“Our tour guide was Andy and I have to say it was an absolute treat. First of all he’s has a PhD in history so he’s probably one of the most knowledgeable people in the world to talk about any of the subjects at the museum. He guided us through what we wanted and painted such a vivid picture for us of what we were seeing that me as a history buff and my wife who enjoys some history were fascinated. He was able to spark curiosity about subjects we really weren’t into before and have discussed often since. So thank you Andy for everything!”

“What an amazing tour!!! The other group on the tour canceled, so I got a private tour. Mira and Alex were excellent, checking in often to ensure I was getting what I wanted from the experience. They also came armed with chocolates, which I'll never decline! They are both incredibly knowledgeable, and their passion for history shines through the entire tour. Thank you so much, Alex and Mira!! I would love to take a tour with you both again!”

Review of the British Museum guided tour in London, with major treasures, small groups, guide quality, pricing, and practical entry advice.
“We loved our tour guide Stuart, and were very grateful he waited for us given the very long queue that we did not realize we had to wait in. Priority entrance is not a thing. Tickets to the British museum are free and you still have to wait in line once you have your tickets. Thus, the name of this tour is inaccurate. You are really paying for a guide for 2 hours which was well worth it given the vastness of the museum. Arrive early because on busy days, the queue can take up to 45 minutes.”
