyed our tour with our tour guide Stephanie. The semi private tour turned into a private tour with just me and my mom and Stephanie did not rush the tour and infact did t extra time with us. She was great and showers us the most important highlights without feeling like we missed things. Highly recommend this tour and Stephanie
Brilliant! Fantastic! Would definitely book again. Very much appreciated after work guides expertise.
Our guide Becky L was exceptional. She shared her depth of historical knowledge making the exhibits come alive. Becky answered questions from those in our group, 5 in total. Her voice carries, and enabled my experience as a person who wears hearing aids, to hear clearly. Without hesitation, both my husband and I recommend taking this tour.
