So much to learn - Unbelievably this was my first visit to the History Museum so with us only having limited time we decided this paid tour would be an idea. Great tour, we wanted it kept as short as possible with highlights and this was done well. I felt we got all the interesting stuff without the bits we could read up on. Witty and cleverly done. Highly recommended.

The perfect visit to the British Museum - Andy was wonderful, interesting and funny. I personally enjoyed his ability to find a way to incorporate Monty Python into the history lesson. We told him we just “wanted the highlights” and I feel he gave us just that. For us it was absolutely the perfect way to visit the British Museum.

Phenomenal museum!! Must go!!! - We could have easily spent two whole days in this amazing museum!! It was incredible. My son (11) and I both LOVED it! Sacha was our guide & he did a phenomenal job. He knew so much about the museum and the history of each area/thing/animal that we discussed. He made the whole tour epic!!

Interesting, fun and very enjoyable - Me and my girlfriend got a tour from Matlida and I couldn't have imagined it better. She explained everything with enthousiasm and joy which made even the subjects we weren't as much interested in enjoyable. Would recommend everyone who wants a tour through a museum to do it with her!
