Museum Natural History London - Huge place where there is plenty to see. Get your shoes ready. The entrance is exceptional, its stairs, its architecture, its height... The part about dinosaurs and animals is really amazing. Things to do during your stay in London (and because it counts, accessible directly from the metro and surrounded by very good pubs).

Our guide was Ivo and we... - Our guide was Ivo and we were lucky enough to essentially have had a private tour with him and it was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Pointed out a lot of cool features about the building we would’ve never known otherwise. Definitely recommend!

Natural History Museum 14. October - We had a fantastic experience at the Natural History Museum because of our guide, Sasha, who reached around the entire museum and in an excellent way gave us a lot of knowledge about the museum and its background. His knowledge is very great, his style is very pleasant, he is well formulated and welcoming and took good time to answer all our questions. He selected various and relevant topics at the museum, which he studied in depth. We have never had such an exciting, lively and interesting museum experience before. We were so much smarter and quite tall when we left the museum yesterday.

Cool Museum and Interesting Tour - Laurence was an experienced and interesting guide to what could have been an overwhelming museum if we were trying to see it on our own. He took us through the museum and made each display we stopped at very interesting. He supplemented with photos from his ipad. Needless to say, we enjoyed the museum more and learned more because of the tour! Highly recommend!

This tour was spectacular... - This tour was spectacular if you enjoy and appreciate the natural world. The museum is full of amazing and unique history. We could not have asked for a better and more knowledgeable guide (Sacha C). The tour starts off what seems like a little rushed, skipping various parts of exhibits. But you very quickly realize and appreciate why. The size of the museum would have you lost and unsure what to see or where to go. Having Sacha pick what he thought were the important things to see worked out extremely well and made a lot of sense. Highly recommended.

A Great Tour - Ivo R gave us a fascinating tour. He clearly loves his subject and communicated very effectively and engagingly. My wife and I loved it, and we would not have gotten nearly as much on our own. Bravo, Ivo.
